Figured I’d put this in general chat. Doesn’t really get more general than this anyway.
I guess right now I’m just pissed at life, and how it’s treating me. Anyone else who wishes to contribute by posting how life is treating you right now, and how it isn’t fair is more than welcome here. I’ll start it off.
It’s an unusually hot Sunday in October, and while the gentle piano chords coming from my speakers urge me to calm down, I am beyond pissed off. You see, life has never really made sense to me, I can’t stress enough how it doesn’t make sense.
You’re born into an apathetic society, as soon as you can feed yourself it’s everyone for him/herself. Skip ahead a few years and you’ve become a person who is entangled with social pressures, and things that are forced on you, which you never asked for. You become burdened with all kinds of responsibilities, and somewhere between everybody shouting to you who you should be, you have to make a decision on where your life is headed when you haven’t even the faintest idea who you are yet. Oh, don’t forget social interactions – without that you’re lost anyway. Fit everything into one day – make sure you don’t sleep – that’s time wasted. Feeling tired? Energy drinks, cigarettes, everything to keep you awake for a little bit longer, as your schedule is packed. Always more to do.
And so it continues for some time, and along the road you suffer a number of injuries, even the simplest of actions by some jackass in your youth can scar you forever, make you afraid for the rest of your life, or some random physical injury can make you experience discomfort, possibly for the rest of your life as well.
And you have to go on – obligations everywhere, don’t forget this, get a good education, be sure to make enough money, get a home, have three kids – perfect family, no time to sleep, do this, another thing.. etc..etc.
And yet we go on. Yet I go on – here I am, the only glimmer of light I’ve seen in years is out of reach, I watch out of my windows, praying for a reason to go outside, or to have someone waiting on the other side of the window. I trudge on, along the paths I’ve seen a thousand times, every time becoming slightly more cynical, trying to laugh at the irony of misery, and the misery of irony – it matters not, nothing ever seems to change. I release a maniacal laughter every now and then, when pondering over recent events, or the absence thereof. Other times, such as now, it simply makes me nothing but angry. Should life have a face, I’d grab the first brick I could find and bash as long as would be needed to make it realize that things shouldn’t have to be this way for such a large portion of humanity.
I have to recognise my own strength though, and that of others. You see, we’re all still here. We may have thought about giving up, thought about hurting ourselves, others, those we love, and those we hate, and despite all of that – we’re still here. And I do think everybody here needs to realize how much strength and willpower that requires – don’t underestimate yourself, as long as you’re still here, you’re effectively already doing a **** good job. but for fresia’s sake, life could have been a bit better on all of us I believe. Doesn’t make sense to see those who do nothing get rewarded by the best life has to offer, and the diamonds that truly glitter at the bottom of the pile have to struggle every day, and our only reward is that we get to experience another day at the bottom of the pile.
So, A.L.L., tell me – how’s life treating you right now?
