I am skeptical that I even exist.

It is often the shortest/simplest looking question that are the hardest to answer.

Although it is easy for me to say yes to this poll, to say how much exactly is less easy. I am accepted various things a bout how I am and even though most people wouldn't like it I'm ok with it. (Though I suppose that brings up a whole host of other issues, but meh to those). Suppose thats a bit outside of the poll though so I'll shut up.

Thank God I have the best musical taste ever...it makes it easier for me to live with myself.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me

If enough bad things happen to you what's the point?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'm not going to turn this into a religous thread but I think that God exists and has a plan for each of our lives, (No matter how sucky you've made yours)

If I could go back in time, I would too, except maybe not stab myself. At least not in vital places, maybe the arm or leg once or twice. But I'd definitely give myself a good beating, a concussion at least.

What's the point of that, + should I consider taking part in such activities at my current age?

I wouldn't want to go back in time to beat myself at all! That would hurt, and if it was severe enough I could possibly damage myself beyond repair, thus making anything that I had already considered bad WORSE! And I generally don't hate myself.

Edit: I would, however, tell myself where I could change some things to make myself happier.

The New Year's reflection of myself and others caused me to think of this as a poll, and I hope that, in the spirit of breaking with the past, we can all share and then move forward with our lives into the glorious new day.

Personally, I can't imagine not hating myself at least a little bit. But, as I have told you guys before, I am emo and lame.

/wrists

So PA, are you emo and lame too? And will you make me regret making this thread?

Attempting to disentangle the irony from some of Henry's posts sometimes leaves very little thread remaining. Mr P is clearly neither emo or lame (but an old head on very young shoulders that he needs to learn to shrug occasionally)

Again, I'm guessing here but I suspect that the post is designed to reveal any narcissistic element in the replies i.e. would what is perceived as an inter generational cliche (those bloody Y genners, young people these days pah ! etc) have its source revealed if old farts like myself conceded we have a vestige of self-loathing in our makeup that makes such remarks possible ?

Or, his skin's broken out again...

I didn't listen to others then, why would I listen to me?

Everything between hate and love is mediocrity and indifference.

I still haven't come to terms with the idea that somewhere in the world there is someone who doesn't like me, so I haven't the inclination to worry about whether I like me or not.

What?

Because you're not others, you're you, and if you're like me you're more inclined to listen to you than others. Others don't always know what's best for you, but you, with your current experience being you, probably have a pretty good idea of what you want and what you need by now.
