'sigh' You all amaze me at the fact that you all actually read this stuff.
definition of Happiness and Caring
So of course I have those two issues to deal with now. whether or not I deserve happiness or if I'm a caring person. Then there's my belief in existentialism, which a lot people think is rather depressing. for all of you that don't know the meaning of existentialism its definition is the 20th-century philosophical movement that denies that the universe has any intrinsic/essential meaning or purpose and requires individuals to take responsibility for their own actions and shape their own destinies. now is that really that bad? dying and having your whole existance being erased...

Anyhow, I've been bothered by these two issues of happiness and caring recently. first of all, with the whole happiness situations, I say that I don't deserve it because of my problem with keiko (ex g/f now). She was with her new b/f for a few weeks now and I've been happy for her because I thought that she was happy with him and that he was treating her better than I was. but I guess I was wrong. she still wasn't happy. she still wanted to be with me. she stil lthinks about me. and the thought of not being with me anymore, I think kinda caused her to become even more depressed than before. Last I believe thursday night, she cut herself again. but this time it was a large gash in her arm. larger than any of the other cuts she's ever put on her arm. it was horrible and yet I really wasn't paying attention to it. Rayne went over there and talked to her since them two are always close which is rather annoying to me, personally. he was asking her about why she was so down and of course she wasn't even fully telling him the truth. she tried to be normal about it but of course none of us could take it lightly. she let us read a note that she wrote which was kinda like a poem. well actually I was the last to read it because she hates letting me know her personally thoughts because she feels as if she's being ignored. sadly enough, she's the only one that feels as if they're being ignored when they talk to me about their personal issues. After Rayne read the letter, he pushed it back to her and siad he didn't understand and that it was too confusing. she laughed but it was a really sad one. I asked for the letter so that I can read it. she hesitated a bit and then gave it to me. it was so sad. all of it was about how the way she stil lthinks about me and how the way she can't be around me and now she doesn't know what to do especially about her feelings. I felt so horrible inside because I caused her to start cutting herself again. I smiled and handed it back to her saying "well ya know, do I always have to hi to you first in order for you to respond to me?" she smiled back and said "hi" and then I told her "thank you, now that wasn't so bad"... Later that day, she was taken away. they took her back to the hospital and now she has to stay there for 3 whole months. that means she's proabaly gonna come back even worse than before. it was bad enough that she could only be happy if she takes her medicine but now shes' going to be stuck on happy drugs. Also, the prom that I've been thinking about since last year is going to be depressing because now I don't have a prom date. I didn't want to go with anyone else but her and although we weren't together anymore, she still agreed to go to prom with me. Guess that's not going to happen. it's really sad that because of me she couldn't stop cutting herself and so now everytime I try to make myself happy, I get all depressed because I start thinking about her and how the way she is locked up and can no longer enjoy life because of me. it's sad and although Glass said that I should really stop beating myself up about this, it's really hard not to.

(the next day)

now it's time for me to get on that subject of caring. So do I care? I mean I always thought I did until my recent conversation with my friend jarrel. I never thought of myself as the none caring type but he insisted that I was. he said that all I ever cared about was things that revolved around me and anime. if it's not related to those two things then I wouldn't give a care about it. I told that wasn't true but the things he kept pointing out just made me think to myself "do I really only care about myself". it was really depressing to hear that from him and of course I kept telling myself that he doesn't understand and how would he know. he said that I didn't care for keiko when she was in the hospital and I told him that wasn't true. I told him the reason for not calling her was personal and he just responded "right" very sarcasticly. I really do care about her but it was just really hard for me to speak to her especially if she was going to keep threatening me and talking about how much things was my fault, and how I make her think negative thoughts. He didn't understand but when she came back and I just accepted her having a new b/f behind my back, I just kept thinking to myself "she's young any ways and so is he, besides she's happy now... right?". It's true that it's hard for me to talk to people without thinking about anime or gaia but I honstly didn't think of myself as none caring. I tried talking to Usagi about my problem and she said that I was caring. I don't know, I didn't accept when she first told me because then I told her how much I don't do things that a caring person do like, ask my friends how are they, or hows their day been or discuss anything of their interest. she told me that the fact that I think about those things mean that I care. I was starting to feel a little bit better until one night when I spoke to Jarrel. I just finished watching the 1:30am Champloo and was getting ready for bed until I got a call from him. I was telling him that it is way too late for phone calls and that I was ready to go to sleep. he brought up the movie kung fu hustle and thats when it all happened....

( getting kicked out of the lab. finish tomorrow )

He was shocked and asked "you went to go see that movie? when? you actually went by yourself?" I told him that I went with...

i dont think you understand existentialism. it's all about taking responsibility for your actions and choices in life. waht happens to others dosent matteryou must only esit for you and by your own stadnards of ultimate good and ultimate evil. also as far as not existing existenalist believe in no such thing as faith and no god or devil taht influence there life as far as the after life is concerned. no existenalist says your existance willl be erased thats impossible. but you should know that when you die. which wont be for a very long time. your existance will coninue to live on in teh thoughts of others i know personally all my children will know your name. they hgave to they will know the names of all my great enemies and there children shall knolw. and when i die and you die before me im going to die and kick your a** in whatever after life you go to existing or not.YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE ME I'LL CHASE YOU TO HELL AND BACK, IF I MUST. NO ONE ESCAPES ME NOT EVEN IN DEATH. MY HATRED IS ETERNAL AND TRANSENDS LIFE ITSELF. YOU MAY BELIVE YOU WILL STOP EXISTING, BUT I'LL DRAG YOU BACK INTO EXISTENCE AND THEN MAKE YOU WISH YOU DIDNT EXIST. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO IS ALLOWED TO KILL YOU. NOT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE WILL DEPRIVE ME OF MY BIRTH RIGHT. TO END THE LIFE OF ALL MY ENEMIES scream or i could be blowing this out of porportion and theres nothing to worry about sweatdrop .

yes... yes you are. I am fully aware of the fact that after you die your existance will remain in others memory. I got that all from no exit but what I meant when I said erased from existance is that once you die, you're gone. there's no after life or anything like that. your thoughts and everything will just go black. there will be no more you. I mean who cares if other people remember you. if you're gone, what purpose would it have to you if people remember you or not. you're dead but enough of that. I'm not a hard core existentialist because in someways I still believe in hope and I'm not a big "Ultimate evil or Ultimate good" type person. I believe in everyone being neutral. thats my honest opinion. taking responsibility for all of my actions is why I'm also ways gettiing depressed. cause I know every single thing I do is a choice that I made which mean that it's no one elses fault but my own. I'm killing myself cause I'm really sick right now. I'm done with this comment, just next tiime, DON'T COMMENT UNTIL I'M DONE WITH MY ENTRY!!!

................. ninja ......... i know i'm not supposed to write anything until you're done but..... I know next to nothing on existentialism so I'm going to shut up about that. But as far as keiko goes. I have a good point to make that's going to be tedious, repetitive and confusing so go get some coffee and then come back...... are you done???... OH GOD! COFFEE all over the KEYBOARD! What the hell are you thinking It's electroniC! AHHHHHHH It BURNS! *sizzle sizzle crack sizzle*..... *thunk*........ *twitch twitch*

*smoke drifts from hair* alright... alright I'm back. Okay anyways. You say that you're going to takt the blame for all of the results that your actions cause right? Because there is no point in blaming someone else for something you've done. Right? Well. Keiko decided to cut herself, for many motives. Keiko decided to take actions that led her to the mental institution. So why are you blaming yourself? Just because you were a part of her life? My shnooka, and Rayne were both a part of her life too. Does that make it their fault that SHE DECIDED to do that to herself? You're trying to take the blame from her and place it onto yourself to help her, but in the process, you're hurting yourself. And it's very kind and CARING of you to try to do that for her, you have to realize that as much as you want to help her, there's not much you can do for anyone else until you take care of yourself. Trust me, I've been down that road. I've spent YEARS of my life trying to neglect my own happiness and living through others. But at the end of the day, I hated my life and I hated myself. Why? Because I wasn't living for me, to make me happy. And now you're doing the same thing. You're living to try to make her happier. And I don't want you to have that same empty, lonely feeling I had.

As far as what happens as you die.... no one knows. It seems most plausible that it's just like before you were born, nothing. empty. But I do believe in the concept of souls and that a soul is created at birth and you can't merely stop existing just because your body does. A person consists of so much more than just flesh and blood. And even if there is no such thing as a soul, and there is only nothingness waiting for us in the afterlife, it's nice to think that our loved ones will have something nice to go to, as well as ourselves.
