That a lot of you on here are absolutely amazing and talented people. I find it extremely strange that all of you have knack for stylistic writing. Have you seen how beautiful you write? The way you describe your shattered hopes and your distant dreams. It is so heartbreaking the way you guys describe it in an eerie yet beautiful poetic way. I think that you merely writing about how horrible and hard life has been is something that should help you persevere, as that is how I am beginning to feel. When you guys write on here, I can feel your pain, and it is an extraordinary thing because that is not how you feel when you read a book or even a biography. Â I think that all of you have a talent of what I call ‘pure’ writing, or writing from the heart and soul. It’s a beautiful thing. And only happens when you’re in pain. So that should make more of a reason to persevere beyond these pains and look back at these posts and writings and think of youself as a strong and beautiful person who has been through way more than the average human. Just take a minute. And think about it. Because we’re all on the same page.
I find you all to be talented and wonderful people who have been through a lot of things that you didn’t deserve to go through. I hope we persevere. I hope I persevere. I hope you persevere. 🙂

It’s not at all surprising that people are able to craft more vividly with the plethora of colors that sadness gives us to paint the world with.

Yes. I would definitely agree. But I think telling our stories and helping others helps us cope- whether we know it or not.
Ok
when we help others, we are also helping ourselves.
thanks for the quotes indierockgirl, gotta love Rumi.
I’m eating and have a plentiful supply of beer. Can’t really get better than that
I love this post.
I didn’t know that you would come back here. I’m glad that you did
Yes, we are helping ourselves while helping others. I consider a beautiful contradiction of some sort. And yeahh…I love Rumi! He makes me feel so alive.
Thanks! I hope I made you feel at least a little bit better…I needed it as well so I made one. lol
Thanks. I’m glad you’re here as well!! And I don’t drink dudee so lol I can’t relate!
I could have guessed. Your not missing much 🙂
There was a girl on here called Gaara. Of all the writers I know, she was the best I have seen. We became friends but she doesn’t post here anymore. You can search her posts if you are interested.
hahaa. Of course dude- you’re already ‘in’ on how my life is…and yeah I can kind of tell that it’s not that amazing. I mean simply put…it’s just a drink that kinda removes you from yourself…doesn’t sound to fun to me lol
Yeah, who would want to be removed from themselves. That’s just crazy.
and i’ll do that. I hope nothing bad happened to her.
idk why but the way that was worded made me laugh…lol
No, she’s fine. I don’t think she was benefiting from the site anymore. I wasn’t either, until you showed up.
Hahaa…thanks! what a compliment. and yeah it is pretty gloomy down here. Seems like the basement of the internet or something
That was the thing I liked about it. Other suicide sites are just too cheerful for me.
I think you might be going through what I used to be going through…..you enjoy looking at sad and horrifying things. You enjoy feeling sorry for people. I think it’s called being sadistic. You find it more interesting than happiness- which if you go out in public seems so abundant. I think I know….that was me…not very long ago.
indie, …….. I’m going to have to remember that line; “seems like the basement of the internet”, lol.
ahaha but it really does! It can even be an extended metaphor in which when there’s ‘tornado’ (pain caused by someone, loneliness, etc) and one decides to come down here to the basement of the internet to ‘save’ themselves by telling their story.
Sadistic. Try talking to an imaginary cat. It’s not the sadness that I took comfort from.
I’m still not ‘in’ on that one dude. hahaa. If you’re not sadistic, then how would you describe yourself?
I’m a humanist.
Definition for humanist:
Web definitions:
humanistic: of or pertaining to Renaissance humanism; “the humanistic revival of learning”…….according to Google….lol but I still don’t understand that….
And a Wikipedia excerpt: “…many humanist movements have become strongly aligned with atheism”
That’s not you now is it?
I don’t know what a humanist is….
Yesterday was the first time that you posted here. What made you post again
idk….I felt like crap…and I was thinking “No one is ever going to make a semi optimistic post on here to make everyone (including myself) feel better”…..so I decided to do it myself
And I’ve always felt like I have been born with the notion to help others regardless of any pain I am going through myself. I haven’t been volunteering anywhere lately so I thought this post and helping others on here might make up for it.
And dude, once I came here with my own problems…I don’t think I can leave…idk why…there’s something about this place.
It’s not the same as it was and unfortunately, I don’t think it ever will be. I had a lot of respect for the posters that were here, they were very inspiring.
I agree. However, I still think they are….
Anyways, I notice you dodge a lot of questions about yourself. You know you are a person too!
You can ask me anything, but you will have to put it in an email. I don’t like talking about myself in detail on here anymore for obvious reasons
Ahhhh. I got it…Yeah….I’m a bit absent-minded lol
I deleted all of my posts because I wanted to remove every aspect of my individuality, my identity. People take it for granted.
I emailed you saying random jibber…hahaa
We are emphatic people, more so than any other type of person, we feel deeper and richer than others, most people on here also have a high iq (it seems that depression and genious share a commen trait i believe) seems only logical they are capable of documenting thoughts and emotions clearly and accuratly and with skill
