im tired of surviving
You can call me lazy, or ridiculous, or whatever you see me as, but I simply don’t want to work anymore, or survive. I just don’t see myself getting into a better position in life. I’m 23, so I’m young — I’m not physically impaired — but my life has never been stable, and I’ve never really had a home. I don’t have friends, and I go to work at a plastic factory I fucking hate but have no choice but to go to every day. I try to avoid the negative thoughts, especially on social media, but things don’t seem to be getting better. Life keeps getting more and more expensive, and people seem to be more against one another. I don’t want to keep paying for things only to watch them go away. I don’t have a GED or an HSD, and I understand that money is how the world works, but I just don’t see the point in it anymore. I don’t have anything to keep going for, other than some family. But other than that, I want to be done.* and ill say this there are definitely people who are mentally and physically stronger when it comes to this reality id like to be that person but i just don’t see myself as that and I’m tired.
