4/22-27

I feel like I’m fighting a losing a battle.  It feels so futile.

I’m fighting against myself and I cannot win.

I have reached a point where it doesn’t matter whether I succeed or fail.  I will still survive a mundane existence where I have been alive.

Nothing left to look forward to.

Every moment I lose more hope.  And I don’t have anyone to turn to.

Everyone else has their own life or is too far away or is too depressed themselves.

How quickly will I be forgotten?

I have seen the past, the present, and the future and it scares me.  50% chance of dying of cancer or heart disease.  “Hen-pecked” as my brother says if I ever find anyone.  My brother thinks it’s going to be a Jewish girl.  I tell him no, it doesn’t have to be, it’s built into my personality.

BTW.  No one ever bothered to answer my question the first time I asked it, so I’ll ask it again.  Can people really change?

I look at other people’s lives and see how they’re where they want to be.  I will never be where I want to be.

Sometimes I think I’m working against myself. That I’m my own worst enemy.  But what else is new?

I’m at the point I look forward to meetings for the social interaction.  I am in need of major help.  But no one has the free time  like I do.  I feel so far behind in “social maturity”.  I know I will never catch up.  It means I’m behind on living my life.

Today, I didn’t start playing Quake as soon as I came home.

To attempt an answer on your question... I think people really can change. It's in the realm of possibility. I just don't think enacting a conscious change is easy by any stretch of the imagination.

When we say to ourselves, "I really need to change [fill in the blank]," what we're really hoping for is that the [blank] will change without requiring our help: passive change as opposed to active change.

Yes, I think people can change. But only very slowly, over long periods of time. Like a glacier.

Are you coming to the wedding? There'll be tons of social interaction there...
