silly birds... - August 9th 2009, 11:47 PM

Alright, so when my whole depression / I'm alone / potential suicide thought process started, I was really down on myself. I felt like I had nothing to live for, so one of my friends suggested finding something to live for.

I now own 2 parakeets that are fully my responsibility.

these birds are quite possibly the cutest things in the world. one is bluish-silver, and named Ika. the other is White and black and named Lena. Ika is pretty level headed. she will chirp when she is happy, and be quiet when she is not. Lena, on the other hand, will be quiet when she is happy, and screech if she is not. You would imagine this would get on my nerves, but whenever Lena starts getting too loud, Ika will go over and preen Lena (rub her feathers with her beak) until she calms down. I love these two, and taking care of them has given my life a purpose. I can no longer think about suicide when I know that these two wouldn't get their daily food and water.

I suppose there really isn't much point to this post, but if you are ever down on yourself, try getting a pet if you feel responsible enough. It has changed my life.

That's awesome. They sound like an awesome pair. I'm glad you found a way out of suicidal thoughts, pets really are awesome.

I am glad that your pets were able to help you. I know my pets have helped me through some rough times too.

There could never be amore beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguisesandhoops they make you jump through
You were made tofill a purposethat only you could do
So there could never be amore beautiful you
-Johnny Diaz


Everyday
is so wonderful
And suddenly it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, I feel so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?

'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
-Christina Aguilera

I am happy to hear that. I have two parakeets myself and, while the get on my nerves from time to time with an occasional squawking session, I love watching them play and take care of each other. They are truly beautiful animals, and their singing and chirping brings joy to every one of my days. I am glad such amazing animals could bring some happiness and purpose to yours. =]
