Oh wow. I didn't know you could be that open about smoking weed @redpossum. Brave :)
It seem that you're going through difficult time in your life. Or am I wrong? Your post is quite depressing.
Is it very difficult to reach that age? Sometimes I wonder how is it once I hit 50. Perhaps you could share with me experience from your life in past few years. What things are important for you. What do you value? I would really like to hear.
We know that no-one is listening, but we must speak through what we write
That sound so very very sad ...
ps.
I just discovered "love death +robots" on netflix. Did you see it? Perhaps you can find it interesting. It's very unique and you may either like it or hate it.

All of Argentina is "going through a difficult time". I am in Argentina, and I have the soul of a poet. How can I not suffer? Besides, are you not aware that great art arises from great suffering? ;)
As far as my compulsion to write being "sad", the only sad part is that my work is so poorly rewarded. If that little green number at the bottom of my article, to the left of the number of votes, was showing $60.00 instead of $0.06, I would be one happy marsupial.
And yes, I have seen Love, Death +Robots. I have watched the first 5 or 6 episodes, and I found it mildly amusing, but the short story isn't my thing, (with the lone exception of Anton Chekov). I like long movies and thick books. I like the old fashioned style of story-telling, in which time is spent on character development and the tension builds slowly to the climax, followed by a proper denouement.
Dear @redpossum
I surely wasn't aware. First time Im hearing those words. But then I have no clue about art and poetry. Not my pair of shoes.
Cheers, Piotr
