i envy people who can easily understand a poem from its summary and move on...it's like they have pain as an option
I know a lot of people don’t want to live anymore, and I know many have lost hope, thinking their lives won’t get any better. I completely understand where they’re coming from, I felt that too at some point and obviously get episodes of sadness and regret. Sometimes the turmoil the world throws at us—the overthinking, the stress, and the deep sense of dissatisfaction and disconnection—makes it so hard to believe things can improve.
But in those moments, what keeps me going are the unexplored ventures ahead of me. There are so many books I haven’t read, so many movies I haven’t watched. Perhaps there’s a legendary album yet to release that I haven’t heard. There are so many fields, skills, and hobbies left to discover. So many places to visit, and so many people to meet.
And what about the person I’m supposed to be loved by? There’s so much this world offers that’s far beyond the adversities we face. I look at beautiful, articulate women, draped in elegance and poise, and I wonder what I’ll look like one day. A single book changed my career decisions—who knows what else I’ve been wrong about all this time?
What will I look like as an adult? As an elderly person? I have to make my younger self proud, too. When I think about all of this, the negative thoughts start to fade. There’s so much I have yet to know and experience, and I’m not going to let my past define my future. Yes, these things are sometimes overwhelming, but I think , these things are worth living for 🩷
Just a thot👾
