Hey, @galenkp.

Nope. Wasn't thinking about suicide at all. I was thinking more along the lines of close relationships being strained, but you said all is good, so as I said, I'm crazy. And I'm glad that's the case. :)

re: complaining

I wouldn't say it's wrong. As you said, life doesn't go as planned more than we like, and sometimes, being human, that affects us more at certain times when we might normally just power through.

However, I wasn't really getting that vibe from you as far as complaining goes. You being a little more reflective is part of it, but something else, too. You feeling the twists and turns of life a little more and then sharing it might be it. It's not like you don't do that normally—I guess I was just reading an uptick in it and wondered what might have happened.

At any rate, I'm glad I finally asked. I've been concerned for a while and I decided I should finally break the "bro code of silence" (my term for this) and ask. :) Never was all that good at that particular bro code, anyway, which I blame on my mother, since that's where the urge to know what's going on and then talk about it comes from. :)
