Are you currently searching for peace or for pleasure?
Any type of writing. Make it as long as you want. The winner is determined by if your writing gave me the most painful existential crisis ever. Make me rethink life.

Just something I need to get out(8/24/23)

I smile, but have a hard time believing I'm happy. Everyday feels like the ending dragging on, whether it be because of work or my long term worries of my family. I have a girlfriend, but sometimes I wish I could legitimately be by myself, if only for one week in a room only I can walk into. I don't even know, if I started crying, if it would be for attention or the release of tension. This desperate yearning to have a meaningful impact on some unknown group has really torn me down. I need to stay away from most social media, at this point. It does nothing for me. I'm not really fine. I'm not suicidal, but not great. I sleep like I survive:awkwardly and with hesitation. Man, even looking at what I'm writing, in this moment, I simultaneously want to be better and gone. Can't do that, though. my mom wouldn't recover. My siblings wouldn't either. Who am I to take away that part of their lives. Might as well stick it out.
