With others? I'm fine just speaking into the void on my own, for my own. Replying to myself and making the thread even longer--I'm my own audience. It's normal to talk to yourself, y'know? It's like a journal, but not a diary--my life isn't eventful enough. My thoughts are out there, somewhere. It's like a journal.
The heart is one of many organs inside you that function with great persistence and they all work in tandem to keep you alive--with your flaws and all--to the last breath. As we change, our bodies can and will adapt to keep us alive. The human body is cool.
Nothing's perfect, but optimism is nice.
