"Deja vu just ain't what it used to be ..."

[urbanamazon]

How come every time I express concern for a negative-sounding entry, I get my head bitten off and handed to me so I look like a total idiot? Everyone's always ranting about the world being a bad place or personal depression or problems that they can't do anything about, but as soon as I try and offer some light, or a shoulder, or even a blunt opinion, I'm attacked.

Yes, we're all hypocrites, I realize that.

Maybe it's all my problem and I should just shut up and look the other way. Sorry, but I don't think I can do that. I can't change my gut instinct of wanting to make life better for other people without overly thinking it over.

I'm just the way I am. I don't really want to change anyone else, either. I don't have that right. No one does.

Forgive me for losing to anger
Forgive me for being who I am
Forgive me for caring for a stranger
Forgive me for giving a damn

I posted that a while ago, and it's coming back to haunt me again. Maybe I should just become an emotionless icon, a bunch of words that might make sense, but doesn't really care.

I feel like giving up on this whole fucking livejournal thing. If all of my attempts for caring about people are going to end up like this, then what's the point?

*sigh* Shouldn't it be spelt 'nighilists'? Or does that mean something else?

Actually, I'm in a very good mood right now. Call me when you can, but I'll be *home* by perhaps eight or so tonight.
