I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
gently caress that, I wish I was born twice.

got those happy feet

I wish I'd been partial birth aborted, but the doc hosed up the procedure leaving me with a traumatic brain injury that leads to increasingly murderous tendencies.

My friend was a failed abortion and she had health problems and died last year. :(

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
You want to know how much of a bitch my mom is?

She tried hard to abort me
They even went out if state to get one, didn't work, couldn't find someone or smth

This was long ago.
I completely believe in abortion, I had one. But why tell your daughter that?

Nah, not really. The modern era sucks and life is dumb now but it's a literal once in a lifetime opportunity to exist and once it's over it's back to the other thing for the rest of eternity. Life is more like a vacation from nonexistence if you think about it. And even when a vacation sucks, at least you're not at work.

"That's what they all say!"
I've been lucky so far. I'll take existing over the alternative. I guess Hamlet was on to something:

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?


Hamlet was referring to suicide, though, which is a bit different.

Being alive is more interesting than not. There's a lot of things that suck about life but the things that don't are pretty cool and I like being able to see more of those. :unsmith:

I always think of these reports throughout history from people who came back from hanging and were like "wait no that owned! wtf are you doing!"

quote:

From the Quarterly Review, September 1849, quoted in Notes and Queries, July 4, 1874:

An immense number of persons recovered from insensibility have recorded their sensations, and agree in the report that an easier end [than hanging] could not be desired. An acquaintance of Lord Bacon, who meant to hang himself partially, lost his footing, and was cut down at the last extremity, having nearly paid for his curiosity with his life. He declared that he felt no pain, and his only sensation was of fire before his eyes, which changed first to black and then to sky-blue. These colours are even a source of pleasure. A Captain Montagnac, who was hanged in France during the religious wars, and rescued from the gibbet at the intercession of Viscount Turenne, complained that, having lost all pain in an instant, he had been taken from a light of which the charm defied description. Another criminal, who escaped by the breaking of the cord, said that, after a second of suffering, a fire appeared, and across it the most beautiful avenue of trees. Henry IV. of France sent his physician to question him, and when mention was made of a pardon, the man answered coldly that it was not worth the asking.
