I'm not such a nuisance to the world, and the kick I get out of living can, I suppose, justify the impositions I make on it. But when life isn't so fun, well, then I start to wonder. What's the point of going on if it's just trouble for us both? My friends will miss me, I am told.

Practically everybody knows what it's like to feel anxious, worried, nervous, afraid, uptight, or panicky.

David D. Burns
Here lies a nuisance dedicated to sanity.

My problems are sort of more on a nuisance level. I can't stand scratchy clothes, I've got to have soft kinds of cotton against my skin, and I don't know why some 100% cotton t-shirts itch and others don't; it has something to do with the weave.
Of course, my faith has a lot to do with being able to be public without being a public nuisance.
