Absolutely nothing to do with Firefly...
Well, folks, life has ceased to have meaning.
My very beautiful, very amazing, very beloved girlfriend has decided she doesn't know if she wants to be with me, because of various differences in who we are as people...
So, I'm very brokenhearted, very sad, very depressed, and have very little reason to go on...
... sigh...

Alantfrancis wanted me to pass this message onto you as he can't log in at the moment:
If you learn anything from Firefly, is that you should always, just keep flying.You loved her well, that is the greatest gift that anyone can receive. Love is great because at its best, its selfless. Let her go, but you can let her know that you'll always be there for her.Its what you do and the way you live your life is what matters. If nothing we do matters, the only thing that matters is what we do.Life is defined by its hardships and pain. Its what makes the simple things so amazing. There is beauty in what other people see as the mundane, a door being held open for someone, a kind word, if someone looks a little sad, or a kick ass movie being released on 22 April 2005. ;-):DYou have more to give, don't give up, keep flying. Its the bravest and mightiest thing any of us can ever do.
And I'd just like to add that, as shallow as it may seem, the thought of the movie coming out in April often keeps me flying.
Take care
Heather

i am sorry. :( i agree with HEB. life has ups and downs. it goes from happy to sad and back again. remember what lorne said about life to the physicist in "happy anniversary":
"it's like a song. now, i can hold a note for a long time. but eventually that's just noise. it's the change we're listening for. the note coming after, and the one after that. that's what makes it music."
i love that line because it is so true. granted, none of us will stop time, but it is important to realize that change is a part of life. that even when things look their darkest, change is always on its way. hang in there.

When one door closes, another opens. And sometimes the one that opens has bigger knockers.

I'm not much for saying comforting things, but I thought I outta tell you that from watching Badger in the episodes and from seeing the pic in your messages every day, I've been inspired and now have a very fine hat of my own. My shiny new bowler came in the mail today

You probably haven't lived *much* if you haven't had your heart broken at least once, and I know that's not much help. I had mine broken a number of times and now I'm married to the most amazing person - who knows?!
If you truly love her FIGHT for her!
That guy, working electric, he never drank with us!

Aww come on, don't think like that. You gotta see what's next.
I don't know anyone who hasn't suffered a broken heart. It'll take time but sooner or later you'll feel like the old jefe.

Badger's Hat:
First of all: Don't even kid around with that "very little reason to go on" stuff. It's self-centered, and I know you're bigger than that, smarter than that. When I say 'self-centered', I don't mean 'egotistical', I mean short-sighted, unable to see beyond this moment.
Think of something devastating that happened to you 5 or 10 years ago. You didn't get the GI Joe with kung fu grip for Christmas... Or you had to settle for second-string on the football team... Or your beloved Cubbies failed to win a Series. All joshing aside, here's the point: Whatever was so crushing to you then hardly seems all that tragic today, does it? That's what I mean by short-sighted.
Take the long view. No quitting. 5 years from now, this memory will still hurt; but you'll have moved on to new joys and miseries.
Second, I'd say you should count yourself lucky. Twice lucky. You're lucky to have been in love, with a girl who was worthy of your love. And you're lucky to have found out that she's a quitter, before you married her. I disagree that you should 'fight' for her affections. Love should never have to be convinced. Love already knows. If she doesn't know, then it's not Love, and you're well away from her.
As much as it hurts to hear it, don't take her back. If she quits you once, she'll quit you again. Like I said, you're lucky you found out now, rather than when you're at your weakest. You know, like if you fell ill, or had to change careers... What if you hadn't found out that she's a quitter until you had a life crisis, and then she decided she wasn't sure about how she felt about you?
I've been in love seven times. Six ended in disappointment; but, they all taught lessons, and informed me. Through the pain, keep an open mind and heart, and try to learn something about yourself in the process.
Hang in there, bud. It doesn't get easier ("Life's a b*tch"), but the journey provides rewards and wonders. There's too much to see and do -- seeing your mother and father in the faces of your children, for instance -- before the final night falls. Don't be in a rush to get it over.
Hell, you might even live to see the Cubbies win it all, if you make it into your nineties...
Perspectively,
zoid
P.S.
Gojiro: I laughed aloud, and my household thought I had finally gone 'round the bend.
Mmmm-a-licious: Remember, we're trying to cheer him up. (*ducks*)

Well that just stinks. Sorry to hear that. When, in the course of similar events, I'll find myself thinking of the break up scene in Stripes. You know the one...where Bill Murry's g/f leaves him ...
Quote:Bill Murry is friggen hilarious, and what better way to get over something than to laugh at it?
She left....and then, depression set in.
Also, I'm fond of that song.... Always look on the bright side of life, from Monty Python's LIFE of BRIAN. That'll cheer ya up, ya ole bugger!
