“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”
Carl Jung
Somehow, somehow. In this dark room that welcomes no other visitors, I have felt the presence of others. You say that you are a stranger because we have never met, I say that most people I have met are the strangers. You are more real than anything my eyes can see.
I was not expecting so much kindness and love when posting No Title. I was not expecting much more than a wayward glance. It seems that I underestimated everything. To hear that my words touch - that my battle is not fought alone – that you have stood where I stand and will provide a tiny light. I cannot express what the outpouring of each and every comment and message sent to me has meant.
Tears are still finding their way down my cheeks as I read your words.
And yet.
You have found your way in.
I am truly, truly moved and changed by this.
I carry on, as I have before. As much as I don’t want to, and as little hope that I have, I carry on.
Some may think I am too sentimental; that this all means too much to me. I say: when you find fewer and fewer reasons to keep going, a kind word can mean everything.
Somehow, somehow. In this room that welcomes no other visitors, you wrote the most beautiful words I have ever read – and you gave me a light.
Thank you.
You’re perfectly welcome
I wouldn’t mind the dark room, as long as there is someone else brooding at my side
Yeah … would be much nicer with someone else there
“Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all yellow.”

Two days ago I finished reading The Undiscovered Self (Mr Jung). If you’ve not yet read it, it’ll be worth your while. The single best non-fiction book I’ve read. Hope you’re feeling slightly less alone
How have I not read that yet?? I once was completely obsessed with studying everything he wrote. Thank you, I shall go find it!!

1/3 of the world depends on this little guy doing nothing more than feeding himself. Even the smallest things are significant.
At least you know that there are other people who care for you. There is always comfort in a thought like that.
Oh yeah, tons of comfort
Funny thing, this Internet business…you’re always going to run into others online who will always know exactly how you feel. And you won’t feel so alone after all.
So true
Chin up, Chuck!
Your background is freakin sick! I want to see that movie so bad!
Maleficent used to scare the crap out of me when I was like 5
