YOU: I can't believe you aren't published.You really deserve to be. I'm with 76, I'd buy anything you wrote

ME: Thanks honeygloom!
I can totally believe you’re published! Your words scream talent.
That how you make a living? (apologies if that’s too personal…just a curiosity)
I don’t know the first thing about it really. What’s 76?

I wish this is how I made a living. I work in an HVAC office actually. Writing just keeps me from wanting to bash my head against the walls most days. I'm hooked on SM now, it's like my new crack. 76 is mari76sgirl(I think, I might be getting it wrong, but it's something like that)

Good title! I expected it might be funny from the title, which it isn't, but still, the title got me to click on it, so it did it's job.

Very well-written! It's a sad character sketch, really vivid. Morbid, real, cutting. It's so sad that people think drugs that hurt can help, that no one deserves to be happy, they'd rather give these hurtful, horrible poisons and say, "having a life worth living is a luxury." Not "you deserve to be happy". Not "seize teh **** day and take what you want". Just you have to "cope with depression" which is **** because if you reject all their lies and seize the day, you don't. But they want to hurt. They don't want you to make money trading options, they don't want you to prove them wrong, to prove that you don't have to deal with depression. They lead their horrible, sad little lives, and they hurt people because the feel trapped. I hate them.

You definitely captured the evil of the mental health industry here! Makes me want to go kill someone... but exposing their lies by being successful taking the opposite of their advice is better than killing them. (At least I keep telling myself that).

Dark, dark subject, and clearly you captured it well.

This is my favorite part about writing. I didn't mean any of that, but I LOVE that that's what you got out of it.
