This is happening too much... I don't know how to stop it... but if you ever feel like you are at your breaking point, like author on this post below says "Just Stop". I don't want to keep seeing posts like this. Not because it makes me sad, but because I really don't want people going down that road...

Thank you, the author gave no indication of who the hell he was talking about.

It is written for Jody Sherman though, not for an audience. I personally never heard of him, but I appreciated the writing anyway. It is a beautiful piece.

I don't know. Jody Sherman probably can't read it, and it says "Be Sociable, Share!" at the bottom.

Actually, I think the idea of "published" on the web means it is for an audience. I appreciate yuvadam providing the context as I was baffled, too.

Here's what can help: Everyone needs a plan B and realistic expectations from life:

The majority of businesses fail, you won't achieve everything at 26, you're not going to get rich, and being addicted to success and fame is not a good thing. Have a realistic plan B, a way to have a normal life like everyone else in the event that your ambitions expire.

My Plan B: Work at a grocery store like my brother, live with Mom & Dad. Plan C: Start an Alpaca farm if feasible, and live quietly in Idaho for the rest of my life.

That's pretty depressing. I'm just being honest.

I can only speak for myself, but I put a lot of stuff up there which is simply like talking or painting or jamming at an open window to me: anyone is free to stop by and watch and/or comment, but I always feel free to be as personal, or incomprehensible, or random as I want to be. I don't get paid to provide a certain service in my personal space, I don't even have to explain myself to anyone; so you know what, I don't. And if someone else posted it to another site, that's something else entirely.

No, that's why it has a more explanatory, as opposed to personal, title on BI.

Plan A: Find someone you love and who loves you, too. Plan B: Find someone who loves you, and love them.
