It is, isn't it today Flood? Take a look around. Take a look at yourselves. There's a lot of unhappiness around. I know that I'm not infallible. I too am subject to bouts of deep sadness. But, today, I'm going to make things different.

Some of you here, know that I work quite a bit for my family. Some of you, know that I do it for that little sick shard in me, out of self loathing and hate. But I do it for another reason. You people don't know what my family has gone through. You people don't want to. But know, that for every one of them, life was not fair. And it will never repay them for that unkindness. But I can.

This is why I stay. This is why I work. I make them a part of my life, because money can't repair them. Someone who is unbending in will, someone who cares, and loves can. I talked to my brother in law today. He's in his 70's. And this year, he seems to be really down. My sister fares better, but the fact is, he's got a million things to do, and he's running out of time.

Everybody never has enough time.

But I do. I'm 22. I can do whatever I put my head into.

So, do you know what I choose? Despite my life, as shitty as it was, as shitty as people have been to me, I choose to believe in the better parts of Human nature. I choose to go out into the world, and fight for that, in any way that I can. My family, my friends.

I sit, and I watch, all these people, falling to pieces around me. Even here, the struggle exists. And you know what I say? Not fucking today.

Years, are but a number. Money, is but a number. I can make it all back shortly, through work of mine. I'm going to take the current money in my possession, that I've scrounged up from all corners of work and couches, and give it to my brother in law. And I'm going to tell him to take my sister, and my little niece, and get the fuck out of here and go on a vacation for a bit.

I'm going to look at the people around me, that I care for, and like fucking hell am I going to let them sink. Not today folks. Not today.

All of you, in your woes, and your troubles, given to you by a world that seemingly doesn't care, by people who don't give a shit how much they hurt and bring misery, know that you're not alone. You can beat it.

And today, I'm going to change that. It's not much. It's not life changing. But, just this once, I'm going to change things. And tomorrow, I aim to do the same. And all of you folks here, should do it too. Power of choice right? You choose, everything.

I choose not to let things get the better of me, or the people I love and care for.

No. No happiness

Life has it's ups and downs. I can be quite cynical in times, but I still have my faith and trust in humanity.

As a whole, Humanity is an ugly creature. Its singular, special people, people that are like candles, providing light in the dark, yet still so fragile, that deserve that trust, and deserve that faith.

Yes, that is how I feel about humanity. A sea of darkness, with a lights few and far between.
