| Thirteen things Trevor had to say to me over the past few days:
1. Why get so bent out of shape about something that’s not true? Or is there a raw nerve in all those lies?
2. You can’t accomplish shit if you’re all worked up. Go chug some Pepto so you don’t puke, get some sleep, and chill out.
3. No, it may NOT work out. But that’s how life is. Deal.
4. Mitchell’s mom says fighting for someone who can’t fight for themselves is noble. I think it’s just the way it’s gotta be.
5. You gotta stop and think about what’s hurting her the most, and fix that first. The rest’ll happen on its own.
6. Most people are jerks. That’s why the world needs people like me — to balance out the jerks.
7. What do you mean I’M a jerk? Been talking to Mitchell or something?
8. Yeah, it hurts like a motherfucker when you break a bone, but it’s nothing compared to when a family member breaks your heart.
9. It takes this sort of shit for you to know what you’re made of. Once you figure that out, all the rest’s a breeze.
10. Sometimes, facing down the shit’s the hardest thing you can do. But if it’s gotta get done, it’s gotta get done, so suck it up and figure out how to make it happen.
11. Quitcher bitching, stop stressing, and get it done already.
12. Don’t forget what you’re fighting for.
13. Sometimes, what feels like a retreat is really the smartest thing you can do. It gives you time to regroup and catch them on the upswing.

Once I get some distance, I’ll tell you about it. What matters is that the four of us are okay; it’s the extended family who’s causing the trouble.

for someone who comes across as so self-absorbed and impulsive most of the time, Trevor has surprizingly on target insight. i guess that music that reaches so many has to come from somewhere besides his belly button.BR/BR/my tt is in honor of my husband’s grandmother who passed on Tuesday. She would have been 93 July 6th

Fighting for those who can’t fight is noble, but fighting for those who won’t is an exercise in extreme frustration and uselessness.

I desperately need to remember #2 and #10!BR/BR/I just love the brazen “deal with it” attitude, really. #9 is a perfect example of the kind of strength you acquire when you get to the other side of the shit.BR/BR/xoxo

Ok, I know little about the real you, but I have your back. . well, I suppose I could get someone else have your back; I would probably fall on my face trying to help, because extended family, well, been in my own fracas before, serious business that. Trevor, however, he rocks at this stuff!BR/BR/Wishing well. . .
