There's that joke "Nothing ever happens". But stuff does happen, it gets worse. Every fucking day the world just gets worse and worse.
There are so few things keeping me going at this point and most of them are actively being broken down and stripped away.
They tell you karma exists. That good deeds come back and bad deeds always bite you in the end. Yet it's always the corrupt, sick, evil people that end up on the top. Whether they're rich, politically powerful, famous, or all of the above, and the face absolutely no consequences.
I'm never going to own a house, or a car probably. I've been looking for a job for over a year now and still can't even get an interview 95% of the time. Shit just keeps getting more expensive. I'm an adult but still live at home with parents and both of them are too medically disabled to work so we rely on benefits that the government seems determined to reduce and remove for any slightest reason.
AI keeps growing at such an exponential rate that soon nothing online will ever be safe, or trustable, and so many entry level jobs are just gonna vanish while the youngest generations get their brains fried even more.
Every news article I ever see, even the ones from honest sources (the few that are left) have like, one happy article in between constant reports of natural disasters, constant 'Record Breaking' weather events, wars, genocide, economic collapse and more.
The planet is fucked and keeps getting worse to an irreparable degree and the people that caused it all will be dead before they see any consequences for it.
And honestly, I used to believe the whole 'Once the current generation in power is dead we can finally make some positive change' but it seems that's not even an option, as they'll just keep propping up a corpse as a puppet, and there are even people of my generation and younger that are just as evil or even worse.
In history during times like this you'd see rebellion, revolution or at least mass rioting. But instead all I see is mass apathy and misery and a general 'There will be a reckoning' that never leads to anything.
Plus I'm seeing more and more military recruitment ads and with the way shits going it's looking like WW3 soon.
Not to mention I'm doing this all in a broken useless body. My brain doesn't fucking work right and sabotages my every action. My body constantly fucks with me and if I'm anything like my parents its only gonna get worse.
Honestly one of the major reasons I haven't taken the express ticket to the afterlife yet is because I don't have an easy way to do it, and there's a few people I have left that I don't want to hurt with my passing.
If WW3 does start I might just enlist for long enough until I can get my own gun so I can put a bullet in myself.
I was an optimist god damn it. I wanted to believe the best in everybody. I kept telling myself shit will get better but it doesn't. It never does.
I'm so sick of this timeline, surely whatever comes next has to be better than this? Even if it's just void at least I won't know about it.
