Imagination.
Imagine having no spouse, no significant other. Nobody that gives a shit whether you live, or die.
Imagine losing your house, or rather having it taken from you on the whims of others. Imagine this happening multiple times.
Imagine your children scoffing at your efforts, your love, your time, your value in their lives. Imagine living as a money tree, only visited when the fruits of your efforts are desirable pickings.
Imagine not being worthy of friendship, companionship, or love. You know this through constant and consistent demonstration.
Imagine being shunned by coworkers and peers. You are not enough. You are weird. Why do you wear that hat freak?
Imagine your only pseudo friend to be the Devils Dandruff, what an idiot you are.
Now imagine meeting a new friend. One that promises to make it all go away. She courses through your veins, offering instant relief to your suffering. You know where she leads you. But as she beckons you towards your final resting place, it all becomes clear. This is all you have. Her name may be heroin, but to you, she’s an actual heroine. A woman of superhuman qualities.
The end.

I got half way through and thought “did he meet heroin?”
I’m sorry you met her. She lies.
Her lies have not proven to be half as painful as the truths of others. I truly never thought I could be “this guy”. A person can only give so much, and be beaten down so often. I guess many others have higher thresholds of being resilient. Que sera sera.
Nothing seems to get better in this world. No matter how hard you try to be positive, when you feel you have no one, no one who cares, no shoulder to cry on… It just all seems so fucking worthless. Then you wonder… Why the fuck am I still here?
I’m on the verge of making friends with two guys named Alcohol and Weed. Lately, they seem like the only ones who can help me cope and make me feel better, even if it is for those few hours. I hate feeling like shit.
Yeah, I just don’t have the answer! I definitely hear what you’re saying. I’m amazed at how easily people can use others, and just not care at all. It seems that maybe the only way to be truly happy, is to be selfish and not give a shit about anyone but yourself. Sad, indeed.
