Do you ever get the feeling that you've seen it all
Nothing surprises you anymore , nothing new under the sun , its all downhill from this point on. You feel burned out , discover yourself talking with God in your living room demanding he reveal itself to your inner eye...

wondering whats the points ...

Feeling there's only up and down and left and right and front and back and nothing more , and even that is no escape if you ever lose your breath .

And your breath , in and out , in and out , fucking in and fucking out yet never beyond , and you laugh at those old torn clothes of heaven and hell and religion that don't fit you anymore ,

but still people slip like crazy in metal contraptions all over the veins of the world .

Death is terrifying and life is sour , and it feels like the best thing that could have happened was not being born at all.

I pity us all , all of us deserve pity , including the evildoers , for this state , this being in space and time seems to my poor aching brain completely useless and absurd, and within our moldy souls all our fantasies and panaceas are worth nothing , nothing at all.

So , Goodbye.

4. I have been better ...
but I think I am ok , if I compare myself to the millions of people who die in Africa each year just because they lack rectangular green paper thingies.

5. Please respond back to your post UndertheOcean
You're seeing the dark before the light and although it sucks, there's nothing to pity. We are on the cusp of great change here and you're needed so stop with the goodbye's, ok?

10. Could you please confirm that you are not going to harm yourself?
Everyone in the lounge wants you to blurt out what is bursting from your heart...we all need to do that and this is a great environment for emotional release. We just need to make sure you're willing to do the same next week and the week after that, etc. We need that from you, ok? I don't like goodbye's personally so please stick around. :)

8. As long as we are
alive, there is always a chance we can make things better. Once we are gone, all our chances are gone.

Just the outside chance of making the world a better place is worth all the patience and fighting spirit we can gather. It's why we stay. It's why we get up each day. It's why we keep learning. It's why we keep communicating.

9. life is still worth living.
there's always something. we can never have seen everything.
the cosmos is vast, and we are tiny and insignificant.

15. sound like me when I need to adjust my medication
seriously.

Depression creeps in and my attitude goes negative.

Its the 'Why bother, fuck it' mindset combined with too much brain activity -

sometimes your feelings are your worst enemy. During these times I keep repeating to myself "THINGS WILL GET BETTER"

and they always do.
