I want to overcome the depression that has haunted my life for over twenty years so that I can find out what "normal" people feel like.

I think you mean legacy. A legend is a story that was originally based on facts, but has been told so often and embellished so much that it bears little resemblance to the actual event. Example: Johnny Appleseed.
Mine sounds selfish. I want to find that which makes me happiest. At this point it's my writing, whether it's journal entries or fictional stories. I want to spend time studying the craft, learning from it, and then applying it so it shows how I truly am--not how I'm perceived by others, but the innermost me. If I can reach others and have them say that's exactly what they meant or how they felt, great. That would fulfill a dream of giving to others. If it doesn't turn out that way because of a recurring illness or should my life be shortened, then I would like my family--especially the descendants--to be able to read about me, my life as a historical document, my perspectives on the world I grew up in and now reside in, a psychological/sociological study that might shed light on my behaviors or that of others I have witnessed.
I don't want my epitaph to say "she came, she saw, she conquered." Rather, I'd like it to be "she was, she listened, she challenged."

As an evil conservative my goal is to poison the oceans, pollute the air and pour bleach on my lawn.

Have you been reading James Hillman books by any chance?
They are good aren't they?

To serve my God well so that upon my arrival, He smiles and greets me with a kiss and a big hug...!
