Blog:
My Dearest Friend,
Man is designed to care, our greatest feature, our most fatal flaw. We care, we cannot control it, but we care. You say you don't care about anything anymore (I have your blog open as I'm typing this), "[you] don't give a crap about anything anymore." Actually, you care about not caring. Do not let this become your passion. To put it into your own words, you give a crap about not giving a crap. Never let yourself become so focused, so caring, on not caring that you amputate yourself from the body that is mankind. A limb is meant to be attached ninety nine out of every one hundred instants. You, Friend, you are meant to be attached. I know what it is like to want to be away from people. You can read my thoughts on that throughout my blog, listen to your own advice, and let me say from experience, it is much better to be attached to the body the purposely amputated from it.
We are what we are. We can only do so much, which unfortunately, in the big picture is very little. Accept that. Let yourself do what little anyone in the world can do, then let the rest take care of itself. Let the uncontrollable things in life wash over and baptize you in their pain, sorrow, and joy. Let the uncontrollabe problems be just that, uncontrollabe. Treat them like the weather, adapt to the days demands and nothing more. Often times we treat our problems much the opposite. We attempt to change them, to tackle them by ourselves or with others. I say we should share them with our friends, or keep them to ourselves, do what little we can and feel them flow over us, let us be born again through them.
That is all we can do. Don't you understand? Tip the ball and hopes it falls the direction we want it to. The former statement still enlarges and exagerates the amount of control we have over our problems. All we can really do is pray for a weather change which may never happen, but we can only hope, and until our long awaited sunny day, we must dress for the weather.
My friend, your only flaw is caring to much.
Yours Truly,
Drake Frost
