> > I fear growing old, I think about it a lot (the end) I know I should not as I am still very young, but it is like…I am sick? I go to the doc…I am old…nothing. People tell me not to fear something you can not change…I just can not not fear it. I ask myself a lot, what is the point? I don’t want to make all of these friends just so we can part ways at the end of the road.

Ugh, you people know what sucks very, very much?

Depression.

This one agrees.

Well if you need any help we’re all here for you.

Depression is a funny disease in a sense that, no matter what you do, it never truly leaves you.

A statement has never been so true!

That is indeed true, but you can make yourself feel better it is just really hard…when I get down (to the point of tears) I talk to friends and/or write about it here. Something about others knowing how I feel makes me happy (it also helps that our fellow Spartans are a really caring bunch). I am saying all of this because maybe doing these things could help you. I choose not to hold in my sadness because it seems to make it worse.

Just know that whatever road you walk, you are never walking alone.

Moving off campus is a lot of fun and makes you feel older but in a good way. You are now a sophomore right…? Well I hope I see you in game soon enough! I’ve been playing Titanfall lately so you know where to find me :slight_smile:

Right… I remember we talked about going to college last year. Time has really flown by, the whole college experience flies by. I’m going in to my senior year (part II) aka my 5th year. Didn’t have my final major until junior/senior year. Living off campus is a blast, especially if its with at least one close friend.

I forgot you were also in that boat cobra. I forget the varying ages on these forums every now and then.

This one agrees as well.

Depression is like quicksand.

It pulls you down, down, down, into a fate of darkness and hatred.

But one day a hand will appear to pull you out.
Yours.

@Kit’s post on the previous page because I’m too lazy to quote it:

> Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.

We are only blessed with this experience called life for a little while, and make the most of every moment.
Have a laugh with friends.
Have a crush.
Be happy.
Be sad.
Then be picked back up again by your friends.

You are never truly alone in this world, there will always be somebody or their conscience by your side.

You can be daring, veer of the beaten path, make new friends, and experience things you never would have before.

And true friends will always be there. No matter how many times you think you’ve raged at them, no matter how many times you think you’ve been a jerk to them, friends are the ones who won’t let that phase them, friends are the ones who are still there after you think you’ve shot them down.

Life is a gift. Being human is a gift. Heck, if reincarnation does exist, you could be the kit fox (yes, there is a such thing) that eats me as a vole for all I know.

So make the most of every moment you have here on this planet. In this life. As yourself. Make someone’s day, see 'em smile, or hear 'em laugh, and let the feeling that you’ve done be cherished. You make an impact, no matter who small.

Yup, been through pretty much all of that. My friendship group is small, but they are the best I could ever hope for.

So I think this is the final Halo 3 Easter Egg found.

I need $150 by the end of this month and I am not going to have it. So I probably won’t have internet for a while.

Trying to convince my brother to invite bs angel to his Eagle Scout ceremony. He sent one to Marty…as well as a lot others. Someone give me a good response to convince him.

Hi Yiaz I posted it in the halo 3 fourm took me some time to see the Easter egg thou.

3635

> Stuff.

> Stuff.

I appreciate both of these posts, but i must confess, after reading both of them for the first time, my response wasn’t positive.

Its not because of you 2, its just because of me being so -Yoink!- cynical, and tired of all these advices.

In 8 years, ive heard way too many advices like these, and yet nothing has changed.

Damn, this starts to sound 2edgy4me.

Good Morning Everyone! How’s Waypoint today?

Has anyone been able to choose their platform choice for the Destiny beta yet? I still haven’t gotten an email.

Edit: Nevermind. I guess I just have to wait for there site to update. They said you would be able to choose via the Profile page.

I knew someone would have already posted it. Took me forever to notice and I only saw Lauren.

I saw just befor Lauren but fair play to the person that found it.

I don’t notice anything until the word “Day” appears. Can’t seem to see “Happy Birth” portion of the message.

I understand that frustration.
