Thats not failure. Thats 91 days of success and that sounds like a damned good effort to me :-) And I'm sure there are many more days where those came from :-)
> I find life meaningless. I was even touched by "God", born again, and I still can't get by the meaninglessness.
meaninglessness
emptiness
boredom
a kind of gnawing in your gut type feeling?
i get that...
a bit.what things in life do you find meaningful.
what sorts of things can you take pleasure from?
what sorts of things do you value?those sorts of things might be able to be built on so the feeling isn't so pervasive. maybe...
> It's like I don't give a rip whether people like me anymore.
is it maybe... that it has been a long while since you have felt connected to another human being? lost hope of such a connection?
> Something touched me but I can't define it. I cringe when people talk in a familiar way, like they are pals with God.
maybe you want... some of that?
to feel part of things
and appreciated
and valued?i like you verne. you crack me up. your little escapade over on pc was a riot!!! (though i know i really shouldn't encourage you). and you are pretty honest and straight up which i find admirable. did you enjoy your early christmas? lol.
i wish i could do something to help.
