welcome Alanna
when i was in my twenties I had some of those thoughts and feelings too. as I was pondering about being nothing, having no body, etc, I received an image in my mind I've never forgot that I attribute to a guiding influence or a nonphysical being helping me stay in life.
heres what the dialogue was like:
Me: I want to go to the other side.
Helper: you want to what?
Me: float around with no cares because theres no meaning here. I don't want to be something. Iwant to be nothing.
Helper: look at the speck of dust floating. want to be that?
Me: maybe.
Helper: but the wind takes it where it will.
Me: it doesn't have control?
Helper: no, it doesn't even know its a speck of dust, let alone have control.
Helper: at least now you are more than a speck of dust and theres a chance for you to do and be and see and feel and know and taste. the dust has no such chance, for it would have to be nothing forever according to the one who chose this.
Me: well, I guess its better to be me than it is to be nothing. then I could feel a smile coming my way as I don't remember thinking this. I just remember the fed up part as coming from me. helpers are there when you get despondent. when you change yourself on the inside people start responding differently to you and theres meaning in that because they are looking for the meaning in you. hugs, alysia
