1. Usually you don't have much of a choice.
You're either on one path or the other. :shrug:

I hope you're not on either one. Please stay here for a lot longer. :hug:

9. I'm working on that.
I can't really say anything yet, because it's all up in the air. But I think something good might happen soon. :)

5. Sneak out so quietly that it's hours before anyone notices that you're missing.
I've always been good at doing that.

17. No you don't. God damn it, now you're pissing me off. You listen to me and you listen
right now.

Unless you have cancer or the equivalent, just stop. Just fucking stop.

I'll keep this short and to the point, because I need to go to bed.

My world is defined by pain. It's the first thing I notice when I wake up in the morning, and it's the last thing I'm aware of when I fall asleep at night.

Every day. Every SINGLE day. And it's never going to change. That's just what my life is going to be, and there's not a goddamn thing that I, or anyone else, can do to change it. It's NOT going away, no matter how many nights I spend walking in circles in my house or down Main Street in town because it 3 AM and I can't sleep because the pain is so bad.

It's what is. And as miserable as it is, I'm NOT going off the bridge any time soon. Because I can either 1) enjoy the pleasures of life, such as eating dinner with my wife and kids, or feeling the warmth of the sun on the first true day of spring, or just standing still for a moment to drink in what the world offers me, or 2) not be here to enjoy whatever pleasure I might find.

I'm sticking around, because who knows what enjoyment, no matter how small, might I miss if I didn't?

Perspective. I highly recommend having some of that, because it's kept me off the bridge for about 15 years now.

24. Will there be a Phoenix act in reaction to the aforementioned burnout?





BTW a fade away act is acceptable only if you promise to return. :loveya:
Otherwise I suggest you hang around and kick some motherfuckin' ass!

27. I always thought burn out
rather than fade away

but then, I don't know much either :P

Hope you don't burn out or fade away anytime soon
