Open [silly] confession: I've been obsessed with this one country song "If I Die Young" - The Band Perry. I hate country. But I love this song. I've listened to it like 10 times today.
I can't listen to this song because it was played at a young cousin's funeral
i've thought about this exact same scenario in my head numerous times. Kinda similar to wondering who would show up to your funeral, which I know everyone has thought about. But I'll be on the freeway and just kinda think to myself "I wonder who would care if I ran straight into that wall at 75mph"
On my 8th birthday, as we are in the car on the way to my Grandmother's house to celebrate my eightness, my Mother turned to me and calmly explained that every time we drove to Grandma's (which we did every Sunday) she fantasized about driving us into the bridge abutments of overpasses SO IT WOULD JUST STOP.

So yeah, other people have those thoughts.
its comforting to know other people think some of the same morbid thoughts, but it sucks that your mother would tell you that as an 8 year old. I feel like that could be a bit damaging.

I used to have a big cocaine problem, and been clean for the past 2 years. I've recently been having vivid, realistic dreams where im seeking it out, buying it, and snorting it over and over. I wake up and have to fight myself to not re-live my dream in real life. I've been successful, but I struggle every damn day.
sort of self confession to this: I was a regular user for 2 years. Have not touched it in 16 years and still at times dream about it. I do not feel the fight when I wake up anymore but it is still part of my life.
"I think I'm finally getting used to it - but I don't understand when people anywhere call me cute or attractive. If I were, wouldn't someone would have wanted to date me/spend time with me over the last 5 years of being absolutely single? My heart knows I should just accept it as a compliment, but in the same breath, internally I'm just shaking my head. There must be something much uglier inside me that every lady can sense."

Addiction sucks. It really is one of those things that will never go away, and everyone suffers from it in some form or another at some point in their life. I have a friend who was a regular user for a few years, and watching her struggle with it was heart breaking at times. She is mostly clean, although she has relapsed a couple of times in the past 7 years. That is so awesome that you've stayed away from it for so long, that takes a lot of will power and dedication! CONGRATS LUVA!!!

Whoever wrote this, it is awesome to get affirmation from others, but it all comes down to is how you feel. Don't let your own self doubt hinder you from opening yourself up to others. I think that hearing compliments is hugely discomforting and awkward most of the time, but like you said, just accept it as a compliment. You're beautiful, inside and out. And one day you'll find someone who sees it, and more importantly, appreciates it. <3 :hugs:
I've never owned a gun. I've never owned a gun because I think easy access to them contributes to acts of violence towards other people. I've never owned a gun because I think it could keep my loved one's safe. I've never owned a gun because I'm worried I'd use it on myself.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

This guy needs to lower his standards. Alcohol helps.

This makes me sad. Especially since I've been there. I have struggled (do struggle) with depression and thoughts of suicide. I have attempted twice. It helps to talk about it and not let the thoughts and emotions that come with it build up. Try talking to a close friend or family member. And if you think you can't I encourage you to seek out a therapist. They're paid to listen to our problems and they are actually amazingly helpful. (Been there, done that, I know. I loved Dr. Peter. He may have saved my life.) If you don't want to do that you can always reach out to me or I'm sure mostly anybody here.

Last fall I got a girl pregnant. We decided to have an abortion. She was able to schedule a last second appointment. I live a few hours away so wasn't able to bring her to the clinic. I came to her apartment that night to take care of her and we ended up having unprotected sex. I think it was more out of a need for comfort than anything sexual. We still sleep together and the abortion gets brought up every now and then but only as a matter-of-fact sort of thing. No one in my life knows about it except for her. I'm okay with it and think she is too but am too afraid to ask.

This confession may be old, since it's from the email account that was just recently re accessed but still,
Abortion is one of things that you can't look back on. What's done is done. The fact that you were there for her the night of is more than some people can say. If you're ok with it then there is really no need to keep bringing it up. Don't be hard on yourself about it and if she wasn't ok with it, she wouldn't keep being around you. So I'm sure she has no regrets either.
“For us, Elliott is one of the great pillars to the kind of music we try to contribute to,” Rilo Kiley singer/guitarist Blake Sennet said backstage. “And for a moment we felt like one of the pillars had fallen, but later you realize the pillar is his music, and that’s what he left behind. Ultimately, he tried to make his misery into a positive thing.”
“The good thing about his songs is they’re so well made, they’re so crafted and meticulous, they can weather even the most feeble rendition,” Beck said.
“His music is so incredible on so many levels, a lot of the musicians playing here tonight have commented on how difficult it is to learn it,” said Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis, who stunned the capacity crowd with an a cappella rendition of “I Didn’t Understand” from 1998’s XO. “He was such an amazing guitar player and incredible lyricist and beautiful voice. For this generation of songwriters, he was incredibly important and timeless.”

It's just one of those things. There's no reason I've never listened to him. I've heard so many good things about him. I've heard musicians that I like talk about him and write songs about him. Every time I've seen him mentioned on the board I've thought about making that post. But I've still never listened. I'll change that soon.
This one got to me
