The #1 Thing I Want to Do Before 32

Understand why this world is so hard and how to get through it with as little pain as possible. Do we make it that way, or is it naturally our cross to bear as part of the human race? 

My life could not be more upside down right now and there are moments I wonder if I'm going to make it. I know I will, and everybody has been there, but right now--as in this minute--it just seems so unbearable--committing myself seems like a really good option. I could get used to bad food if it offers me a little sanity in the end.

I suppose I was due. Not that I have lived a super charmed life, but things have always seemed to work out. Believe it or not, I'm an optimist. Unfortunately it's because of this that I am in the situation I am now. 

I'm not ready to talk to about it, and don't know that I will be for some time. But I needed to do something, and for some reason talking to the internet seemed like the best damn option. I suppose because it's always there for me, doesn't talk back, and has never taken advantage of me (that PayPal scam doesn't count, I figured it out).

I don't even feel like a glass of wine. That tells me something. I did smoke a cig, and it just made me want to vomit.

Life is really, really hard sometimes. REALLY! It s those REALLY hard times that test your spirit, patience, sanity and will. I know you will oass Courtney. You are strong and your strength wll get you through whatever is going on. I was in a really bad place almost a year and a half ago and I survived...barely. Talking to the Internet saved me, still does.
