I haven't been stoned in a year and a half, and I have EI asthma, as well as severe back problems.
Just a tip, Oph.. leave me the fuck alone. I am not in the mood for your patronizing attitude.

THC is alcohol soluble.

In what way is that a tip? It's more of a request, really.
And that wasn't even all that caustic, it's just true. YOU ASKED about perspective, and since this is a public forum, I answered you.

I'm tired. I'm just so tired.
Of all this. Of the bickering, the childishness, the politics.
This site, the people around me. The idle sniping and unpleasantness. The monotony of every day, each breath taking us closer to the end.
I'm so tired.
I'm not giving up. I'm scared to. I can't quit things, because I'll feel everyone's disappointment and know that I gave up when I could have worked harder. But I feel no energy, nothing to carry me forward and let me create my own path. There's nothing worth it.
This planet is poisoned and the people are tainted. There is nothing that's truly beautiful any more, everything is infected with death and disease and criticism and I know, oh I know that I add to it.
But I can't help it. I'm trapped in this same rut as the rest of you, you poisonous people.
And I'm just so tired.

I don't want your 'it's not so bad' responses, or your 'get some perspective' comments, or your sympathy or your pity or your distaste. Because I know it's there already. I know how you react. None of you are original any more, none of you offer me anything new or beautiful. Those that did are fading, old memories like pressed, dead flowers. There are no roses, blooming bright and alive. Just dried up memories.

So get off your butt and do something. Take up a cause and champion it, there are tons of people and things that desperately need an advocate (abuse victims, orphans, the victims of tragedies, those with disabilities, victims of classism/racism/sexism/whatever-ism, endangered animals, the planet itself, the list is nearly endless), you clearly have the intelligence to be able to be able to learn and understand the facts that surround a cause, you just have to do it, even if that means sacrificing some of your own time. So do your part and make this world a little less poisoned.

I have come to the same conclusion after 52 years of observation of this planet, and it doesn't get any better. So in my humble opinion I may as well spend time with others who feel the same bloody way, except that one up competition and sniping gets in the way of a perfectly gloomy melancholy.

BUT...as far as your comment: "There is nothing that's truly beautiful any more", I just look at my grandson and I see beauty. I tremble in fear of the world he will grow into , and of what may become of him, but for now, his smile and the smiles of other children are beautiful.

But the rest of the world sucks.

Just take some time away from the site to do what you think you need in order to regain your peace with the world.

I see 'The Great Sadness' has got you too.

A people come to this
Beyond the age of reason
A people fed on famine
A people on their knees and
A people eat each other
A people stand in line
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my Valentine

For a million empty faces
For a million hollow smiles
Cancer for my education
Watch the body hit the files
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my Valentine

I have an awful headache.

[LiUsAiDh]

I'm on the second day of my two and a half month summer holiday, and I'm already bored as hell. Argh

Sadface.

[raggedyanne]

Stupid doctors have decided that I'm seven months along instead of six and a half. Thanks for telling me NOW!At least I'll get back into school earlier. Also, they phoned yesterday to tell me that the results of the test I had taken a month ago came in two weeks ago saying that I was anemic! Stupid incompetant medical staff.

Global Suckage has reached epic proportions today.

Not that I doubt it, but how so?

[HumanePain]

I'm just whining about the World abusing me from multiple directions, career wise, financially, family. One of those days when you try not to think about all your problems at once, but they all keep freakin' REMINDING ME!

[Solumina]

I'm sorry, if I could I'd give you batch of cookies and a big hug

[Paigeybobert]

I fucking hate the gothic.net picture uploader thing. It pisses me the fuck off.

[Solumina]

I'm sorry, what exactly is the problem that you're having with it?

[raggedyanne]

In response to Humane:

Hugs!!!!! Make a list of every little thing that is bothering you, and I mean every single thing. It helps to see what is making your life difficult and try to find a pattern. It also helps just to write things out instead of bottling them up.

I did that the other day and realized that it all stemmed from confusion over both people thinking the other wanted more space. So we agreed to just take a day or two to do our own things and my little corner the world is calm again. At least until someone forgets to organize the silverware correctly. For the record, butter knives to not go with diner knives, which are never placed with the knife used for cutting fruit!

[HumanePain]

Thanks for the hugs Solumina and raggedyanne. You ladies are sweet.

[raggedyanne]

MMmmm, like chocolate fudge. Why is there no fudge!?

[KontanKarite]

Ok... "spiritual" people, seriously, your mysticism stops where reality starts. Once you try to apply your "magic" to the physical world, you look like a damn idiot. Thank you. Prayer and spells do NOT make shit come out of thin air.

[Sir Canvas Corpsey]

Pigs with no sense of social etiquette!!! If I make you all pizzas since the cook has to go to hospital and I say one slice and piece of garlic bread each until we've made sure that everyone has had one, and then you eat all 6 fucking pizzas, with some people eating as many as 5 slices on the first go and 3 pieces of garlic bread that is not on becauses it leaves me with no dinner despite the fact I FUCKING COOKED IT!!!

[raggedyanne]

That's messed up!
