    That made me shiver.
    And then nearly cry.
    Which is amazing, cos stories (unless they're really really amazing) usually never do that to me.
    Anyways, that was so..so beautiful and real. And sad, very sad.
    I can really relate to it.
    And the ending...was just amazing.

    Jeez girl.
    just wow.
    I'm not going to fawn over your writing, but over you.
    that you're not totally lost, or dead, or worse right now, at least to my outside view, amazes me. I envy whatever it is in you that lets you keep the conviction that life is beautiful after the shit you've been through.
    you're an amazing person. Arms

    I was reading your profile and clicked on a link. And I'm really glad I did because I loved this.

    This is really beautiful, just wow. And it makes it even more beautiful that you didn't reveal any names.
    I can't even say which line I like the most, 'cause then I would have to quote the whole story. But one thing I can say; I love the ending.

    You really went through all this? Wow. Although I don't know you, I really have to say that you have a lot of strenght and will power to get through all that

    You know what? I think you just became my new idol.
    You really have a talent.

    Life is beautiful?

    that was beautiful.
    you are so very talented and i knew that your story was autobiographical before i even read your comment. it was so real, i thought to myself that there was NO way, ANYONE could write like that and not have felt it. thankyou.

    Wow, Dru, that was beautiful. The words were just so powerful, and the pureness of everything! My arms had goosebumps on them. That's how I get when I read a great story, have it be published or on here. I still have them. It was so great I can't think of anything to say! Basically, it was fantastic. No. It wasn't fantastic...there isn't a word to describe how great a story this is.

    Everything you write is amazing - it can touch everyone. Especially this one, since it was true. It has touched me. A lot

    I feel bad that my review is short. Words just aren't coming to my mouth at the moment to describe the intensity of your writing.

    I am in awe. I know how hard it must have been to write this, to talk about the things that have happened and the things you've been through...

    This story is true, and pure, and real. I know we haven't ever really talked, but your an inspiration to me and to many others. Your a very very talented person, your like a hero. Seriously.

    I had to try very hard not to start crying when reading this, you've manage to write something that touches people in a way I don't think they even know. It's beautiful Dru. I'm so glad I've read this. You don't know how much hope this story had given me.

    I can't remember the last thing I've read that was this pure. It feels like it was written with your blood. Like you detached a piece of yourself and your past and interwined it with the flowing narration.
    Readin it felt like being trapped in a swirl or pludging off a high building. Not that I want to commit suicide because of this. It's just that I was consumed by the story. I simply couldn't stop reading.

    It's as if the girl is looking at a photo album or some kind of book of her past that brings old memories in such an overwhelming rush. She's losing herself and the way that never really existed only to find a new way, the way that could free her off all the pain. I don't know what was it that made you conclude that Life was beautiful after all, but according to this it must've been something so magnificent yet imperfect.
    But I don't want to mess with your personal life, so I'll just go on.

    Her fingers flew across the keyboard, her tears disappeared, her mind reeled with infinite plotlines, her computer screen filled with words . . .

    Life is beautiful.

    I love the end. Can a thing like a story or a person really change everything? I don't know. But your story gives me the reason to believe so.

    Thanks for putting it up. It was a long-awaited release for me.

    I can't imagine how hard it must have been to put it all out there. For everyone to see. I would never do that. I haven't got the balls.

    It was really amazing.

    Fuck, just fuck its the only way to describe it.

    How anyone can go through so much and still stay so stong on the outside for all the people who 'worship' her is just amazing.

    The way you could write about it the way you did was just, omg no word, shows how far you have come!

    I don't even know you and I am proud of you, not only for your writing now but also for your strength.

    That was beautiful and so are you.

    An important thing I realized was how readers always demand more without realizing that, perhaps, the writer cannot produce it on demand.
