  1. I heart quoting them, but my family gets miffed if I do it, so I've learned to tone it down. Some favorites:

     

    "You can no longer hide in shadow." *flips light switch*

     

    "I am shadow. The shadow that guards the gate."

     

    "Takanuva, now so bold. But at heart, you are still, just, Takua."

  2. It's just a "genre-busting" piece. :P Genre is just "patterns of stuff" in a fictional work anyway. You are building new "patterns of stuff" that doesn't fall into the established patterns of stuff.

     

    And forcing oneself to write does not cure writer's block. It produces bad writing because you have to fill up the page with words, but those words need not be of any value. It's like writing a school essay.

  3. The person who says "Christians don't get depression" is just plain flat wrong. I have an aunt who is a Christian and depressed. I went through a major bout of depression myself, and I'm a Christian. Christians are people too, and have problems like everybody else.

     

    I don't know if this will help or not, but when I was depressed I found it helpful to make a list of the people and things that were hurting me, and then slowly go down the list, forgiving the people and the things - acknowledging that those people and things were causing me pain, but that I could chose to carry that pain or forgive the stuff and let it go.

     

    I'm sorry if the above paragraph is being insensitive. I have no idea what you're going through right now, and I freely acknowledge that. I agree with you that the world could use a facelift. But you can't force people to like you or to appreciate you. In fact, I'm confident enough to say that there are people in your life who really do appreciate you for who you are. If not, that's a shame. I've seen enough to know that you're an excellent writer - on this blog, and you write excellent nerd comedy - and you have the guts to ride your bike over an incredible distance that I couldn't ride. You do have intrinsic value as a human being. You can accomplish great things and meet great people.

     

    And if people don't appreciate that, walk away. You don't have time to waste on those people. Focus on the people who do.

     

    (sorry if I'm being insensitive, I'm not an aspie and I don't really know what it's like.)

    Featured Quote:

    "In the time before time, the Great Spirit descended from the heavens, carrying we, the ones called Matoran, to this paradise. We were separate and without purpose, so the Great Spirit illuminated us with the Three Virtues: Unity, Duty, and Destiny. We embraced these gifts and, in gratitude, we named our island home Mata Nui, after the Great Spirit himself."
