how can I describe my life right now in words/ I dont think I accurately can. but this is my attempt to in order to place more meaning and importance on my own thoughts. I cant decide if i am learning important things or not. i am. Important things have happened in my life. i dont love you but you are nice to heal and be around. I dont know how to be around you, or how to make you laugh. I know how to be affectionate towards you. I know how to debate you. I think we are two directions pointed away from each other. I wish for two brothers. Two brothers like Jeff, to be there for me, to be wacky and hilarious and people i like myself around. People to go skinny dipping with and take drugs and have a blast at the exploritorium. also brothers to have insightful conversations with, old deep connections with, to grow with and experience with.

My life has been confusing. My mom says i am in between great transition, and I know its true. I cant help but cry all the time, im so incredibly depressed, my passions are being held back, they come and go. My mom says my fear of failure is holding me back. I think she's right. I am at the beginning of a series of very hard classes. physics,chemistry(mostly),biology, .Im incredibly excited and yet completely uninterested. My former therapist tells me I should take antidepressants. My mom said I should talk to her hypnotherapist who is more holistic. I resent my father a lot. He's obsessed with the stock market. When he goes to the grocery store he comes back with paper plates and proctor & gamble deodorant and TRIES TO HIDE IT FROM ME. He goes around my fucking back. I would prefer if he just outright told me that he doesnt give a fuck about animals or he envronment.

I find I have a very difficult time sleeping at night. It takes me about 3 hours or more to fall asleep every night. I wake up early in the morning and cant fall asleep again. Sometimes I wake up at night and start crying caused by thoughts of our current political climate, (watch loose change 2nd edition and Why We Fight),social climate, meat/ diary industry(factory farming)& animal based clothing industries, and most of all Industrialization in general. Industrialized nations fat with imported "goods" stripped from impoverished lands(most often made poorer by this process) and shipped millions of miles to be processed and packaged, and then shipped thousands of miles to be consumed by hairless bipedal primates. Mcdonlalds signs and cement rivers everywhere. Fast pieces of metal exhaling fumes for plants and pedestrians to breathe. every 10 minutes a new oil refinery appears where dense biodiversity once existed.

Anthropocentrism pissing on every fucking corner of the earth.

I resent everyone around me. I dont know exactly why. perhaps because they dont know. Or rather they know, but they dont seem to particularly care .
we are all oblivious selfish sponges, sucking and sucking on sweet deceptive convenience. Or at least the industrialized nations...

I either want to kill myself, or kill everyone around me

It's hard to comment on stuff like this; I should know because I've been writing this kind of entry since I came to college. Of course I have my own (presumably mostly more ego-centric) reasons for depression and freaking out, but a lot of it stems from "Oh fuck, how do I deal with all these things that I care about; how do I make my life work with them and how do I make them work with my life... without undoing everything and making NONE of it possible." I mean, I don't know if that's what you're going through. But it sounds similar.

Then again, I hardly know you! Which is funny. Maybe.

I had a conversation with a friend about an hour ago about how to make caring cool. We're working on a method.

hah, I would like to hear updates on this method. Even though I think already the mainstream is beginning deemed it hip to "care" and "take action"
Oh like chevron, theyve ALWAYS been such a responsible steward for the environment

yeah, its hard to pull all my expectations away from the situations and people in my life, but I do. I suppose if I didnt I wouldnt have any friends and my dad would kick me out of the house. Such is life.

oh no oh no this is not good.

you cant let knowledge make you depressed. if everyone allowed that to happen wed have no deep ecologists left. they'd all suicide themselves!

its important to stay positive dude. theres so many wonderful things happening, its very counterproductive to your life and your happiness to only read the bad news.

im not anti-hate. im pro-love.

try not to respond negatively to any situation. make positive changes. focus on your desires. any energy focused on the things you hate will only be more energy put into those things. does that make sense? the universe is just lots of energy moving about. its all just happening. were all just happening. focus energy on good and good will come. trust me. this just how the universe is. i would love to talk to you about this in depth sometime. id love to see you sometime its been some long while.

yeah I would really like to hang out. I was actually thinking the other day about how we used to be so close in high school and those movies "cat soup" and "rabbits".

I honestly try not to hate, but I cant honestly say that that entry was not filled with hate. I completely agree with your words-look for the good and find the good-

I would really like to hear your view on the essence of the universe because im struggling with mine. Im VERY interested in holistic and noetic sciences(it sounds like thats what you were coming from)

Im on spring break right now so I have some free time , If you have free time you can call me 328-3012

I wish I knew what to say to you, but I really don't. But I really really really want to say something that will help, that will make you stop thinking about yourself (and others) in that way. I think I agree with everything Ryan said.

If you're interested, I would love to hang out with you sometime. I don't know. Maybe I'm not as wacky and hilarious or as insightful and deep as you've explained, but I feel like we've grown apart and I don't want that to happen. I know I'm veering off topic, but I don't know how to respond to something like this in a comment without sounding fake or hypocritical or unconcerned. I don't know. Just putting that out there.

I love you Sheila. I really do.
