Not like, casual "Hi, how are you?" but seriously, how are you? Are you sleeping okay, is everything in your personal life going all right? And if not, can Internet strangers do anything to help?

That "No" buttons looks sexier every night.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I feel that, just gotta keep on keeping on though. Even if today sucks, tomorrow could be better, and you can only hit the no button once.

It's a real sexy no button though.

From my experience life is a ball rolling down a hill. It never gets higher than the day before and if it hits the bottom you die.

Your birth decides the starting height and your effort decides the slope.

I started somewhere in the lower middle and put zero effort into life. Now I'm not even half way past others but I'm already near the bottom.

Let's say I'm not exactly expecting a natural end to my life at this stage.

Life is definitely not a hill, it's a rollercoaster. And there is no bottom. If you think you can't take it anymore, there's always a way to take more. If your bottom gets too deep, it does get harder to climb back up though. It might take a couple tries before you're all the way back tot he top. That's just my viewpoint though. You might not see it that way. And if you can't see the foothold, than you can't climb them. Maybe a change of perspective can help. Getting out there and meeting people can help with that. Volunteering is also a good one. A volunteer job doesn't pay in money, but it pays in other ways, like perspective, experience, happiness, purpose, knowledge, socials contacts, things that are good for the soul.
