| Don't withdraw. I've been fumbling. I stumble, but I keep on trying. I don't mind if make errors or fail, as long as I don't replicate it exactly.

| But, through meeting other people and asking for help, I've learned not to replace or remove the negativity, but to complement it: I would love to have the honor of speaking alongside Temple Grandin, even if I look like the worst fool. I kinda share the conditions and views below though: I hate the ... |

| I believe I am here for a reason, but I know I do not ought to be this lonely. If you ask what I believe, I believe in the God of Israel, who created everything in time immemorial, the effects of such event eventually giving rise "designoids" as Richard Dawkins would put it.

| I've been diagnosed five years ago with Asperger's, but I still feel like a newb in everything, in spite of my apparent competence in some things. This would be my first post in my entire time here. And yes, I agree with jpeg about the time that is given to us. I cannot chose my time, only what I do... |
