Love this ugly little world we’ve created. Â The only purpose is to screw, eat, sleep, get drunk, get high, and go to work. Â I was lied to. Â I grew up looking at both grandparents, paternal and fraternal–genuinely in love with each other and marriages that lasted over 60 years each. Â I thought I could have that. Can’t anymore. Â You’ve completely sicked up sex so much, it’s nothing but pointless empty monkey humping. Â No love, no respect, no dignity. Â It’s a sick public farce. Â And it’s all about party party party. Â Empty. Â Pointless. Â I’m supposed to fill up 60 to 80 of that mindless garbage?
Can’t find anyone to talk to. Â Nobody gives a damn. Â Emotionally detached, sexually deranged, nobody cares about anything but themselves and money and the next lay. Â That’s a monkey. Â The only thing a monkey needs to make it happy is a banana and another monkey. Â There’s no inside to your outside. Â How can you just walk around completely empty like that and that doesn’t make you want to run screaming into the night?? Â Do you have any idea how long you’re going to be here?? Â An ape wouldn’t get bored with that garbage–most species only live about 20 or 30 years. Â You’re going to live almost triple that. Â How the hell do you fill up that many years with absolutely nothing???
So my life is just a circle. Â I’m alive so I’m making bills–the meter’s constantly ticking away: food, rent, electric, oil, gas, water. Â And the sole purpose of my life is to go to work to pay the bills that I’m making. Â I work so I can pay my rent so that I have a place to live so that I can go to work so I can pay my rent so that I have a place to live so that I can work…ad infinitum.
I serve NO purpose. No one depends on me for anything. Â Back in the day, they realized that left you feeling empty. Â Now you’re just supposed to run around self-indulgent, self-centered, and self-absorbed. Â Tell someone that actually knows you that you are crying and bawling everyday, and need someone to talk to, and watch them run. Â And you get worse and worse and worse, and they sit there and watch you do it. Â And don’t give a damn.
If you need someone to talk to, you are shoved at a therapist who is a total stranger with only a clinical interest in your life and problems. Â Yes, please send your dirty laundry out for a fluff and fold. Â I needed someone to talk to, and got a few bumper stickers and a shove. Â Maybe you didn’t hear me. Â I said I NEEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TO. Â Tried the therapist thing. Â Got pills that didn’t work and got asked a bunch of questions I already said had not thing one to do with what’s bothering me. Â Two different therapists. Â And I just get worse and worse and worse.
If you have someone in your life that ended their life, and you weren’t there when they needed to talk, like that was any kind of unreasonable request, don’t blame them.
Three years of this crap. Â I need a sense of purpose, I need someone to talk to, and I need to matter to somebody.
Strike one, strike two, strike three. Â No more of this garbage. Â You know what just goes around and around in circles like that? Â A dog chasing its own tail. Â We waste each other. Â We shove each other away. Â We use each other for toilets and then get on facebook. Â Are you kidding me??? Â That’s a life?? Â I’m going to get what I can out of this summer as far as fishing on the river and then I’m done. Â You strip all meaning from life and then wonder there are so many of us running for the door. Â If someone wants out, get the hell out of their way.

Great post. I agree with all of it. I knew there were certain fairy tales and lies growing up, santa claus, the easter bunny, etc, but I didn’t realize I was believing in another myth all along when I was life was going to be special, life was going to have purpose, I was going to have good, meaningful friends to sit in the yard with and barbecue, and love is real, and I’m going to meet some great girl to start a family with, and I’m going to have a job that I enjoy and makes me feel like I’m doing something for the world. I didn’t realize when you hit a certain age, all of that stuff becomes a story you fell for too.
You hit the nail on the head, work so you can spend money so you can get bills in the mail so you can go to work. And when you tell someone that it doesn’t make sense to you, they say “well it might not be perfect, but everyone else in the world is out there doing it. What makes you so special?”.
I don’t know where to find meaning in this world. I hate to sound like an old grouch, but all these stupid movies that come out, all this garbage music, as you said, it’s all just to keep people spending money and sleeping with each other and going to work.
Amen (and not in any religious sense, I’m not a believer), to both. I am going through or have gone through all of that and then some. And then I feel like for most things in my life I have no choice or control over. And if you tell any ‘normal’ person about how you are feeling and it’s a choice or something that you want to actually have control of people tell you to see a therapist, as you said, or even “you’re crazy”. Yeah. That really helps.
