Things do feel better when you are honest, even if it is perhaps in a negative way, because at least the honesty is something, right? It can be the one thing that is okay, sometimes. I still spare people's feelings, but I'm finding that I'm a lot more open about what I'm thinking, trying to put honesty as my main focus in pretty much everything. It's an admirable trait, but no one's saying it's an easy practice. Be honest with me now: have a ever treated you in a way that hurt you? If so, I am genuinely sorry.

It sounds like you're having a rough time right now. If you can't find a reason to live for within yourself, or within your immediate life (day to day, work, etc.), perhaps I will remind you that there are at least us 4 people here in Victoria that care about you. I, personally, am worried, but mostly just wishing there was something I could offer you that might sort things out a bit, or at least ease the suffering. I can honestly say that I've been where you are, and if you can find a reason to hold out and maybe even hold some hope, you will find your meaning.
