I just wrote this short little story I thought you all might like. It took about an hour to write, but I think it was worth it.

Hey
Kinda rollercoaster of emotions.. well, for me anyway. It had me wishing I was dead, happy that I'm alive, then wishing I was dead, again.
On the whole, tho, it's a depressingly sweet story. Probably not the descriptive term you were aiming at, but it was. It made me kinda warm inside, while also making me want to sob like a girl.
I also loved the little fuzzy box of commitment metaphor. (If it is a metaphor, it's been a while since I studied English).

'Twas slipping off the page..

(Sorry, but it's worth reading).
Indeed worth reading.
It hit the spot. Some very sincere shit, that story. I enjoyed reading it.
That's brilliance with a capital B :)
good job RE, you've gotten the message across and managed not to labour the point. All in all it was a very sweet and highly enjoyable story
