cassidyroseSo, it has occured to me that August is generally a bad month for me. I guess it really is a reminder of sad and/or bittersweet things for me.
--August 8th was the anniversary of a relationship with someone I still terribly miss at times. Someone who the last time I saw him 7 years ago was still slowly killing himself with drugs.
--August 8th is the birthday of my ex-fiance. He hated me for a _long_ time. He doesn't anymore, but I think I still pain him.
--August 9th, 1995 Jerry Garcia died. Need I say more. A close friend of mine sent me the following quote from a dead song when Jerry died:
"Summer flies and August dies
the world grows dark and mean"
I think of those lines every August 9th now. It is from an incredibly beautiful song, "Days Between" which I have a vivid memory of hearing live at the Colliseum with the friend who sent me the quote. Full lyrics can be found at: http://arts.ucsc.edu/GDead/AGDL/days.html
--August 19th is my ex-best-friend's (from high school) b-day.
--The last week of August 1999 was when things with my now ex-husband went from tolerably bad, to intolerably _awful_ and crazy, and my world came collapsing down around me.
So, yeah, as far as months go, August isn't a great one.
