Awful. Suicidal. I hate to be a downer, but you did ask. I am however, sincerely glad that everybody else so far is feeling good. Nothing is as beautiful as seeing people appreciating life's beauty.

Head up there, young buck. The world is yours to conquer, don't let the nasty self-righteous cunt conquer you.

As you've mentioned $ and bandwidth (I lived in Sydney for a bit and fully realize how horrid bandwidth can be) you should go absorb something outside yourself and your computer screen.

I dare you to go outside...whereever you are right now. And walk or sit or stand or whatever for about 10 minutes and then come back and tell me what you saw. I want to see through your eyes.

Your profile tells me you're young. It also tells me you're a long way from home. What brought you to Australia? Work, study or holiday?

My father took a job offer for Perth, and so here we are. 'We' being me, both my parents and two younger brothers.

You are living in the most remote city in the world, in a state that is not famous for introspection or sensitivity. Where and what would you like to be, if you could be anywhere?

If i could be anywhere? I'd like to return to the Alps to go skiing. I haven't been in almost 2 years.

God. I'm not sure I can imagine an Earthly terrain that is more unlike Perth than the Alps. I suppose a gap year back to Europe is out of the question for you? Failing that, do you ever get the chance to head over to the east coast? Cheap flights to New Zealand aren't so uncommon out of Melbourne and Sydney, and I hear the skiing over there is pretty world class.

Money for me is currently, well, i don't have any. And i mean ANY. My education is taking too much of my time for me to work as well, which sucks. But yes i would love to go skiing in the Alps, or New Zealand, where i have never been but i have also heard that skiing there is fantastic..

That has to be the messiest, most grammatically incorrect paragraph i have ever written, but i'm tired and in a bad mood.

Nobody has money when they're 18 years old, unfortunately. I know the pain.

I was a young man in hurry, once. The idea of taking a semester off study to work and save cash for travel was anathema to me. I had plenty of friends who did it, though, and none of them regretted it. You'll find it easier to save if you're living at home, too.

Sorry you're feeling shit, cobber. I hope things improve for you soon.

Maybe a movie might put you in better feels? :(

SeventhProphet  ·  4154 days ago  ·  link  ·  

A lovely sentiment, thank you, but i lack the money to rent it and the bandwidth to download it (unless i want to wait 3 days for it to download, by which time i probably will be in a better mood).

Edit: A fantastic movie might i add, excellent choice.
