Sure. If you tore apart and sold everything on earth, it'd be worth a few quadrillion dollars. What would you have left? Would it be worth it? Value comes from beyond physical and beyond menial. There's very little that's worth dying for. There's also a lot that's not even worth remembering.

Merely making an observation.

Going catatonic and hallucinating vividly for a couple hours can help your mindset.

I will see if I can ask her permission to creep on her facebook. Things can escalate from there better than two days a week at most in person.

Welp, that's good.

The wimmenfolk around these parts that I'm at least remotely interested in, I see at most once a week regularly - twice if I'm luck enough to pass them while I'm going to class (late, usually).

Maybe even get a phone number. Maybe escalate things to some light texting.

Wisdom teeth, various crowns, ACL & MCL crap, some random nails (idk wtf for), plenty of car accidents, stupid teenage accidents, various stitches (some dissappearing in my body before being removed), broken bones, just basic stuff with a heafty price tag. Not to mention enough medication over the years to sedate a herd of rhinos (and then ritalin to shoot them back up), and a couple of OD's (unintentional).

It sucks. A lot. There were only 2 times when I wanted to take my life, and that was one. Mainly because I never in my wildest dreams imagined the amount of pain there would be from post-surgery, then from Physical therapy. But, it makes every other pain pale in comparison. I have some weird back problem right now that is super painful, and I have to get epidurals, heavy pain pills, and physical therapy, but it is nothing compared to that. The worst part of the ACL tear was the fact that it was right before prom and I had a date and everything. Never did go to prom.

I didn't intend for them to recieve it that way, but there is only so much that talking about your problems can do. Eventually, you have to do something about them. Eventually you just have to confront the issue headon, because if you just wait it will probably escalate.

And if you can't confront it... then run. Quit your job. Sell your house. Move. Just get out of that situation that depresses you. It's what older bands of hunter-gatherer societies did, so there is really almost nothing healthier.

But, alas... such is the woes of American society. You get stuck in your place, and you are expected to stay there... but if you don't like it, then something is wrong with you. Not the situation. Your attitude... your character... Bullshit. All of it. Get up. Move. Do what you need to do.

The concept is easy to say, but then again that is exactly why you would not understand why others need to air things out. I can easily grab my bike and go to another state and pick up from there. But, not every human being on this earth has an IQ in the upper atmosphere, so some people need encouragement from others, without being bombarded by calloused attitudes of others demanding they simply change. I seriously doubt that you actually care (based on your signature), but could it be possible that this could have been the change they needed to make ripples into tidal waves before your criticism entered into the mix.

And those hunter gatherer societies you speak of took thousands of years to just uproot entire communities, losing hundreds if not thousands of people on the way to a better life. Is it so horrible if we want to take a little time to pick those people up and help them move forward instead of leaving them behind.

A generalized statement (so eloquently proving your level of compassion) about how the situation couldn't possibly be to blame for someone's problems, should probably be saved for your own head. That way you can actually think about how people will receive a statement before you project it to the world. I am not insulting you, I am simply saying what just happened because of a few words you spoke. Words are powerful.
