My younger self would probably find me registering to this site both trivial and selfish. Why am I selfish? Why do my peers and contemporaries deem it selfish to want to end all this? No, they’re selfish for wanting to keep the hollow vessel which has become my very being here and pretending that everything is copacetic. Well it’s not and hasn’t been for so long and for just as long I’ve been pretending everything is okay. I don’t have the will to kill myself but I desperately want out. Everyday is exactly the same. Sure we can try to throw spontaneity in place of the daft stasis but it doesn’t truly take away the ailments. Everything is becoming insignificant. I find no joy in any of it. Daily responsibilities and my young adult life choices are becoming transparent. I’m on autopilot and though I may reciprocate in simple formalities and conversation with people, it’s simply an automated reply. I wish I had the will to end my consciousness, I romanticize the very thought of it. Instead I patiently wait for it’s mercy. It doesn’t matter. Many feel the same way I do. Millions of people crying underwater. Everyone is a victim. I’m no different. No catalyst, no martyr. The sun will hit my window tomorrow and I’ll awake the same way. Waiting for resolve.

Hey I understand, I’m so sick of life but I can’t kill myself, I mean I could if I had a gun because to me thats the only 100% way. But I understand your post. I’m here. I could really use a friend.
Sorry you feel like you’re going through the motions but never getting to a good place. You are correct that there are many, many people feeling the same way. It is sad for you and it is sad for them. And me. I too feel like what is the point?
But I am trying to get to a better place. I’m not going to give up. Not after all this time- 20+. I’ve come to understand that my life is my own. It is not all those people who have left me in the dust. It is not all the adventures that I am not having.
It is me. Living, breathing right now. It is me in what I choose to face or not face. And it is all alright whether I realize/understand/ believe or not.
I am wishing for a bit of that morning sun to touch YOU.
Take great care of YOU.
