So funny...I knew exactly who you were talking about before I got to the authors note. Awful bold of you, Val.

Very nicely written, tight theme.

It sounds like the inane ramblings of a bitter child ... and I don't mean to be cruel but the whole "Why should you be happy when I am not?"

It doesn't sound like sadness - it sounds like an angry bitter person wrote this - it sounds like someone lashing out through words they could never speak.

I mean, it is two years old and all so perhaps that's why it sounded like a bitter child. Inexperience in life leads to bitterness and anger towards others. Thinking we deserve everything that someone else has is also a very very unwise thing to do. Everyone gets what THEY deserve ... not what OTHERS have received.
