I thought I was going to delete this thing, but it serves as an outlet for a lot of feelings (usually feelings of which I want to rid myself). It has also caused a lot of trouble because some of the things I post can be taken in ways other than I intended them...and in ways I did intend them. But, in reality, the things I post are real and the

I think we should have a youth exodus to Europe. :)

I agree. Peasantry and semi-socialism in a village-like setting. Can you dig it?

get a graduate degree or become an alcoholic. or both. this describes the mindset of every single person i know right now. everything you said is pretty much true.

I think I'd almost rather become an alcoholic that get a graduate degree.

I always wanted to tell you to take care of yourself better, Jon, but it didn't really seem like any of my business. It always seemed strange someone as understanding and aware of things as you are could handle drinking and partying so much. You're an enigma of a man. Maybe it's because you're half Asian, which is like saying you're half enigma anyways. Ha, I'm kidding. Take care of yourself.

depression

[mynameisandey]

What I have learned is that depression is usually our own faults, and then slightly others. After all my experiences I have learned that depression is nothing but an inefficiant method of processing our emotions. We are raised in a world that constantly tries to tell us how to govern ourselves. Depending on who we are these methods may or may not work for us. Depression is what happens when your body reaches out for a way to process its emotional stimuli and can't seem to find a way to do it...overload if you will. Does it ever feel like overload

Thank you, Andey. You are right about most of the things to which you responded in my post, and I even admitted their fault in the end. It does take pure will power and acceptance for one to get out of crap one usually puts oneself in. It feels like an overload sometimes. Hurt piling up on hurt and guilt, etc.

I would like to talk to you more outside of this thing. I consider you my brother and a very good friend.

"All glory comes from daring to begin".... "skin of a rhino, heart of a dove" ...."I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul" ...." Excuses rob you of power and induce apathy"...."The foundation of anyone's ability to COPE successfully is high self esteem"..."a person defines and redefines who they are by the choices they make, minute to minute"... I have loads of these:) Lyndsie is right, times have worsened and people have become more despondent and people are more susceptible to depression.. but Andey is also right, our ability to be happy and to survive comes from within. We must create a safe haven for ourselves within our own minds to escape the torment of what is surrounding us. You ALWAYS have the power to choose.
