It just made me laugh. I think it was apparent you were joking and not soliciting or anything.

As to the main question, like a few others, I never thought I would be alive this long.

There's alot of stuff I think I should be doing or that I wish I was doing, like having a relationship, children, a degree, a satisfying career (rather than just a job), maintaining friendships, not being it complete and total debt, being in shape.

But when I think of where I started, I know I've come a lon-n-n-ng way. I have a job I don't hate, I have my depression under control, I have my own apartment and am taking care of myself (maybe not well, but I'm still alive and not living in a box), I have the confidence to try new things, and I feel more in control of myself and my own destiny than ever before in my life.

I could dwell on the things I'm not, and sometimes I do, but what does that accomplish? I've come to believe over the years that negativity breeds negativity. So I try to stay positive. I don't always succeed of course, but by trying I will succeed more often than if I didn't try at all.

I still have a ways to go before I am the person I want to be, but at least I'm going in the right direction, albeit slowly.
