>I am an animal, you see that. I don’t have the words, they didn’t teach me the words. I don’t know how to think, the bastards didn’t let me learn how to think. But if you really are...all-powerful...all-knowing...then you figure it out! Look into my heart. I know that everything you need is in there. It has to be. I never sold my soul to anyone! It’s mine, it’s human! You take from me what it is I want... it just can’t be that I would want something bad!

If you've ever read Sarte's Nausea, that's pretty much what it feels like (to me). when i first read it, I couldn't understand how you could be possibly autistic enough to feel physically ill at the thought of your own existence. I mean yeah, I've thought about the absurdness of it all etc etc before, but it never really had an effect or got me down in any way.
then one night, as I was laying in bed: bam. I realized that I wanted to nothing more than to blow my brains out. I wanted to scream and choke on my own vomit.
"There is a terrible thing lurking at the bottom of our time. it is made of wide, soft instants, spreading at the edge, like an oil stain."
So I count my days away, going to class, talking to friends, shitposting on 4chan, waiting for the courage to end it all. not that it matters

Look at me now. Look where it got me; the good it did me. Brace yourself, my son, and when you feel the roar of the colossal, naked truth, I hope you do not think any less of me, for just as I am; this is all for you.
