To all the people whove loved me throughout my life, thank you. Love inspires people in ways some cant contemplate. My friends, my ex lovers, my kids, random people in life who dont know me from Jack whove given me food or clothes. Ive been up in my life to a crowning achievement when I made 75k a year, owned my own home, was married, etc. I had every physical thing I wanted at that point, yet it seemed hollow. The relationship I had with my now ex-wife at the time was empty, I felt like I knew myself well at the time, and that I loved myself. But, with all that said, I didnt have love. Ive been down in my life also, which is equally hollow, but with less material things. I hear people whore also doing without talk about how much better life would be with things, but those things dont fill the gap. I tried that. Maybe theyll learn that some day, and know what I know now. Love is the only thing that makes life meaningful. Ive had people tell me, youve got to love yourself before you can love someone else. Thats not true at all. Robin Williams gave many many people love, and yet when it came down to it, he didnt love himself. He touched so many people because we could all see the pain inside him that came out through his acting and presence. Robin Williams didnt act. He simply went on stage, or in front of the camera, and was himself. No matter what name the movies gave him, or what role he was supposed to play, he succeeded because he expressed himself fully. He didnt try to be something he wasnt. He just tapped into the part of himself that was. The last thing in the world someone whos depressed wants to hear is something intended to be harshly motivational, youve got to pull yourself out of this That just doesnt happen. What a depressed person hears when someone says that is, I dont want to make time to talk to you, I dont want to to throw you a rope to help you get out of that hole where you cant do anything but walk in circles. Youre not worth some of my time. Anyone, no matter what theyve given to the world, can feel like they arent worth the life inside themselves. Sometimes we just need a hug, a talk with someone who can refrain from judging where the sadness comes from, and a good cry. Other times it takes a lot more than that. Love inspires people in ways some cant contemplate.
