Lets face it. I do not have exciting exhibitions of courage and bravery to spill onto this webpage. There are no stories of love and loss that I can share. I am almost certain that 99% of the things that I say will be completely disregarded and forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet, here I am.... still writing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think even though there is nothing interesting about my life, I just want someone to care. There is an urge to have someone want to know every minute detail of my life. I want someone to care when I am sad. I want someone to feel sorry for me when a tragedy happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not interesting to think about all the people I am willing to trust with this job. Creeps, perverts, friends, and foes can all access my inner thoughts, but I do not care if they are enemies, they care enough to hate me. Its not that I am a narcissistic freak, I simply just want someone to be effected by my existence. My biggest fear is becoming the blur name Whatshisname in everyone&#39;s memory. I do not want to be forgotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But once again, my life is boring. I have nice friends, good grades, a hobbie. I am a cliche&#39;. Either way, if you are reading this, do not forget about me. Being forgotten is a bigger insult to life than suicide, than atheism, than rape. Being forgotten is like not existing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do exist.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://josephburleson.blogspot.com/feeds/3474549350242605212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://josephburleson.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-do-exist.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/143257116791969262/posts/default/3474549350242605212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/143257116791969262/posts/default/3474549350242605212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://josephburleson.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-do-exist.html' title='I do exist.'/><author><name>Joseph Burleson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14102808800206994647</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiLFabvhZbX5UtLxpUUO4j2AR-k7b3bLp_pKlYDE2ed2Vws4YIoQO4xWJyfk5nkVcE3hXa8sBWuvnqINj2jSoqSuLdn3lisVOyKmqMoRzDzEIIlG5iOfkCHZ5ZY7JVNQ/s1600-r/n1069217403_84991_1458.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
