I wish someone could just tell me what to do with myself and my life, because I don't seem to be able to achieve anything on my own. I feel stuck, mired, like I've made so many mistakes that its not worth even trying to ever do anything again, because it will just be another spectacular failure. I just want to hide for the rest of my life. I've

Well, I'm still here, sweets. I've not been well, life's been a bit rough lately (seems like it's been forever, actually) but I'm still here. Plodding on. *hugs you* I know I can't do anything for you, either, but hope that you know I'm here anyway.

I know, sweetie; you always pop up when I need you, and I get that rough times seem to be going on way longer than they need to. And I know you're here. I wish we could all help each other.

I agree very much with that last bit. People say they care, they're your friend, etc, and then just toddle off to tumblr or something and never talk to you again. Why bother in the first place?

I don't pray, but I'm here and I'm on your side. <3

Thanks, Mel <3 I'm on your side too, and that's exactly it. I like tumblr - I love it, actually, wouldn't have 3500+ posts on it if I didn't, but its not a substitute for lj, or IM or anything like that. I was thinking of a few specific folks here, tbh, and they're gonna be gone from my flist cause yeah, don't be here if you don't want to be.

*hugs*

I'm around, though you've probably seen that in my incessant posting as of late. I know there isn't much (if anything) that I can do for you, but I'm available if you need someone to talk to. You know my door is ALWAYS open to you, love. <3 Always. That's not a platitude, that's just honest. I <3 you, awesome lady.

[zukosphoenix]

You do everything just by being you, by texting, all that good stuff, and I really appreciate and adore you. I love you too!

[klokwatcher]

*hugs* Glad I can help now and then. You are the best. Never forget that, ok? <3

I tried to respond to this earlier on my phone. Sometimes I really hate phones. Touch the wrong thing and you lose everything you just wrote. Anyway, what I said was that despite being a fairly optimistic person, I absolutely feel the same way quite often. I think we have to remember that we aren't alone, and that we really can't make mistakes because there isn't any such thing. Obviously some things cause us more pain than other things, and we all want to avoid pain, but as I have often said, we forget that when we look around us and see people who have it all together and we think we are the only one trying and failing and making wrong choices and going down wrong roads, we are really only seeing people who are looking at us and thinking the exact same thing.There is no magical moment when a decision or action will suddenly put us on the path to true and endless bliss, either. This is our life, and in some ways that is a discouraging thought, but in others it is very freeing. It makes me think, to heck with it, if I can't ever do

I hate to see you depressed. I wish I could give you some advice how to make life miraculously easy, free, cool and happy. But is there such a thing? Guess not. And I cannot tell you how to live your life anyway. Nobody should tell other people how to live their lives. Personally, I try to do the best with what I have, without having too much (or any) ambition. But that doesn't mean it's a solution for anyone else. Sorry, I can't be of any help.
