		<description>Hey Steph, this is beautiful, and the drawing that seems to go along with it is beautiful too.  I wish I had some words of encouragement or something helpful to say, but I know how hollow things like that sound when this is new and raw.  Some things just have to be felt.
  
Anyway, I am glad I found your blog.  It is nice to see what you're up to and discovering.  

Thanks for your words on my dismal post this morning.  I know..JNCO jeans.   I wish I had more of them, I tried to put them on before I cut them. I've grown since then in every conceivable direction, and I'm glad.  I'm sure it would have been worse than looking through an old yearbook.   But I kept the little embroidered character they used to have... just in case.</description>

		<description>Hey Steph,

I don't know if you remember me or not...we only met once. I checked Dan's fb page &#38; noticed you two weren't dating anymore-- which led me here. I love this poem! It's absolutely beautiful. Just wanted to let you know.

		<description>Steph! my long-lost poetry pal.

i love this poem, especially the last stanza. I think it speaks to so many of us who've been in that situation.

i'm sorry to hear about you and dan parting ways, and the after effects. PLEASE hang out with me soon =) I should be in Des Moines pretty frequently over the next few months - a good friend of mine is getting married and I'm her Maid of Honor. Dress shopping makes me irritaed and it would be great to see your beautiful face!

Text or call - 451-3479. Also, if you can make it to my naughty party this saturday, i would love it! =)</description>

		<description>Hey Steph,

I saw your blog post on myspace which lead me here.  Thought I would check out your poetry.  Hope you don't mind. :P

This poems is very good, even if it is mind bogglingly depressing.  You really capture a feeling that I think many people can relate to.  That moment of contemplation and doubt that overwhelms us from within.  When then luster of a previously made choice goes through a second (third, fourth, etc) review in our hearts and our minds.

I think it's a beautifully captured emotion and circumstance that invokes commonality between you and the reader.  It has a unique "every man (person)" element, and a deep emotion and that sets it well above the status quo of todays artistic drivel.

I hope the emotion you have been kind enough to expose to the world in this poem is only a reflection of one of many emotions that carry you through this life.  I, for one, like to see you smiling happily at whatever it is that tickles your fancy. 

"You should smile more!   They are free, and they look great on you."

Hope all is well,

Bry</description>
