Marlene McKinnon
Yes, Marlene. that's exactly what I'm saying. I know that the sands keep shifting, but we have to have hope! If we don't have that, we don't have anything.
So be angry. Take it out on the world, but don't take it out on yourself. If you do that, the pain will be all you've ever had. It'll negate hope and take away from what Benjy tried to do. He wanted you to be happy and not only with him. He isn't the sole possible source of happiness for you. While I know that's not what you want to hear and that you might not believe me, the fact remains that it's true. Pain isn't all that's left felt you, Marlene. Don't let the pain win. You're not alone.
