It's still sad to just "exist" from now on. I understand wallowing and just existing. I did it for 3 years. Didn't do me one bit of good. Honestly. I'm choosing to 'live'...and you can too. Whatever that entails...you gotta start doing things that make YOU happy. If you don't know what they are...then who does? It's your life. After all the painful stuff you've been through, do you think you just deserve to 'exist'? It's a real big step to be completely responsible for your own happiness. Assume that responsibility.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
