Sometimes I do envy other people, especially if they are thin, attractive, and have a career getting paid for things they actually enjoy and are talented at doing. I'll be lucky if anyone still remembers me after I'm dead. I really hate the thought of all my cartoons and crafts being thrown away like worthless garbage because they weren't passed down to someone else. 
Well, at least I have some ice cream in the freezer.

Never go to bed angry, remember to tell my family I love them, hold doors open for people, put carts away, random stuff like that. I have found the thing that makes me feel the best is making other people happier, or making their lives even just a little bit easier. It's weird. I mean, I still feel the depression, but I know I own it, it doesn't own me anymore. Does that make sense?
Yeah, this goes-along with what I was saying, before, about helping people----even, just really simple, little things, like the putting-the-cart-away thing..... The other day, I did that, as I always do, at the grocery store, and a guy who worked there, thanked me, and I wondered why he was thanking me; so, *I* said, "ThankYOU!" LOL I thought he was doing that thing where an employee will thank you for your custom----then, in my ret*d Aspie fashion, I realized why he was thanking me, and said: "Oh----you're welcome!" LOL
To me, it's the little things in life, for which I'm so appreciative----like, if someone just has manners, they're, pretty much, "gold", with me!
Also, I wanted to comment on your "I know I own it, it doesn't own me anymore" comment----that's a VERY wise attitude, IMO----GOOD job!!
Thanks, again, for the great posts!
I suppose in some ways I envy those who can handle a simple compliment... haha...
Compliments make me feel bad. I'm not awesome, I'm just me, and I'm just trying to make the world nicer, learn everything I can to make my own life better, and that should just be... normal. Not special or worthy of praise
I dunno. I just don't seem to understand compliments, lol. People tell me all the time I should just say "Thank you."
So thank you, Campin_Cat and auntblabby. lol...

That reminds me, I'm also envious of those who have mastered a musical instrument, especially one that can be used in a rock band.
