We're listening.

there are evolutionary hominoids who do their best to live lives of compassion to self and others; and their are devolutionary monkeys who do not listen to their own inner voices or the voices of others.

REM

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
If you think you've had too much
Of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't throw your hand, oh no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, you're not alone

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much
Of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts, sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes

So hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts
No, no, no, no, no, you're not alone

Is pretend my fairy God mother, father, person? has given me 3 wishes. I let that focus break it down to what's essential. They never come true but at least it points you in a direction away from grief

It can often feel that way. I’m sorry that you don’t have anyone to confide in when you’re feeling so sad and full of despair. The REM song is exactly right I think that at some point most of have those times when we just feel like we can’t go on. We are here and even though you can’t see us, people do care.

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

Charles Bukowski

Everyone else wants to give up too and not everyone wants to be reminded of that. We all just go on knowing everything is going to get worse but hoping that this one thing is actually true; it"s always the darkest before the light comes out again. As much as I want to give up, I'm still going to endure even if it kills me.
