Yeah I guess...and I suppose I have experienced some things in life I have wanted to so life isn't all bad. Usually I am not very optimistic though.

Yes, I have seen a lot of people go down, and from a lot less than what I have endured.
Of course I can never know how each person interprets their own issues.

I want to be a thriver, not a survivor.

Survival sucks as an everyday state of being.

I'm not a survivor, I'm a fighter. To be a survivor it has to be over ...

I agree to disagree. In America "just being here" is not nearly enough. You can't cut it on just being here: you face extreme economic and social hardships and it's very, very difficult to take. We're just a cog and a statistic in human evolution the way I see it. I don't want to be any kind of statistic - it's not enjoyable and it's definitely not what I envisioned when I was a young kid.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
