Running out of time for what, sweety?

Getting your painting done?

how did you do that?

everything. too much to do.

Um, how did I do what? :-)

I was on a rest break from the meeting that took up most of the last five hours ...

There's definitely not enough time for "everything". :-)

You'll need to prioritize.

can't do that.

Well, if you can choose suicide, you can choose something to do instead. Anything at all, in fact, would probably be better.

why is that? (

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

You can't do that if you're dead.

but i'm tired of trying.

Then rest, and try again later.

Dead isn't resting. It's never coming back.

yeah but nothing gets better when i try.

"Nothing"?

Some things have gotten better, at least sometimes.

And as they say in the stock market, "past performance is no guarantee of future profit." Maybe as you keep trying, you'll gradually learn how to do it better.

Certainly, if you stop trying, you'll never make things better.

but i'm running out of time and i can't do it marky (

Running out of time for what, sweety?

Can we break it down, one at a time?

And, what happens if you don't make it in time? There has to be a way to survive, even if you're late.

i don't want to talk about it here.
