Some are intelligent and sensitive enough to know that this life is a bad deal. The rest will cling like rats to a sinking ship and tell each other how wonderful everything is.

john miller I'm intelligent and sensitive, and things were rough enough that I spent about 25 years with suicidal thoughts or ideations... im genuinely surprised I survived, really. I'm glad I did though because my life is now like a dream come true for me. It's been a lot of hard work and some very good luck and I'm very grateful. I wish the same for you; hang in there.
