*"Really, Rohag, you've heard of Puffyprue but you shouldn't reply to a thread without knowing a bit more about the person...(goes to Puffyprue's profile page)...Oh, look at all the friends!...Goodness, how sweet!...DoodGy! Precious! This is a gem of a person, no doubt..."*

Depression. Self-hatred. Self-accusal. Self-deprecation. Sense of being lost. Horrid illness!

Puffyprue, if we could, we'd remove it all from you. At least we'd shoo away the undeserved shame. But I know, we know...I can tell myself a thousand times I'm not the monster I see in the mirror but it does no good. So I harbor no illusion that words will convince you I saw a true princess when I looked at your page.

Well, whether or not it helps -- Here's to Puffyprue the Precious! May those lying feelings flee you as shadows flee from light.
