They (the devils) burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."Its not about ostracism.  Its not about you leaving forever. Its about liberation.  Its about you learning to be socially acceptable in a game that is extremely social.  If you keep trying to change, and adapt you will eventually kill the person you once were.  The one that replaces the person you once were will probably deserve the resources.  I want you to change, not die or go away.  Why bathe?  You have to start somewhere.  Work from the outside in.  It takes people time to figure out that you have changed and that THE CHANGE HAS STUCK.  The other problem with people in the US these days is this concept of instant gratification.  Things take time.  It takes time to change and it hurts, cause no one will believe you changed and they will still remember that memory of you.  You will remember it too.  however for you you know its what you were, and not what you have become.  And that which does not kill you only make you stronger.  Remember, (if you read the rest of the thread) it took me a year to stop smelling like cat piss.  Why live?  Cause you don't want to die.  You really want to disappear and see who misses you.  And trust me you will be missed by more people than you probably think, or can possibly even know.  Aaron.</blockquote>
