I need to pay for my pilgrimage back to my native land somehow.

I find it strange that ever since I started working I've been feeling like I did when I was a teenager. I thought I was supposed to feel better about myself, being a responsible adult and such.

Yeah, with how other people, even on 4chan, react to it, I'm pretty sure it's not a healthy mindset either.

It sounded cool though. I've run away from home multiple times and even snuck into a church for somewhere to sleep, it sounded cool. I like to travel around and walk wherever I want without having to worry about a thing in the world even with the many risks that it entails. I don't like the idea of working at the same place doing something I hate for the rest of my life, but I've got a bad feeling I need to get used to that idea.

yeah, thinking about suicide and actually trying are two different things. the origin of suicidal thoughts are just the unconscious desire to stop anxiety, so if you think of suicide, be assured that somewhere within you, the will to change still exists.

well, frankly, I miss some things of that time. see, my first 25 were pretty complicated, and I ended up in many strange situations.

I planned on just slitting my throat.
Painful, and makes a bloody mess, but I can't find downside to it. And if I regret it midway, well, it will only be for a few seconds before I lose consciousness.

I was going to do it in the bathtub, but it's the only one in this house, and bloodstains are probably a bitch to get out of whatever that tub is made of. My room wouldn't be so bad, but they'd have to replace the carpeting, and they just did that two years ago. I don't mind doing it outside, but someone might find me, plus our dogs go out there, and I don't want them to ingrain the smell of my scent and blood with where they run around and play.

Ah, dying is such a hassle, and living is such a pain.

is knifing your heart a viable option? I don't really want to overly bother the mortician with the nonsense he has to do for an open casket.

I find suffocation to be a particularly unpleasant way to die

My computer broke in February. I'm using an old computer that's all messed up and keyboards don't work on it. I can no longer play touhou. Needless to say I'm bored. (Using On-Screen Keyboard btw)

Since march I've been planning to just leave it all. I've been a NEET for almost 5 years. I'm not even sure I'm capable. I haven't been farther than my backyard in years. But never the less this fantasy has been brewing. A life on the road sounds interesting.

I finally have enough money from mturk to buy a sleeping bag and tent. And just before buying it, I see a netbook for the same price. I could buy it and resume life as normal, or I could buy the tent and travel...

well, helping people is good, but thinking of drifting into oblivion it's impossible. simply because, until you have booze and drugs, you can pretend to not exist, but in the unavoidable moment of lucidity, you'll feel the need of the things you left and that you don't have anymore, so you'll do anything to start again pretending.
