I'm ready to figure out why the hell do I even exist. |

I would wager that everyone that I have interacted with would be better off without me.

2. Remember "it's a wonderful life", the movie |

Jimmy Stuart had the same questions. I also remember some philosopher saying that 75% of men led a life of quiet desperation. Truman Capote?

I have interacted with you in The DU Lounge.
I would not be better off without you.

Dignity! Dignity!
No matter how badly the world may have knocked you down and kicked you and cut you and sodomized you, find your last ounce of strength and raise yourself up, as straight as you are able to, shout defiance at the rabble that pulled you down to the mud from whence they came, and give them the honor that all dignified men and women pay to gutter scum -- the Middle Finger Salute.
The world can NOT be better off without you, since it is so completely lacking in value ab ovo. The sole task of the individual is to better the human pigsty with his or her very existence.
As they (and you know who they are) say, when life gives you lemons, kick it in the balls.

don't let anyone have the kind of power where they can make you feel shitty about yourself.
Get out there and kick ass

other one:
I'm seeing signs of clinical depression here. You need to get some help.
If your knee hurt, you'd go to an orthopedic surgeon, right? No difference. If your brain hurts, go see a doctor who can help you deal with the problem.
There's no shame, no weakness in doing that. Trust me on this.

15. Alright coloradodem2005... |

You may not even remember who I am, but I have to tell you that I have read a number of your posts and I think there are a lot of people (me included) who are better off for your existence. I always enjoy your music posts (you've even made me reconsider my opinion of AC/DC!) and your posts about this horrible thing we call life always speak to me.
In a number of ways I can relate to a lot of what you're going through right now. Hell, I'm so out of it all- I feel like I gave up on women long ago (meaning, I don't actively try to pursue them; not that I wouldn't try again if one I liked seemed interested) and feel like the older I get the less of a clue I have about why we exist. I just figure we're here on Earth for whatever reason, and we all have at least one person, two people, a handful of people, many people, whatever... who would be torn up if we didn't exist, so we might as well try to make the most of the life we have. Or just make something of it at all. Hard as it can be to deal with the massive amounts of shit that seem to get thrown our way, sometimes for absolutely no reason at all.
Anyway, guess that's what I wanted to say. If you want, feel free to PM me.
