Not much to say. I by some miracle made it through the first semester. Online English class went from 18 to 73%, the others just low-mid eighties. Nothing great, but it’s done. Didn’t deserve to pass the online class due to procrastinating as hard as I did and using too much “help” from ai tools that somehow wasn’t caught or wasn’t significant enough to be caught. As for everything else, nothing I created was wow worthy. Wasn’t anything. Not the ideas or the execution. Being around actually talented and skilled people, creative people, make me wonder what the hell I’m doing there. I’m not looking […]

Hey SP. I’ve been on this site for the worst part of the last 9 years. Does it get better? Have I had good moments? Yeah, I’ve had great moments. But the lows are so low, I’ll admit, it’s hard to stay positive sometimes. I lost my dad a month ago… and took less than a week off of school for it… I’m not okay. My dad and I had a complicated relationship, but beyond it all, we were very close. I’m having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel here. Is there even a light? Who knows. I’m grasping […]

They finally seem to got their shit together. I was given all my training modules after asking and asking. They’re heartbreakingly boring and I can feel my brain leaking out of my ears. Just 8 straight hours a day of reading power points and watching videos. Towards the end I just started skipping to the end test cause I couldn’t be fucking bothered. All of which contain questions that are either common sense, super obvious, or super specific measurements for an equipment part. That will bite me in the ass. I still have like 10 more modules […]

I might soon get fired over a stupid legality. Which is totally fine by me. I’ll let it escalate and act confrontational because I’m all set for a year ending self-destructive spree. Being on payroll is too much of an incentive to put off killing myself for a rainy day that never comes.

I did the thing I said I’d do once I moved out. I singed up for a dating app. I hated every minute of it. I don’t talk to people. I like being by myself. Sort of. I do feel lonely, bit I’ve kinda gotten used to it. Just avoid people and you don’t feel like that.

The process was confusing and painful. It don’t like taking pictures. I don’t even like looking in the mirror. But I needed pics. I don’t like talking about myself, but I needed something to put on there. […]

How to, how do you make peace with life?

what are you supposed to do when you know that death is your only option?

i feel the answer is obvious, yet something inside me refuses to believe it. i know that its mainly fear, of the action and of the unknowable consequences. i think i care too much. a lot of times, i wish that i could care less so that it may be easier to go through with it.
i believe i genuinely have nothing going for me. i am an academic failure. i lose jobs after half a year maximum. i now feel like i cant commit to finding a new […]

I’m exhausted. I’m always hurting. I dont think I can do this much longer.

This world is too serious for me

The title. I finished watching the training videos yesterday. The only way I can continue is to get an email for more training. My email isn’t set up. The only one who can set it up is my manager. But my manager isn’t the section manager. It isn’t the department manager. It is the regional manager. For some reason. Someone who isn’t even working at our plant. The other managers contacted him to set up a ticket which he did. And they sent in their own ticket. It still isn’t done. I’m […]

How to accept loneliness and boredom as normal

Day 2 is done. I’ve only had this job two days and both felt like a thousand years. To be fair it’s because I’ve done nothing but watch training videos. Stuff I really should retain, but I can’t be bothered to memorize all the different labels and permits and procedures. We don’t have a roof crane. Why do I need to know how to operate a roof crane? But it’s my job to know these things. In order to excel at my job I need to memorize how to lock out a conveyor belt and the safety measures […]

I think I’m destined for abuse and to be hurt by others. My parents made sure how much they hated me and wanted me to fail. When they kicked me out, I thought my friend – turned boyfriend – would lead me to a softer life. I guess it was the naive of youth that would think a 21 year old man I met on the internet would genuinely love me. After the teenage pregnancies and subsequent abortions and supporting him financially for years, I decided to return to education. I discovered how twisted he is compared to the people on campus. Maybe I always […]

Do you have a diagnosis? If so, what is it/are they?

It’s sad when I let myself think about it. I know it’s my fault. People leave me a lot, some in kinder ways than others. Friends that just started ignoring me, my best friend of four years who spilled part of a really important secret that I would have killed myself over had I not been able to convince my parents otherwise. But I push people away too. Honestly, it’s probably better for them that way. I don’t want to be more of a burden, and I always seem to end up hurting people. I know I don’t deserve friends, but it still hurts. I […]

That can seize one in the evening, the evening edging towards night. When one remembers the horror  of saying something really stupid, ridiculously fucking stupid ,cringe worthy fucking stupid , earlier in the day. I’ve said and done ridiculous things. The fucking worst being an episode of weeping. Public weeping. I had to stand in front of the class at the age of 8 I can’t remember what exactly for it was something like you had make up something in front of the class, entertain the class or something and I started crying, in front of a class of 24 other boys and  the teacher. […]

Some people are fake. Some people are almost programmed to be in a certain way and do only certain things, they can’t get out of their limited ways and it sucks. I am genuine and free but I don’t know what to do. Maybe people have to be prisoners and similar to animals because this might be the default mode on this planet. Maybe the things I desire are not possible right now.

I start my job tomorrow. Lined up at the exact start of the month. So my 6 month contract is over as soon as it rolls over to June. Didn’t do much this weekend. Bought groceries and played magic at a card shop. I don’t think I’m nervous. Not about the job exactly. I am nervous that I’ll fail at even this. So I guess I am nervous in a way. If I fail at this, that’s it. I have to kill myself at that point. This is the lowest level that is somewhat […]

I asked google AI if there are any great philosophers who fully embrace optimism and it insisted yes. But it listed names who are absolutely NOT optimistic. The dumbass thing tried to tell me Nietszche was an optimist. I’m sure it’s just programmed to act all chipper on the subject of suicide due to all the lawsuits when it tells the truth.

At any rate, I’m looking to read any philosophical book (fiction preferred) that you think encapsulates existence. Bonus points if it isn’t bleak as hell. But if any philosophical work speaks to you, or helps you in any way, suggest it here.

My 2 go-tos […]

I thought I would be the type of person who would leave if a situation got toxic.

I was wrong.
