		<description>No one really knows how another person feels, even if you yourself have experienced similar things in life...I find that the most precious of all have been the things in life I have learned from animals...patience, kindness and love....not the &quot;people&quot; kind of love or &quot;people reactions&quot; but real unconditional love and commitment.....Animals are so many times hurt in this sick and sad society we live in, that you only see hope and light when you find others who find to help them also....because only the dark, inhumane and callous hurt them....(just like with people)....and only the true heros and compassionate people help them...(again just like with people)...but animals will never stop listening...not because they cant, because they want to be there.........YOU WILL FIND some people to be the same way.......but if you feel that sometimes life is too hard to go on, or painful...like with me....I remember that there is an innocent out there  being needlessly hurt and killed by some sick human who does not deserve to be on this planet , and I remember what gives me the will to get up every day....It is NOT most people, or the way they will treat me or the world, it is not because suddenly my physical or emotional pain has gone away because it does not...it IS because I have wonderful animals who first thing, kiss my hand or just lay next to me...JUST BECAUSE..
they LOVE ME......and I remember that I live for them...and others who are in need greater than my own.....and I do care for the people who feel the same....and fight to save lives..........There are many of us who have a great depression, not knowing where it came froms or where it will go..........but I do know for now at least.....I have reasons to be.....to get up, to live, to care for those who I know care for me........and the others.....I have to think they may never understand, because most people put thier heads in the sand, so they dont have to see...or hear, or feel, either because they dont know what to do, and its too &quot;painful&quot; for them...or they dont care....
I say.....great....because of those kinds of people, people and animals dont get the help they need....becasue society has become a dont look dont tell, and get over it society, the pain lingers and the abuse and suffering goes on..
Not by my hand....not by anyone I knows hand....I would not tolerate it.......but I will keep fighing along side of those who make a difference, and a change....and for those who dont care or hurt others....WATCH OUT....because we are watching....and making a change.....becasue we matter too....The innocent animals of the world....The people who need a reason to care.......we are somebody....we will have voices, and we will be a voice...for all those in need...like you, the dog down the street, like me....
Blessings for peace, and find the  inner compassion and care for those in need....It will help...learn to love as they do...not like most people....and always be patient, kind and compassionate....even when others are not...</description>

		<description>@lisa:  I know I&#039;m not alone.  I have a whole room of IRC people to talk to. :P  Besides that, I do have people to talk to outside the internets.  I just need to talk to myself, if that makes sense.  Be more honest with myself.

@cooper:  I&#039;m sorry that your first visit here had to be about such a depressing subject.  I&#039;m not a downer in general.  But I do have my moments.  Thanks for stopping by!  And that sounded really fake and generic.  In any case, I mean it.</description>

		<description>I came here from nine rules notes- live or whatever it is.

 &quot;Is there a point where a person is so broken and so damaged that they can never be fixed, or glued, or whole?&quot;

I really don&#039;t think so.

Besides swimming is a bitch for some people to learn but they do when they have to. Maybe you have to. Sometime having to do something is a good thing.

I don&#039;t know you so I can&#039;t judge really. I&#039;m just passing by.

The best to you, you seem at least from what I can see, like a decent person.

I hope to catch some of your pod-video casts.</description>

		<description>:( There aren&#039;t words that can be said that will make a true difference, I know. Everything takes time and understanding.

But you are never alone, don&#039;t ever forget that.</description>
