I appreciate it. You really have a great heart to want to help somebody out who barely talks to you. I'm glad I had some sort of effect on you that made you remotely care about my situation.

Mara and I are doing a lot of talking. More talking than we ever did when we were together. I broke up with her for very selfish reasons last Sunday. It wasn't until Tuesday until I caught her in person, and boy did I get an earful. She made me realize a lot about myself I wasn't completely aware of. Things I did to her, or to myself, that were destructive.

Since then we've talked a lot... and will continue talking... until it seems like we should be together again. Or, if the wind blows us in different directions, then at least we can say we tried.

I really love her a lot, and this is a situation where I've already considered everything about how it all came about. I'm more than positive I made a mistake, and I want to make it right.

Thanks again for offering your support. You really know who you can call friends and who you can't when you're down.
