Scary

[brainwalker]

Life, man. Just... life. It's really scary. It's like driving around in Baltimore. You make a turn that should tecnically send you in the right direction, and it might just as easily take you to the ghetto instead. Not that I know what direction is the right one, anyway... I need a road map, or OnStar, or GPS or something. Or better yet, why

Brian,I know it's really hard but this seems like the same thing that happens to me, though not at such a large level it's just a swallowing your fears. When I go to dance clubs I'll stare at the dance floor and think to myself, 'Did you come here to stare at the people dancing or did you come here to boogie? Who cares what the others say.' Then in the first sickoning step I get on the dance floor and start dancing :D! It's kind of the same thing with like, did you come here to just watch it pass you by or did you come here to live it? I know it's scary, I'm reminded of how scary it is through my mother all the time. Well you know what you need to do take that first sickoning step forward and don't stop there make the second one and get on the dace floor of life :D!

Though I do think I know what might be holding you back. It's a problem that bothers many people, it's a question that can hurt people very deeply. What if, that evil question, what if you work so damn hard on something and then it's all taken away from you, it'd seem like such a long fall and who'll be there to catch you when you reach the ground. Many people don't have anyone there to catch them. Well Let me tell you something, everyone on the forum and all the other friends that you have are there to catch you and help you bounce back. So just have a little more faith in yourself, search for the one thing you really want to do, and work up on that. Work on that and who knows you might make your own video game and make tones of money, or even a card game or something. There are millions of things that someone with your tallents could do! ::hugs:: So just don't give up ok? ::Smiles::

It's "sickening," FYI.

"What if" is a good question to ask, unless you ask it all the time. Then one of your friends gets pissed off and shouts "What if you got off your paranoid ass and started living your fucking life for a change, huh? What if that!?" The scariest "what if" question should be "What if your life passes you by because you were too busy asking yourself, 'What if?'?" I'm probably more well protected in the event of a crash and burn than most people, actually. That still doesn't mean I want to fall out of the sky in an out of control flaming hunk of metal. But I'd rather fall out of the sky in an out of control flaming hunk of metal than not amount to anything.

...What's the rule about punctuation in quotes within quotes, anyway?

Faith in myself... yea. That's the chronically lacking element, isn't it?

::blinks looks at her horrid spelling:: Mew! I'm sorry ^^;;;;;;;!

::Smiles:: Yes well 'What if' can be a dangerous thing to ask yourself when asked too many times. Sometimes I ask myself while walking down the street, 'What if some guy pulls me away and tries to do horrible things to me?' Believe me I know all about the dangers of what if, we live in a dangerous world. Though all the same it will be asked and sometimes no answer will be given, more so than not most of the time ^^;. Still sometimes you need to find the answers yourself hun. ::Hugs::

I think it's like this " ' '' ' " Though I'm not sure ^^;.

Well I have faith in you! ^_^! Though I think everyone has a little trouble having faith in themselves. I'd be dead if my life depended on having faith in myself you know ^^;? Like in the movie never ending story if you doubt yourself the statue's eyes will open and zap yea XP!

Mew... I mean if I'm being a bother I don't mean to, I just wanna help ^^;. ::Hugs::. Jason can tell yea I can't shut myself up for my own good ^^;.

I think you needed one less question mark in there. "What if you like the question 'what if'?" would be appropriate quotation, unless there were more verbiage before it in which case "What" should be decapitalized.

Quoting shit on the internet is hard, because rules of grammar can fuck with the meaning of the quotation.
