Actually, I think the idea of "published" on the web means it is for an audience.
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.
this is a great post by Mark, I think everyone who knows Jody will be vigorously nodding their head throughout. way too early to go, man.. the only consolation is it makes me happy to see the tremendous impression you've left on so many others. rest in peace.
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...
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.
For you that may be true. But billions of human beings live like this and find a way to be content and happy with their lives. If they can be happy with having little then maybe having little isn't depressing. Maybe your mindset is what's depressing.
