Congrats on the book.

ya that feeling is despairing. like the last ray of light extinguished and the doors of the shadow relm take a duce on you. i restore cars here an there i build sterio systems and yet at the end of the day sitting in my dark apartment i ask my self was today really worth it ?


But from an existential standpoint, one can ask if any of this is really worth it, in the end, regardless....?

I try not to spend too much time on that direction of thinking -- for me, it's more about the creative impulse. I like the idea of having an outlet. If other people enjoy what I do, that's just a bonus.

From a more human standpoint, I still think it would be nice to have someone to share it with. Someone I could bounce ideas off of, someone who had enough creativity of her own to offer me some constructive advice and opinions, and I could do the same for her.

I had someone like that for awhile, and she was amazing. But I just don't think there's anyone else like that out there.



LIfe is worth it. If what you creates affects even one person in a positive way - it is worth it. Sometimes it is hard to see if anything is happening, but have faith. I'm a firm believer in "what you put out there, you will get back threefold." Being a published author is no mean feat! And to have so many is outstanding!!! I've just finished writing a play, and I"m telling everyone i know to come and see it - you need to be your own avocate, because no one else will. It's the same for matters of the heart. Creativity and joy.

What someone else said earlier about you maybe considering moving to another location that suits you better seems like a possibility, too. You need to be your own agent of change.

flowers Congratulations on your book!!!

I understand my last relationship ended with no reason one minute we were okay he said he understood where i was coming from ( we had been dating but he wasn't spending any time with me or calling me at all .This had been going on for about a month ,then we did get to spend time but he made sure it short and said it wasn't going to stay that way then said he would work on spending on spending more time instead he just never called me back or answered a text ) this hurt me because i was honest didn't demand anything just asked him about making sure he time or me once a week .Let him know i understood his schedule and was willing to see him when he time but none this meant anything .He just ignored me no explanation .It left me hurt angry because i tried be understanding caring and showed my willingness to compromise.
