it’s amazing how they told me, when i was younger, that i won’t feel this way forever. They always told me that it will get better and that i should stay strong. Well, I can’t stay strong forever and things are only getting worse. I don’t know how long I can hold on…
I remember talking to a friend about the way i felt. They answered “Maybe life just isn’t for you.” This broke me but maybe they were right…All I know now is that it had never gotten better, so why would it now?

there’s the story of ….I forget the name of the baseball pitcher….but it was the bottom of the ninth, one man on first and the pitchers team was up by a run. The number 4 hitter was at the plate. The pitching coach called time out and ran out to his pitcher. He said, “This guys a home run hitter and he likes it high and outside. DON’T throw it high and outside. He’ll hit it out of the park.”
So, the pitcher is thinking…’can’t throw it high and outside, NOT high, NOT outside.’ He winds up and throws the pitch exactly where he’s thinking…High and outside. Batter crushed it out of the park for a two run walk off home run.
You can’t dwell on the reverse of what you want.
Self fulfilling prophesy. Still I think there is a lot more going on than that.
🙁 Doesn’t seem like a very good friend to be telling you, “life maybe just isn’t for you.”
Friends are suppposed to help us, not drag us down.
And though they may be right, it doesn’t help in any scenario, whatsoever.
It sounds like something someone would say out of frustration that they really didn’t mean. A lot of times people just don’t know what to say or how to word things right to people who are depressed.
