# alright, well

[The English Way (Fightstar)](http://exigraff.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/03-Fightstar-The-English-Way.mp3)

Alright. In the spirit of vomiting up your soul into a textbox for your own sake, here we are.

Parenthetical: I'm aware that none of this is unique or special or anything. It's the product of sitting in a corner for too long with the lights off, so to speak.

"You", as used below, refers to everyone I've known and loved. Oh melodrama. It's alright, I've taken the liberty of scorning this ahead of time.

There's a very deep self-loathing that I can't get over, despite repeated assurances that I'm 'a great guy'. To you, I may be a great guy. I'll bend over backwards for you, open my wallet and do whatever I can for you with complete disregard for self. This is selfless by definition, yeah, and on the other end people seem to like it. It's because I care so much more for you than for me. Your schedule, your priorities, I play second string and it's because I have and am nothing, apart from what I can do for you and with you. I have no self-worth.

I hate that I have to do this, write this out.

This is probably in part why I have no personal goals. I realized this the other day, I have no ambitions, nothing to follow, no dreams. I could pick an arbitrary set and go for it, sure, but I'm led to believe that these are the sort of things that people are supposed develop instinctively, born of who they are.

And fuck, I don't know. I'm doing my best to remain halfway interested in passing my classes, let alone get a degree.

So. Please be patient with me. (You are, what am I saying, all of you are.) Yes, I'm stuck in a mindset and I know that and I fucking hate myself for it (circular progression, awesome). Maybe someday it'll be better.

*I will never give up on you*\
*for all the times you*\
*sat and sang to me*\
*trying to make me better*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.isaacbowen.com/2010/03/04/alright-well.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
