It was wordy, and slightly headache inducing, but I think that by the end of it you don't mind in the slightest.
I guess one way to fix that may be to try and connect all of the individual sentences?
I feel like you're playing connect the dots with me, but you're just poking holes in random places, and while I can see the holes clearly, and I can see where they all clump together, I can't quite see exactly the picture all the holes make.
But I can feel it. And I think that is what's most important.
This is a very emotional work. It is nice to read on a personal level. It hits the soul, as they say.
Thank you. I am glad you gave me the chance to read this.
Emotion can't be forced into that perfect little box. Well, at least it shouldn't be. And the people that do that don't understand their emotions.
Since I'm not critiquing, I'm gonna just tell you what I think of it.
I love it.
It's something real an viable in a place where there is so much fraud and fake. It helps that I can empathize with you on many counts. Fuck, damn near all counts.
And it's because of that that I feel the need to say the following.
Because of the dark connotations at the end of this and my own experiences with suicide, trust me, there is more to life and living for. If you only focus on the negatives in your life, relationships and effect that you have on others, there will always only seem to be one possible outcome. And it's not worth it. Honestly. It's not.
I've found that focusing on the positive things I have makes all the bad horrible things go away. I had a shitty childhood filled with things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, but I made it through because of my brother and my need to make sure he was safe. Now I'm good. I'm healthy. I have healthy relationships with other people. I have loving relationships with other people that love me for who I am and don't try to change me to fit some label in pop culture.
Shit, I kinda went off on a tangent there. Sorry. This is just a topic that really hits home with me and makes me worry about others. Feeling worthless is the absolute worse feeling in the world, and it hurts me to know there are wonderful people out there that don't know how to look at themselves right because no one was there to show them.
Most of this is behind me now, though I can't help but to think these things time and time again. It warms me knowing that you can relate to this as well, and that you've healed since.
I can't agree more. Most of those kids just have that smile plastered on their face, and when ask they lie themselves out so they won't have to face anyone but themselves. Growing up, I was one of them.
Though I have really strange hours.
Seriously though, I'm happy you've worked through this, and yes there are times when it comes back. Even after it's years later. I have a rock solid housemate that takes car of me when times are bad, though. Not sure what I'd do without her sometimes. You should get one of them. But not mine. I don't like to share.
Yeah, it comes back. It came back today. It will probably come again tomorrow, or this week, or just hit me when I least expect it. DA is a wonderful outlet for this kind of thing, since I really have no one else to talk to about it. My family would gripe about it if anything, and I'm a loner anywhere else. Not that I mind.
But this might be the thing to blame. [link]
Maybe I am being a bit ridiculous right now, but I just fell I need to do this:
