Really? Then this quote should mean something to you:

"Remember, Red [remenber, soli], hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things."


Don't give up hope. You'll arrive eventually.

Yes, I remember that quote. ^_^ Not sure I've ever agreed with it though.

Well, but I do. Hope's kept me alive for 32 years. There's nothing without hope. *hug*

Since we seem to like some of the same movies, why don't you check out the "cat on a hot tin roof"? Not sure if theres a remake, but im talking about the original (Newman/Taylor). This is my all-time favorite. Something about all those unleashed emotions is strangely comforting.

Hope kept me alive for about 22 years. Now I don't know what's keeping me alive; but it's definitely not hope.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will! =]

22.... sigh.

I was miserable at 22 as well. But I can guarantee you that EVERYTHING in your life is going to change over and over again between here and ten years from now. There'll be happy times. There'll be a year that you'll think back of as the single best year of your life (for me it was 28).
You'll be miserable again, too, but you'll realize that NOTHING - EVER - stays the same. Ten years from now you'll be giving this lecture to someone a decade younger than you :D

Just keep going, because you know what, movie lover? "Who knows what the tide may bring?"

(Can you place it?)
 
Guess I messed that up. Big surprise there.....

Can the guy who's been deeply depressed lately maybe get a little slack from peope? I know I screw up. Sorry.

Well I'm not 22 anymore, that was several years ago. :p So far I'm still waiting for the happy times, and my life basically has remained stagnant, for almost 10 years at least. So I'm afraid it's a little hard for me to become enthused by the pep talks people give out. Thanks for trying though, I appreciate that you care.

Then maybe it's time for YOU to change SOMETHING about your life? Take a plunge :) Do something big and scary. I moved once all the way to the US and back. It was a miserable year (lol! except for Taco Bell :D), but I came back knowing one thing I had to change. And I did, and it was good.
Change something. It's your own duty to yourself.

It's not as though I've made no efforts. I've tried everything I can think of (that is actually feasible). I'm open to new suggestions.

Well, I'm always quick with suggestions, but I'd need a more detailed account of your life. lol Maybe some other time then? ;) Are you on Facebook?

Maybe stop thinking so much?

There's actually a lot of truth in this, at least as far as I am concerned. I usually can't just leave it at feeling something; I have to actually (involuntarily) spend hours thinking about how I'm feeling, thus making it so much worse and blowing things out of proportion. I don't know how to stop myself though. How do you stop yourself from thinking?
 
It hurts though, seeing two people so obviously in love but not being able to get together.
 
I visited a dodgy site, and ended up with virus warnings. This on my new and beautiful Macbook Pro. :(

I'm running virus scans, and I probably won't find anything, since it's a Mac. But I'm annoyed and disgusted with myself.

I think everybody does that

Yes, and it has happened to me before. On my Windows computer, I've literally had 3 trojans eating the hard drive until it was down to 0% and I was unable to run anything...MalwareBytes on a USB saved the day.

I'm hoping that Avast for Mac will do the job. It's been running for 3 hours, full system scan, and hasn't found anything yet. It did block something when I visited the dodgy site, though.
 
Earlier this year, around spring, a then-work colleague/friend said to me that she believed I was going to find love this year. She said it'd be either someone I'd meet this year or someone I already know. I don't think I'll ever forget those words. I mean, it's not going to happen, obviously..... T-30 days...... but it was sweet. It was a moment of hope. It was probably the closest I'll ever get again to really finding something...

^ Someone said the same thing to me in 2011, lol.

Don't despair yet. =] It would be nice if love could be predicted, but unfortunately you have to plod along never knowing exactly when or if it will happen.
