Mork

"I used to think the worst thing in life is to end of alone.  It's not.  The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone."  -Robin Williams

Robin Williams is dead.  This guy entertained me my whole life, making movies that were wonderful and that sucked and that lived somewhere in the middle - the story of every person's life.  Sometimes we're amazing, and sometimes we aren't.  The worst part is that while he was making the rest of us laugh, he was struggling to even keep it together.

I feel his pain.  Every, single day ... I feel the same way.  I don't really want to hang myself with a belt, but that's only because I'm a female, and women tend to choose less violent ways to end their lives.

But Robin, let me tell you - I chose to marry someone who makes me feel all alone every single day.  And I can't get out of this muddy shithole.  Being alone when you're with other people is the worst thing ever.  And I get it:  Robin Williams just said that line in a movie, but sometimes the dialogue in a movie (as delivered by an amazing actor) is more real than the everyday conversations I get with the people who surround me every day.

Life is strange.  People are strange. I'm in a losing battle with myself.
