Have you ever felt like the Universe is trying to tell you something? Do you ever feel the hand and presence of Jehovah guiding every action of your life and whispering in your ear? If so, click

A while ago I mentioned I had been thinking about death and the meaning of life. There were some reasons for that which I will get to. But yesterday I was driving happily to a friends house to do some of the nerdy things we enjoy. I was about to drive through my green light, while traveling at the legal speed limit of 55 mph when some jerk coming the other way decides he's going to try and make a left turn, he then slowed down and I think he even stopped right in front of me. I slammed on my breaks and missed/stopped short of hitting him by maybe a foot. I didn't think was going to stop in time, my life flashed before my eyes, and I faced my past in all it's "glory."
I remembered that I had promised to write about this kind of stuff, and I "felt" like it was divine inspiration. Also, fuck you Manipulator...scared the piss out of me. Please read on if you'd like to read my thoughts on life, working through depression and tragedy, and finding personal meaning. There will be multiple parts so I can draw this out...as well as elaborate on points I feel are helpful. This is for you guys. I came up with this idea because I was reading a bunch of blogs that seemed so sad and down, hopeless even. Unfortunately what is to come will be painful, but ultimately uplifting and strengthening.
