Life is empty, and full of unpleasantness. You aren't babbling, and people do care.

Are you listening?

Your life is valid. Exhausted by categorizing things, feeling as if no one cares? Stop. Take a break. It isn't your life's job to categorize everything under the sun - something that you've done very well, but is a Herculean task. Are you feeling empty? Maybe it's time to take a hiatus - find something new to do, just get the stress out. I formed a punk 'band' of one. It was terrible and certainly didn't make music, but having an excuse to yell helped, a little.

As for your friends, anyone who doesn't notice you isn't a real friend. Anyone who is overly phsyical is NOT a real friend. A lot of the friends we have eventually go their different ways - perhaps it's time to find some new ones. Our families tend not to express our love in the best ways, but I'm sure they love you - they just do it poorly, controllingly.

So that means you should look for something they can't control. I read a lot, spent most of my free time at the library. Then, I started getting up very early - my first job was a way to get out of the house, really. I found that wroking to the grindstone was something I - actually kind of liked, and it allowed me to work on my terms. Maybe something like that would help you?

More importantly - though I myself am going to be busy for a little bit, you know where you can talk at me if you just need to do so for a bit. I know that feeling Dusty, and you are completely valid in feeling it. As for the very first bits - this was, as far to my knowledge, always a fan-oriented project, and Mutahar has to deal with constant live-streams and the like; imagine the work that is done here, by a power of ten. I think it's probably just us, most of the time.

I really hope that helped, and I really hope you know how awesome you are. I know other people saying it will never, ever get the message across; because I know that inner feeling is so evil, so pervasive. But if it helps even a bit - I'd miss someone else who I can talk about my feelings that Yugi's grandpa is one foxy ojisan with and miss running into you in chats - even if it was in a while, since perhaps we'll both be taking hiatuses.

Take care, Dusty.
