Despair is ...Of course, I've thought about it. Despair is non-discriminatory. Once I was feeling beyond hopeless and I received a book in the mail from my daughter for no reason (this has never happened before). The title was "No One Belongs Here More Than You" by Miranda July. When I opened the package, it shocked me. I have no doubt that it was a message from God, for sure. The book is bright yellow. <br /><br />You are a strong, amazing woman, Jos.

I never actually made a plan, but when I was young I thought about it many times. As I have matured I never consider it except as something I may do if I was ever really sick.xoxoAnnie Coehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980814479525038344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045558338047530867.post-88745744618976002972010-12-20T12:22:04.831+00:002010-12-20T12:22:04.831+00:00It was last Sunday I think.

My friend said, "Annie, you always want the easy way out." Well...I don't know about that. Seems to me I always pick the harder road. But I wouldn't want to be called a coward. And it seems cowardly and incredibly cruel to those left behind. But a week a go Sunday...that was close.<br /><br />I'll talk you down from the ledge if ever you need it. You'll do the same for me.

Self loathing and the desire to end our own suffering seem to be a natural and normal part of the suffering we experience here. Who knew? Good observation. I myself have experienced it many times.Tonjia Rolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06426298295977858377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045558338047530867.post-25809186358627151432010-12-20T09:18:30.395+00:002010-12-20T09:18:30.395+00:00"more as a way of re-assuring myself that the..."more as a way of re-assuring myself that there is always a choice however dreadful things might seem at the time..."<br /><br />Yes indeed, and if we actualize the plan, the freedom to hoard on options will not be there anymore. ;)) We might be in the same situation, but my option is to write poems so I could be reminded of how my 'thought processes' used to be at some point in my dragging life. :) Love your writing style, by the way.Emeniano A Somoza Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271204092780723440noreply@blogger.com
