Do people actually enjoy life? I've known, superficially, people that appear happy, but I have a suspicion it's all an elaborate act. Life's mundane, and boring. It's all the fucking same. Go anywhere on the planet, the people are all the same, doing all the same things, in slight variations.

Nature's an unimaginative joke. Clones of clones with variations. Much wow. Much spiraturality. Those giant rocks changed my life. That whale spoke to me personally. That tree healed me. Are people fucking serious? Are people so cognitively inept that being reminded that there's things outside themselves, alive or not, is a life affirming act?

I just want to disappear. The older I get the more dissapointed I become. There's nothing here that gives any sense of joy. Medication doesn't work. Therapies don't work. Self-aware life is hell. If anyone's happy or content their self-awareness must be sufficiently limited. Blah, blah, blah. Just rambling. I hate this. People who have children are the worst.

Sorry you're feeling down. I'm actually happy, not just acting.

I live a 2 minute walk to a beach. I like my job where I'm out and about all day, not in an office.

I have a GF and a great group of friends. Most of them I've known for about 40 years. We still hang out. We actually had a crew of 8 people go visit Nashville a few weeks ago. First time for most of us. The amount of fun music was fabulous.

Wish I could provide some honest support to you and let you know the world is not completely fake.
