Hello Hashi: Yes, the Skeezyks' whole existence, at this point, is basically one long dirge on the theme... what went wrong & how did my life become such a train wreck? (In the words of the song: "Margaritaville", however, I'll just mention... "It's my own damn fault...")

Personally I don't believe there is any purpose... no reason to be here at all. We're just here. It is what it is.
No, I can't say that I ever talk to myself in the third person. I mostly find myself telling myself I wish I would just... well... you know... I am most pleased, however, to read that you were able to show yourself this great empathy & compassion. This is to be celebrated!
