there is a certain irony in my whole situation, isn't there? i'm comfortable, i'm lucky, so why do i hate my life so much? i hate that i continue to want more than i have, i should just be happy that i get to lead the life that i do. not many have the opportunity that i've got, hell many would count themselves lucky to be in my position.
i think about this often, as i float on in solitude. i've been trying and failing for weeks now to dissect what contributes to making me feel the way i do about my life. i just want to be able to identify the problem and come up with steps to resolve it, but life just isn't that easy. nothing ever is that easy.
i want to talk to people about this, but to do so feels like bragging while playing the victim. people all around me have it so much worse off, and yet i still want to complain. why can't i just be happy with what i have?
and so i'm left to sit here, alone. stewing in my own thoughts. i hate it in my head, my thoughts are so mean to me. they'll tell me of all the ways i'm a failure, or that i'm not good enough, or that nobody could love someone as damaged as me, or that i need to stop feeling so sorry for myself and be a productive member of society.
that's why they sent me up here, isn't it? because i'm not good enough to be with everyone else.
maybe that's okay.
maybe i should just accept my fate.
maybe i should just curl up and waste my days away until the time comes where the earth is able to reclaim my body.
maybe then i could be useful.
maybe then people would want me back.
maybe.
