*Disclosure* Yeah ok so this post is really boring and filled with emotions and junk so i recommend you don't read it.
don't say I didn't warn you.
It's still not too late to turn back...
oh push off! read something else!
Yeah well this evening has not been a fun one for me. I just cried for about an hour straight about something that would never have made me cry in the past. A kitten going to the pound. I dunno what is up with me lately, i've been really dark and twisty as the saying goes, and tonight I guess it all just came out. So i suppose I should start at the beginning. Well on the surface level this is about my parents not letting me have this kitten that they guy I like found in the snow the other day. His mother won't let him care for it, and so for some reason I felt this great need to care for it. But once I got to thinking, this issue runs deeper than that. In the end, it's all about the fact that no one in my life needs me. True some people love me, care about me, but no one actually needs me. They certainly need things of me, which being the generous person I am I usually give to them without a fight. I guess the reason why I wanted the kitten so badly was because it wouldn't leave me. It would need me. And in the end, that is what I need, someone to need me not for any purpose (i.e. helping them with homework, giving them a ride somewhere, loaning them money). The thing is no one's life is tied to mine. No one would be in a crisis if I weren't here, and I guess that just got me to thinking about all the things in the world that I want to help with, but can't. In the end, I may never be really needed in this world, and there really isn't anything I can do about that. So please if you did read this, don't comment something sappy or inspirational. I really don't need any advice or help. All I can really do is try and live life, and deal with these things as I can. On my own!

now you know...
How I feel every god damn day...aside from that, how are you david? It's been a while. hit me up on myspace if u wanna chat.
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
Hmm...
I guess I just think the opposite.
To be loved, wanted, cared about... these are all voluntary actions. And on some level, it seems they are of a higher level, because they are relationships that are chosen.
It's sort of like my take on gay marriage. I mean, sure I'm for it, but on some level isn't it more noble and pure to wake up every day, without a legal and social obligation, and choose to live with this person through good times and bad?
Every day, people love you, care for you, and make a decision that loving for you and caring for you is important. Whereas a need is lesser in some regard, because it seems more symbiotic, and not a choice. You said you wanted the cat because it couldn't leave, well... doesn't the removal of volition and desire show it is a relationship that exists because of a power imbalance?
I think it is all how you view the world. I hope to never be needed but have a lot of people who really want me, desire me, love me, etc.
I can be needed, however, when I adopt a baby. In that relationshp, it makes sense.

is there someplace you could
is there someplace you could do volunteer work? like a headstart for example, which is early schooling for kids from underprivledged homes. there are lots of people that need you, everyone is needed, even if you're unaware of it. try working with kids, even if you're not taking care of them full time, like the kitten, your relationship with them will be quite significant.
