Before the judging...

This Alan Watts Chillstep Mix is one of my favorites. I hope that you do check it out when you have the time. Why is it one of my favorites?

A few years ago when my seba (teacher) said that it would be best for me to get out of my normal routine and go meet people. My brain started freaking out. I have a terrible habit of finding the exact people that I'm escaping from in my last relationships. I'd prefer to have just continued to study...

but I was lonely.

Suicidal depression came back pretty strong then. I don't know if I'll ever commit suicide but there have been points in my life where I have idolized it. I keep thinking what if I went to jump off of the Palisades cliffs or what about jumping off a bridge or maybe I'll shoot up for the first time, making sure that I had a lethal dose or How about getting super drunk and taking a bunch of Tylenol.

My mom has tried three times in her life (at least, these are the ones that I know about). I believe it has scarred me. How could a woman with kids so young want to leave her children? We live in a mental asylum.

During that last downward spiral, I came across these chill mixes featuring Alan Watts. It helped me out some.

I really like this talk about life and death because so many people aren't prepared for death and people are devastated when it happens, whether it be a natural death or a horrific one. The latter I can understand much more easily. It sucks to lose people to the numerous different things that can happen to a human. When it is the former, I think people should be rejoicing over the fact that the person died naturally and has passed on to whatever the next life holds. Now, you might be one of those who thinks that there is no life after death. To this, I must remind you that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Since everything is made up of energy, including humans, there is something else that will come after you leave your current body that you inhabit right now. What that will be or where you will go is anyone's guess but the fact remains that you will still be something.

I hope that when I die a natural death, people will celebrate with me before I go and continue to celebrate after I'm gone. Sure. You can cry and grieve but don't hold on to me. I'll come to visit you in your dreams or speak to you through the trees and the flowers. It isn't like I'll vanish into thin air and there will be nothing left of me. Again, we are made up of energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
