Shadow I don’t know what you may have done about this issue and am not sure if this friend you are wanting to be more than a friend with. But if you are, let me tell you I was the girl on the other end of this at one time. My now husband wasn’t completely honest with me at first and I wish he had been. I now understand why he wasn’t and that it was embarrassing and scary for him. But from the day we started dating I told him I was looking for someone to marry and that was a main topic for us (like how we wanted to live our married lives). I only found out the whole truth after he was detained by local police and the INS was called. As you can immagine this was a shocker. In the end he came full out with everything while sitting in a jail cell. The point is that no matter how she finds out you should tell her the whole truth if your wanting this to be a lasting relationship. If its meant to be it will be. Gee look at me now I have given up my previous life to live in Mexico with that boy who lied to me by omission for quite some time.

Look, I read you blog quite a bit and I cant agree more with what you are saying here. So listen, you are human and not God. I honestly have no idea where your beliefs are but God is the only one who can help those other people or you. Its time to give all those burdens to him. Trust him to care for the ones you love as well as yourself. Life and this world are out of your hands and the more you try to control any of it the worse it will get. Sure good deeds for people are a good thing and can, if done in love and with the will of God, change others lives forever. But those things and words must be done with in Gods will. Iv often thought to comment this type of thing to you but have felt it was not time. For some reason I feel this is the time. So I hope you take this in love and truely think on it.

I found this whilst searching for answers to a very differcult situation I am in, I feel like I’m living a lie, tonight I felt really bad and depressed and I googled it in desperation and found your blog. Its really helped me to read through all your posts, I dont know why, I cant say, but I feel better for having read through them all.

Life sucks, but depression aside you sound a very caring and extremely intelligent person. Both can help depression in their own ways though. To have the intelligence to examine depression at a deep level is a extremely dangerous thing I’ve found.

Well I’m blabbering.. I just wanted to say thank you, you made me feel better for reading your posts.

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I am an undocumented student at an university as well. And I know there are other students in our situation.

I know how you feel about the lying part and I know it’s very upsetting to have to keep half of your life a secret from others. But it is something that we have to deal with.

If you really like her, you should tell her the truth. You’ll be surprised at her response. If she truly likes you, she will support you. If she doesn’t understand, then she’s probably not the one for you. Maybe you don’t have to tell her straight out. You could let her read one of your posts but don’t tell her it’s yours at first and just watch her reaction. You’ll know the answer when you see her.

Best wishes on all your endeavors. And never give up dreaming and reaching those dreams.

You’re like me in that you lie by omission, which is different than a typical lie. I just feel like it’s better a lot of people don’t know the details of my life, so I don’t offer additional information.

Guilt has only kicked in for me when there has been a misunderstanding because someone has drawn the wrong conclusions, no fault of mine, except that I didn’t offer the info in the 1st place.

It seems you have successfully confided in some of your friends, so why not use the same method you did with them (in time) with your new friend? If none of them dropped you as a friend then you’ve got the right approach and that in my opinion is the hardest part. I wish you well!

Yep. I really like the lamp post picture. I need to take more like that but it is time consuming. Thanks for the compliment!

These are beautiful. I love the last three. That lamp-post really makes that pic special. And when you catch the right trees at just the right time, when their fall color is exactly like satin, or velvet, they don’t seem to be just made of leaves and branches anymore, they are art.

Well, I will review the movie once I see it. I highly recommend the book though, but don’t read it if you are depressed, it will only make you feel worse about humanity and life in general. Thanks for reading!
