caring Yoda What do I care if you care about anything? It makes no difference to me, and yet I still have the feeling that I need to help in some way, any way, to make you want to care… to make you become like me. If no one cared then I would not need to help, but until then… or if there ever is a then. Hello, I am Yoda. 000504 ... lola I need somebody to hug me. -Lola 000511 ... typhoid maybe if you just asked, somebody would ;) 000511 ... lola at the time, i did need a hug and so i thought of blathing under "aside"- 'i need a hug' but then it became a greater joke opportunity (did anybody get it?) thus masking that original thought. the wallet and keys are now found. would you hug me still? i like it when you do. i hug back, you know. -L-O-L-A 000511 ... rollins As miserable as life may be I hold it pretty precious 010106 ...

Risen Caring about me brings people pain. I could put it in more complex terms, but that's basically the crux of it. When I was a child, it hurt to care about me and see me go through endless traumas. As a teenager, well, it hurt to care about me because I lashed out a LOT. Now, it hurts to care about me, because my suffering is never-ending, and it's too depressing to watch. Dragging other people down with you brings so much guilt, so much anger at the world and your circumstances. For a long time, I thought about putting myself out of my misery. But that would cause so much pain for others that I just cannot contemplate it. The thing which really brought it home, ironically enough, was the Blacklist. There's a beautiful (and somewhat graphic) speech which ends in the observation that every suicide is like a suicide bomb - 2An act of terror perpetrated against everyone who's ever known you. Everyone who's ever loved you. The people closest to you, the ones who cherish you are the ones who suffer the most pain, the most damage. Why would you do that? Why would you do that to people who love you?" I don't ever want to do that kind of thing again. It may hurt to care about me, but I don't want it to be because I'm the one doing the hurting. Never again. I know I'll never have things like a family, or even a girlfriend. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. The daydreams are enough. I wish I could tell people how sorry I am that they care for/about me. I wish I could stop it hurting them. Today_I_feel shame and guilt. 180731 ...

Risen, I just read what you wrote and I have to say that alot of that resonated with me, and I wish you all the best reasons for carrying on.
