Now you know what? I have always taken up for you when people were giving you a hard time and being hateful to you in the past. But with this one I want to slap you.

You never know what will get through to a person. Sometimes it IS words that gives someone that aha moment and turns things around. Sometimes it might be a punch in the mouth.

Dude...




I have consciously avoided replying to you, referring to you, literally anything to feed your warped little sense of validation.
You want to call me out by name? Then here you go.


This is the last post I will ever reply to you,
The last time I will speak your cursed name,
This is the last time I acknowledge your existence.


And I’m sure you are expecting some verbose, virulent, invective laced tirade about how you are a greasy, creepy, weepy, soul-sucking, smile-slaying, caustic, spastic fantastically awful piece of filth and literally the worst poster to ever log in to this awful place.


But I have none of that for you.
I only have a sick sense of pity that the utter spite others have for you is what keeps you going.

You can’t be killed, you can’t be ridiculed, shamed, browbeaten or harangued into being anything other than abjectly, absolutely, awful.

Like a Plague you feed off the invective spewed at you with every awful post. We feed your twisted lust for attention every time we acknowledge that you even exist.

And so, from now on. You don’t.

fie and damn ye!

I shun thee.

Mindful meditation could be helpful, when practiced regularly. There is a site/app called Headspace.com that can teach the whys and hows of mindful meditation. Aspects of the app are free, but you can opt to subscribe (no pressure). I use it daily (or try to). I did eventually subscribe. No regrets there. If someone has issues with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, focus, and more, I can say this is a really great place to start getting things back into perspective.

Poems won't help.
Porn will temporarily.

so why did you start a thread for this? you could have just typed it as a response in his thread, where people who were interested could talk about it. but doing it this way just makes you look like you're taking a shot at him.
I try to not be a dick to you, but honestly, this makes you look petty


georgia, don't worry about being a dick to me, call me out when you think I need to be called out.

You are correct, I could have just posted in that thread and thinking about it now it would probably have been the best way to approach it, but I thought this was a separate subject.. But it would have made more sense to respond in the thread.

F$&k no. The only thing that helps depression is doing whatever Depression tells you not to.

completely agree. That poem was like depression in a way, long and never ending. Just kidding but no poem can pull you out of a deep depression.

Yes because... Well, I am not passive aggressive. It would be bitch like for me to know what I was doing, but worded things in away I could argue it wasn't directed to you.

With that said, it isn't all about you. There is some general terms in there. I really want to know if there are people who fight or have fought depression in which reading a poem or having words make them feel better. As I mentioned, in my experience it doesn't and for someone to assume it would would piss me off when I struggled with it.

So there is some curiosity as well.

To Georgia, the day I need to try with words is the day the Alzheimer’s has progressed too far. Do you think I sit there with a thesaurus or something?

quote:

were your intentions pure


I stumbled across the poem purely by accident the other night. The spoken word video. Almost turned it off until I heard a bit of wordplay that drew me in, “they’ve come to see the world from the comfort of a screen”

And so I listened to it, in its entirety, and it was a work of art. It’s stuck with me for days now. It’s absolute quality stuff, from some no name bloke in Ireland, but to me it was more worth sharing than some forgettable instawhore or a no name rapper.

And I know, for a fact, that some posters on here struggle with depression. That many have felt the awful reverberations of suicide. And the universe told me, someone needs to read/hear this. And so a simple sharing late at night, in a thread that will soon be buried and forgotten, was just my little way of trying to spread a little something good.

It wasn’t my own work and i never claimed it was. I just thought someone here might read it and take a little something from it.

And when it was buried on the second page and all but forgotten...well...you know.

I had no intentions, pure or not. Just another bottle cast into this endless sea of threads

Seriously, I am not trying to be a dick. If I am guilty of anything it's being too direct. That's just my personality. I am a love or hate type guy. With that said....

This is my point. You mean well and its sincere, but for someone truly fighting depression, it might be looked at as more of an insult than anything. As if you think that will make all of their troubles go away.

Look, I am just being honest. Because you mean well I can see how you would be insulted or think me telling you this is being a dick. I can see how it comes off that way, but just like you felt that you needed to post it, I felt like I should tell you what I did.

nope. I think you spit extraneous drivel simply for the sake of reading your own thoughts and making yourself feel superior as if somehow the use of all those extra words and complete disdain for concise speech patterns makes you special. Truly special people don't have to try to make people notice them. You're fairly intelligent, but your confidence and forced bravado need some work.
