Awful news to come back to. The passing of eyestar~* is the first on WDC to really affect me. Really puts things into perspective, the "Sad news" message in my inbox is RIGHT below the notice that my upgrade expired. I laughed because of the wordplay "Sad news, your upgrade expired!" But after reading the email it helps in a weird way to get me out of my head, feeling sorry for myself for going on 8 months unemployed. The stress is starting to pile on, but that's an issue, not a problem, relatively speaking. Thinking about doing a contest fundraiser centered around stories/poem about grief and people we've lost. Yay or Nay? |
Also, consider having different categories. Maybe one for a person who has passed on but who really inspired you or changed your life or even maybe a comedy option. Not everyone wants to dredge up hard emotions.
