2. It's a Great Day To Be Alive (How Much More Am I Expected To Take?)

My final exit will one day come for me, but when I die I'll die alone, anonymously. My true loved ones won't grieve. They won't have any reason to. They'll live their lives believing, I'm still living mine the way I sincerely want to. You may think this way of life a joyless, lonely one. You may be right but I'm convinced it's my only safe one. A solitary life is the only way of life available that works for me. Only when I'm home alone do I ever truly feel any sense of serenity, but then there's a knock on my door or my telephone rings and I'm faced with more tragedy. I sincerely can't take another loss. I feel it would be the end of me. Official Notice: On my birthday in the year 2010 I will "die" and never see or hear from my loved ones again. Please don't be mad and please don't be sad. I'll still be living my life. I won't really be dead. True Happiness it seems is beyond my dreams, but True Solitude can offer me some joy and serenity instead.

I also have issues with "absorbing" too much of the energy of others and the energy of the "scene" around me the "noise, the voices, the fire engines, the phones..and on and on..." I rarely go into cities. I live alone in a pastural setting. I am also an energetic healer, a sensitive, some with intuitions and insights. I use my "state of being" to help others. I seem to bleed off their negative emotions and try desparately not to absorb them. So, I do understand somewhat BUT I made lemonade.
