Happiness, loneliness, and your life choices.

[fufu ÷]

Due to some unfortunate events in my life and the life of others around me, I feel the need to say this to the people here - many of whom could benefit from a minor (read major) change in attitude.

A lot has been made of depression and suicide lately, due to a certain celebrity passing. Most people made a minor fuss, said RIP and then a day later were over it. However when you wake up to the news that someone close to you - a close friend of mine for many, many years - tries to end their life, it puts a lot of things into perspective.

You are responsible for other people. Your words and actions carry weight not just for you, but for everyone you interact with. We are all interconnected, and we are all responsible for making life better. I'm not saying a crude joke here and an occasional argument there is a terrible thing, but a deep seated resentment, a long running dislike or even abusing someone else's life choices really do have an impact.

A lot of people seem to try and make themselves feel better by belittling others - especially in this community. Sadly, all you're doing is making two lives less worthwhile; your own and the person you abuse. This fandom breeds insecurities and misery. You can change that. Being nice isn't hard. Being friendly isn't hard. Not taking yourself too seriously isn't hard. I'm not always the nicest, but I do try with people who extend it back. Sometimes my jokes are misinterpreted and to those who may feel I dislike them, that isn't the case. It''s not always a case of 'Treat people well and they'll treat you well', but the nicer you are to others, the better you will feel about you being you.

Give people a chance. Give them the time of day. Life can kick us all in the dick, or punt us in the cunt sometimes, and it's important to know that if we need it, there's someone there for us. Don't end up feeling alone and isolated. Just share a positivity with others, and feel it in return. You don't have to be the best of friends, but just don't let people feel alone, even when surrounded by others. Life is hard enough, even with good friends.

Be positive, with yourself, and with others.

As I said on SDH.................

 

Negativity has become a cornerstone for society these days along with money & it's sad too, but seeing things like this gives hope that there is still some kind of humanity out there & I agree completely with all you have said here. Respect.
