I have anything to contribute because of people like you and so many others who express what I am
feeling far better than I ever could. I am not a good writer. I have tons of troubles trying to express my thoughts in ways you can understand what I am trying desperately to say. You and so many others are what keeps me lurking here! Maybe one day I will figure out how to express myself where it makes sense, but until that time you are needed. Do not give up, do not give in... we all get tired and frustrated and wonder whether or not it is worth it. I do not know whether it is worth it or not, but I do know if I sit and do nothing, then I deserve nothing.
