So your off Thursday through Saturday. That's pretty cool. I'm on my 2nd week of 2nd shift. Then days for 2 weeks. Then 3rd for 2 weeks. I'm gonna die before I should.

Yeah, I get three nights per week, which is nice. But I leave for work at 6 and get home around 6. Long nights.

Ugh, hang in there man. I’d be pissed if they switched me back and forth between nights and days.

They compensate very well or I would not be there. They pay 22 grand a year for my medical insurance. Family plan is 90 bux a month. 200 deductible. 3 bonuses a year as high as 9 grand.

That’s nice. I can understand that. Insurance is important.

I don’t have to do what I do. I’m more educated than people two or three promotions ahead of me. But it’s a good workout. And it gives me time to think, get my head straight, read my books and figure out what to do next. Also, money is of very little value to me as long as I have enough to survive.

I was like you, till I had a family. Travel as light as you can for as long as you can. Life moves fast.

Like I did, you too will find the girl bathed in sunshine. The solitude and all its trappings will fade away like shadows at dusk.

Perhaps. But I’ve spent enough time trapped in the past to know that longingly musing about the future can be just as dangerous. If one can’t learn to find contentment in the present, happiness will forever elude them.

Total 180, but I recently saw the newish film The Snowman and Val Kilmer was in it. He was unrecognizable. Throat cancer I'm learning? Shocking. The movie was pretty cool... no pun intended.

Love cares not where you are or how you got there or your plans to get out. Past present future be damned. Being content where you are is the first domino to fall when the queen of hearts shows up bro.

Depression is the great deceiver. It makes you believe you have a deeper understanding of life and emotions. You think that having suffered so much pain you are somehow wiser. It's a lie. You're no more enlightened than the common man. You haven't learned some great truth. If you're lucky, you discover how little you know, and you come to terms with how little you will ever know. Life is chaos. You cannot make sense of chaos. But for whatever reason, man never stops trying to achieve the impossible.

The madness comes from trying to climb back up the hill only to continuously slide right back down. Once it grabs hold, the darkness is near impossible to escape from. It's soul cancer. You can feel it eating you from the inside out.

It comes quite naturally to those of us who are mentally ill. This may surprise you, but not everyone has a default setting of happy thoughts.

Wow...I just came to check in for some light-hearted fun and I stumbled into a Nietzsche Convention.....

(Seriously, I have a friend that suffers from depression and I don't wish it on anyone)

Laughter shines a ray of light into the darkness.

People can’t always understand things they haven’t seen. Just better to smile and nod. I’ve been in the fog for so long, it’s all I know anymore. Wish you well my friend.

Glad to see you. Hope your father is doing well. We’ve been through some similar trials and tribulations. Hope everything is going well for you. If not, feel free to vent it out on here. I’ll keep an eye out for you and make sure to respond. No better way to deplete the poison in your veins than to talk about it. And I know how rough it gets once people feel like they’re not obligated anymore and they feel the need to not pay attention. Unfortunate feeling for sure. Wish you the best TNG.
