Kind of reminds me of my feelings of the year 2000, new millennium celebrations.
Why is 2000 rotations around the sun more significant that 1999 rotations or 2001 rotations?

Yeah, yeah, so I was much more of a boor back then :tongue:

How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on . . . when in your heart you begin to understand . . . there is no going back?

may be relevant for 4s for whom depression is an issue:

"Saying someone can't be sad because someone else may have it worse
is like saying someone can't be happy because someone else may have it better."

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

On the sense of the self as somehow "lacking" or deficient, and on the ironies of envy:

“We often feel that we lack something, and seem to see that very quality in someone else, promptly attributing all our own qualities to him too, and a kind of ideal contentment as well. And so the happy mortal is a model of complete perfection--which we have ourselves created.”

– Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther

"I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony."

- Elizabeth Wurtzel (author of a few annoying books including Prozac Nation, and occasional contributor of foolish screed to The Atlantic and other shitty magazines.)

"Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no whenever you don't want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you're doing here. Believe in kissing."

-Eve Ensler

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Nobody can be great if they have never been small. Only great difficulty and great suffering in life make way for great people.
As the precious stone becomes polished through being struck and worn down, man, to awaken, is polished through suffering.

“Do you take pride in your hurt? Does it make you seem large and tragic? Well, think about it. Maybe you’re playing a part on a stage with only yourself as audience.”
— John Steinbeck, “East of Eden”

pretty negative - and I don't mean anything by it - but when I read it I immediately thought of unhealthy 4s.

Hey! How dare you?! Are you implying our suffering doesn't have roots in reality? Playing a part on stage for myself? Let me play out my reaction towards your statement:

:alttongue: But seriously I got to admit you've pretty much nailed it with that quote :D
