I went to see Danielle today
Feb. 6th, 2005 10:13 pmShe's in such bad shape, mentally. I really feel bad for her.
Everyone, if you could, feel pleasant and friendly feelings at her when she comes out. I speak from experience - the Box is hell on people like us. To be cut off from your own feelings, to feel the cold oppression of those steel walls - it still occasionally gives me nightmares.
So, please - if not for me, then for her. Be gentle with her. Understand her moods. how she feels. She can't help what she's doing - not yet. We're working on it. I learned, so can she. And she is far more well-liked than I ever was, so she should have an easier time of it.
