Hey Lav! ^^
I have to apologize that we probably haven't interacted very much (if at all), but I notice you. I often read your posts, but I can't say that faithfully to anyone, as I limit my time and if the forum has multiple pages, I'll often just skim through...
Anyway...that aside...from what I can tell at least, you seem pretty cool. I'm sorry you don't get the responses a lot of others do. I find, in my time here (which has been about 5 years regardless of what the electronic counter says)...that it comes in ebbs and flows. I had people occasionally who liked me, missed me, would talk sometimes or comment... I'm still appreciative to the few that do on occasion.
...but all that to say, of the thousands of posts you see counted, maybe only a quarter (if that) warranted response. Some received trolling...some heavy trolling... Others were read and possibly disregarded...lost in the pile of other posters on the site.
I'm not very consistent in my posts and involvement either, so I can relate there. Life's busy, and unlike the past...I don't have huge amounts of time to waste... (Not that all time spent here is a waste, but I think you can understand...especially those who are FaceBook and other social site addicts...) You don't need to be on the computer all the time. Spend some of your free time outside or learning something new, reading or writing, cleaning, sleeping, or something good for you.
Anyway, that's the second tangent I've gone down...and I apologize that most of my messages are quite long... I understand about being lonely, depressed, down on yourself, unmotivated, and a great deal of other things by which I'm not sure whether or not you could relate. What I do know, though...is that today is a gift. It's a special gift, just for you. God loves you, just as much as He always has, and will continue to forever. This life that you have...it's a gift. You get to choose, in your life, just like in your day, what you want to do, who you want to be, where you want to go. I think we forget that sometimes. We talk about going somewhere and being somebody, you are somewhere...and you are somebody...some important, and special...because there's only one you. God made you, and continues to make you. ^_^ We're all a work-in-progress, lol!
Anyway...I know I'm often in dark places and can relate, I believe, to many of your feelings and some of your experiences. I don't know what to say to make you not feel that way anymore, just like I can't do that for myself... What I can do, again...is tell you that you're awesome! I'm glad you're here...on the site, on the planet, in God's family... Thanks for taking the time to read this, if you do, and know/remember that you're not alone. There are others out there struggling, too, and God is with us for every moment, and thought, and tear... Yeah. ^^0 Anyway, I just wanted to say something. If you ever want to talk (via message or chat or whatever) then please hit me up whenever is good for you. I'll get back eventually... =3 God bless, Lav! God, bless Lav. ^^
