Diagnosis

Life is a long, irritating, painful slog. The only things that seem to make it worthwhile are virtually impossible to obtain or achieve. Under these circumstances, I cannot condemn anyone for taking their own life; indeed, there are times when I think of suicide as one of the only really rational actions of which a human being is capable.

  1. some things that make life worthwhile for me (an incomplete list):
    --good food
    --good art
    --really long walks at night
    --some sunrises. admittedly not all of 'em.
    --the ocean and the stars, for similar reasons
    --chocolate
    --epiphanies
    --community
    --communion with strangers (albeit rare)
    --finding out new things about people i thought i knew really well already
    --finding out new things about myself
    --the magical resilience of plants and people
    --your friendship
