I started thinking, really hard about the meaning of life. I mean, I'd just had a bout of near-suicidal depression, so I started contemplating things.

I realize the reason I'm terrible with women is because I'm still in love with my ex. Who broke up with me around four years ago, and that the reason I've been desperately trying to find a girlfriend was so that I could finally forget her. This is the cause of most of my emotional damage, but I figured, why stop there...

I have deduced the reason for my existance. And I have worked out a way for others to do the same, like I did. Imagin yourself, staning on a bridge that has no end, in the middle of the ocean, you can pick your weather, I like it stormy. Imagine another figure into this world you've made, I had a soft spot for the evil-looking-guy-in-hooded-cloak myself. And just start asking him questions. If you ask them, and have him answer them fast enough, your brain will compile his answers without you even knowing what they are. After a while, I asked him what the reason for my existance was, and he answered, "To contradict yourself."

I loved his answer. I'm always second guessing myself, and now I know why.

The reason all of this happened was because my friend George's new girlfriend bears a striking resemblence to my ex, and it made me think about her, and thinking about her always makes me depressed.

I loved her with all my being, and when she broke up with me, with some utterly beautiful wording I might add, "We've just grown so close, you've become more of a brother than a boyfriend." Please note that I'm paraphrasing. Anyway, after that, I just forgot how to feel. For a good week or so, I stopped being happy, sad, angry, all of it. I just forgot how. Simple as that. This may also be a reason for my bad memory, my trying so hard to forget her.

Now I just hate myself more...

Re: Sometimes I scare myself.
I've been in love for two years with the same person. First he was my boyfriend, then he was my "boyfriend", and now we're just friends, and I'm terribly sure that he doesn't love me back anymore.
It sucks to realize that love can just stop like that. Because, for me... I've never known the "stop" point of love, because ever since I fell in love with him, that feeling has never gone away. Even if, tons of times I've felt like it has.
I'm telling you this just so you know that you aren't the only one, and that this is proof that the mind can't rule over the heart.
I also wanna tell you something, and I hope you don't get offended. But you can't know the meaning of your existance, not yet. We are so young still - what do we know about the world, aside from our four-wall bedroom, our home, our school and our city? There's so much more to existance than that.
Personally, I've given up trying to figure it all out. That's why we're here, anyway. The answers are given to us only through time and experience. We have to accept we don't know anything. = \

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, I still haven't found a good reason for living, and when I do, then I'll be able to find a good reason for my existance. I was just really depressed when I wrote that entry. I can see where you're coming from though, we can't tell ourselves why we live, we just do.

 

So thanks, actually having people tell me all this depressing stuff I come up with is wrong makes me feel a lot better about myself. This happens way too often, and there just aren't enough people in my life willing to try and snap me out of it.

Well, then it's sure as heck that you're not the only one. I get pretty depressed, and the scariest thing of all is that I actually measure it. It comes like once every two months or so. While I consider myself a pretty centered person, there are days when I just can't handle myself.

So, whenever you feel like snapping out of it, I can help.

Thank you, and likewise. If you ever need to talk, I spend more time online then off after school.

It's nice to find someone to talk to...
