First of all, since this is my first post, I would like to thank the dear reader for its time reading this at all!
First about me…I am 20 years old, and attend university where I study engineering. Relationships never worked out for me. Long distance was the one that really lasted more than a year. Anyhow, I do not want to talk about my break up or anything like that. It is not relevant.
What I would like to talk about are opportunities. What are you doing with your life? Why are you still here? What makes you keep going?
You are in the middle of the ocean, currently 10 foot deep in the cold water. Short on air, you know, if you do not do something you will not survive. But what if you manage to reach the surface? What will await you? Nothing. Nobody is ever going to miss us. Everyone uses you for something, just as much you use people for your own enjoyment or satisfaction. Sometimes out of need, sometimes because you must.
Where is this all going? Once you reached the surface, the water is still cold. You can not see any islands in the near, nor any ships. Water everywhere. The sight calms you. Acceptance overflows your senses. You finally start to realize, everything is as it should be. Billion years ago, stars collided and planets formed just for you. So that you can experience this, right here right now. Everyhing that ever existed, existed for you. For you to be born and for you to be gone.
Since the water is really cold, you breath slowly. The blue sky is smilling upon you, opening its doors. Telling you that there is a space and time, where you can live trully as you always wanted to. Where everyone will accept you as you are, where there will be no judgement nor will be any justifications needed.
Far away, you see some light. Maybe a ship. Maybe, if right now you gave your best shot you might have a chance to find out. But do you really care that much?

Ick… I’ve always hated the water, except as a means to see babes in their bikinis and go for a fish (so not related to each other lol) so…yeah I do like the water, just not when you put it like that.
I ain’t doing shit with my life, man. I’ve done my fill. I’m here because dude…THEY’RE WATCHING ME MAAAAN… Only thing that keeps me going is the thought of having a daughter of my own some day. But that’s all it is; a thought.
Also: you should get the award for “longest sustained long distance relationship” or the equivalent accolade. But in my experience, they never work out. But hey, thanks for sharing, bud. Peace be with you.
Thank you very much for your reply! I will upload some of my thoughts soon again, feel free to check them out if you wish to.
You said, nobody is ever going to miss us.” It’s not about them. It never was and it never will be. Sometimes I wish it was. Truth us, it’s about us.
