^^^ Liked because I like the quote, and say it often. But, I hope it doesn't really describe how you are feeling.

It's close... I'm pretty much shot. But I know when I'm 80 I wish I felt like I do today, so I'm not going to complain.

In light of the divisions our country is experiencing, I thought I'd lend a quote to think about in trying times.
"Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can."
--John Wesley"If you do not read the newspapers you're uninformed. If you do read the newspapers, you're misinformed." -- Mark Twain6 -
I don’t have to agree with you to like and respect you.
~ Anthony BourdainIf it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

Men get married thinking she won't change and she does; women get married thinking he will change and he doesn't.
I heard that at a marriage retreat but never heard who it was attributed to.

"Moderation in temper, is always a virtue; but moderation in principle, is a species of vice"
--Thomas Paine6 -
It is naively assumed that the fact that the majority of people share certain ideas or feelings proves the validity of these ideas and feelings. Nothing is further from the truth. Consensual validation as such has no bearing on reason or mental health. The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same forms of mental pathology does not make these people sane. ~Erich Fromm

A conversation between the two:
Albert Einstein: "What I most admire about your art is your universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!"
Charlie Chaplin: "True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say."7 -
Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”
Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others. ~Timothy Leary9 -
Do you love Me? Alice asked.
No, I don't love you! replied the White Rabbit.
Alice frowned and clasped her hands together as she did whenever she felt hurt.
See? replied the White Rabbit.
Now you're going to start asking yourself what makes you so imperfect and what did you do wrong so that I can't love you at least a little.
You know, that's why I can't love you.
You will not always be loved Alice, there will be days when others will be tired and bored with life, will have their heads in the clouds, and will hurt you.
Because people are like that, they somehow always end up hurting each other's feelings, whether through carelessness, misunderstanding, or conflicts with themselves.
If you don't love yourself, at least a little, if you don't create an armor of self-love and happiness around your heart, the feeble annoyances caused by others will become lethal and will destroy you.
The first time I saw you I made a pact with myself: "I will avoid loving you until you learn to love yourself."
From ‘Alice in Wonderland’11 -

Sometimes you gotta say "What the F—-", make your move. Every now and then, saying "What the F—-", brings freedom. Freedom brings opportunity, opportunity makes your future. Miles in Risky Business
