It is a scary place. Yet, we can come back from anything. Scratching and clawing, I made my way back. It is truly worth the work. One of my friends did not come back. He had such pain. I did not understand the situation until a year later, I more fully understood his pain and true sorrow. I will always think of him and how if he had been born five years later, he would have the potential to be one of the top graphic designers in the world. In the end, I realize the pain is very real, but there is a path to life and love. One day at a time. I had my brush with the edge and came back. It is a scary place.

I kept waiting for it's kooky theme and characters to deliver a message or be entertaining; I saw it's message, what was intended to be entertaining, but it did nothing at all for me. I can think of more depressing films, but not right now and not after reading what you wrote. Tad concerned, but, I give you tons of credit as you explore your feelings and you're honest, so, I'll not be so concerned but still... I can say this, I had issues in the past, had thoughts of everything's gone, I've screwed up, and I'm thankful and grateful beyond belief I didn't and that period is over. Long over. A lesson, an experience. Gratitude, is what keeps us in check; focus, gives us our mental and emotional environment ; you literally have to push your thoughts and your heart to what you want in return, by being grateful for what is good. The greatest thief of human happiness and abundance is ungratefulness. Any lack in our lives is simply the evidence of a lack of gratitude. If you focus on lack you are not being grateful, and that will bring more lack into your life. Sounds incredibly hokey when you're down, but the simple state of radiating gratitude summons what you want to you. It's painful to doubt and fear after hearing you speak on this subject and end with a point of understanding those who want to end their life, especially during the holiday silly season, so, please just know many are here for you and look forward to you focusing on what makes you content, makes you happy, Certain things and feelings are not only unfullfilling, but down right dangerous. I can't tell if I am worried and saying this, and will offend you ,but, just the same, Take care with inputs and stimuli, if you're hovering over some emotions you'd rather not, then what you choose for input will exacerbate or distance you from it, so...choose wisely. I am also giving this unasked for advice to myself just the same. Royal T’s for me, left me hollow, and I felt it was in essense, aimless.
