Life Has A Way

Life always has a way of doing whatever it needs to do. There’s nothing wrong with that thought process. It comes and goes without a second thought. We can’t easily figure out why life does this to us, we have to understand something at some point, but if we don’t? Well, no harm no foul. It’s life and we have to continue going forward to see everything that is out there. There’s nothing we can do about it. Life will move foreward without the ability for us to do anything but wonder what this life will eventually be like in the far distant future. Oh what a joy that could bring about. If life has a way, we will be able to get from point a to point b in no time at all. It feels like a circle at times. A = B = C, isn’t that what the crazy future guy in Star Trek: Voyager tried to explain? Yeah, something like that. It’s quite an interesting thought process to be sure. It’s life though, nothing can be done about it. So let life be what it wants to be, there’s nothing wrong with that tho...

I Don't Care

 There are things I care about, and other things that I don't care about. A lot of things I don't seem to care about outweigh the things I do care about. Life can be a funny thing at times. Oh, forget funny, life isn't funny. There's no laughing about it. I feel like there is too much going on most of the time and I don't have the ability to keep up. It just doesn't work out that way. Talk about drama. I hate drama. It's too much to worry about.

So, I choose not to care.

What's the point in caring anyway? If other people don't care, why should I? Family members don't care about my mental health. Why should I care about it either. They don't even try to understand what is going on with me. There is no point in worrying about it. Not caring is probably my best go to option in the world right now. Hell, if you understood my position on things, you might not care either! There just isn't a possible way to make everything have sense in this life and keep it all together. I refuse to believe there is another option.

The bible teaches us to lean not unto our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). That we must acknowledge God and He will direct our path. I wish that were simply the case. I don't know how any of it works out though. I believe it to be true. I just need to have faith that God will actually direct me towards that which I should be directed towards. I'm not sure I always have the faith necessary to make things happen. I try to have it... maybe that's enough. I don't know.

Does having faith mean that I care somewhat of my circumstances? I do not know. It might be better to have knowledge of things to come instead of faith that they will turn out okay. I'm not sure which is better if I'm being honest. Things might be better with time. Aren't things always better as time moves forward? It's a quest I wish to achieve at some point in life. Right now, I don't know which is better.

Wishing and hoping for something you can't see is a mystery at times. Some say that is an act of faith. Isn't that the actual definition of faith? Faith is a belief with strong conviction in something where there is no tangible proof. Well, if that's the case then faith in my ability to overcome my mental illness could be seen as over the top. As far as I know, there is no cure for it. Nothing that will make me better. I can hopefully curb the symptoms for a time, but that's the best I can get from it all.

When I was first told of my illness I was devastated. How could anyone deal with me. Would they be able to accept me for who I am? I know my illness does not define me as a person, but sometimes it sure feels like it does. Talk about an annoyance at best. I wish I didn't have this problem. I wish I was well. But I can't determine the future or change the past. I can only live it and hopefully survive what is considered to be my present.

That's all there is to this life. The present makes itself known and I am but a person who it decides to control. There is nothing more to be had from it all. Nothing to be gained. I am a human being with problems just like everyone else. I just don't see the point in caring about any of it right now. It'll come to an end someday I'm sure, someday I will care again. But for now, I feel numb to all of it. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It just simply is what it is.

Schizoaffective Disorder

I want to say it first began in High School when I thought I was trying to beat the devil. Now when I say I was "trying to beat the devil", I mean I actually thought I was hearing the devil speak to me at night and that I had to find some way to overcome him. Looking back I should have sought professional help then. I remember telling a friend about this experience, and he looked at me like I was nuts. Talk about craziness right? Yeah something like that. I believe my first mental break was when I was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints . I wanted to go home so bad. It could have just been homesickness . But...there was something more to it. About halfway through I was just done with it all. I had had enough of rejection and wanted to go home. But I was afraid that I was unable to because I would simply be told no . I know that sounds silly to people. But that's what happened. I didn't b...

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

ColdFusion

So recently, I decided to include ColdFusion in my Linux setup. I was going to just run Tomcat and install CF that way, but well I decided against that route and installed ColdFusion 9 using the regular methods. It's been running quite smoothly if I do say so myself. I of course don't have the installation instructions anymore. Oops. I suppose I could Google for them again and make a copy or something. But well if my server ever crashes and I have to start all over again, yeah I'll worry aobut it then. FOr now, not so much. So here's my current setup: MySQL PHP Perl ColdFusion 9 Yeah something like that. Not too bad if I do say so myself. Of course what else would I say about it? You know I wouldn't ever say anything bad about my own server setup. Well unless I already have, if that's the case. Oops. Disregard that blog post. So yep, I think I'll have some fun with all of that for sure.
