I would like to say that I love despair.com. I first discovered it when Lisa posted a picture on her blog from there.

This was the picture:




From the first moment I clicked on that site, I have felt at home. I think a lot of people would go there and feel worse aferwords.

Me, I feel so much better after I read all those demotivators. I think there are a few reasons why I love them so much.

One reason is that they remind me that everyone elses life is crap, not just mine. It helps me to not feel alone. It reiterates that those of us on the verge of going crazy are the majority and that makes me happy.

The other main reason is that I find them all hysterical, yes, but true as well. The side of my personality that hates EVERYTHING, and I really do mean EVERYTHING, eats this stuff up. That pessimistic, sarcastic side reads these little phrases and it serves almost like reinforcement that she is right after all.

And like I already said, I think they are hysterically funny.

My sense of irony loves them because they are called "demotivators" yet they don't demotivate me, they don't make me feel worse, they make me feel better. I love it.

So, anyway, my tribute to despair, which we all feel at times. In moments of despair I have felt very alone. Thanks to this website, I'll never have that problem again.

Oh, and if anyone wants to know what's on my Christmas list, I can tell you, every single one of the demotivators. :)
