welcome to the depressing shit show
“when everyone’s in their dreams
i’m fighting sleep
trying to fill my void
replace the obsolete
nothing works for me anymore
nothing makes sense to me anymore
the whys and shouldn’t I’s
the what ifs and what should’ve beens
i’m picking myself apart
making myself bleed
i’m tearing myself apart seam by seam
there must be a purpose in me
the little girl i was would say so at least
each day passes and i’m becoming more bleak
what is joy?
where is everlasting peace?
i’m supposed to be happy
i’m supposed to be me
but i haven’t seen her in weeks
these mundane motions
i’m supposed to be content with these?
i’m grinding my teeth
dragging my feet
why should i go on if i don’t want what’s here for me?
i used to have dreams
now all i see are distractions
there are no dreams
everyone is oblivious to the schemes
this life is cruel with flashes of glee
i don’t want to succumb to the norms
the temporaries just aren’t for me”
— please tell me these feelings aren’t just my own
I exist, that is all, and I find it nauseating.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Albert Camus
What’s the point of being alive? All you are supposed to do is work until you die, if you are lucky and I mean if you are fucking lucky, you will get a couple weeks off work a year. Is this supposed to be the thing making life so precious? All the stress, disappointment, responsibilities, hopelessness and pain for a few days off? If that’s what life is going to be for the next 50 years, I would rather be dead than live it.
“I could be doing “fine” but as soon as a small inconvenience happens, I am right back at the suicidal tendencies because I realise how much life sucks and how useless I am.”—
“I feel like I am so far behind in life that I will never catch up. Everybody is doing so many things with their lives and I am just here.. achieving nothing. I wonder if that’s all I will ever be, nothing.”—
“I don’t know how to do this anymore. I don’t know how to get better. My head is a dark place and it only gets worse, day by day. and I have no idea how to stop the darkness from coming in. I have no idea how to save myself anymore.”—
“I want to start feeling like myself again.”— Unknown
