“Where do I go from here?” I ask myself every day. Without any direction, I’m sure I’ll just keep on living day to day. I don’t want to die, but living is not very exciting. I blame myself, I know I have the ability to do anything and make my dreams happen; I don’t know what my dreams are. This and more is the confusion that makes up daily life, at least for me.

My stomach turned over all night, probably from stress. Every day I seemed to be more tired, but still I couldn’t sleep. It was a restlessness wrought of nervous empty life... which I filled with black coffee. You could blame either of the two, I don’t really care. It’s my fault either way, I want to be better.

It seems to me that I become a different person, that I adapt to my environment in a not insignificant way. I can feign confidence in front of my co-workers, but also feel genuinely happy and confident when talking to regular people. We aren’t all regular people, I don’t think; it’s like the rich and indentured have cast their eyes purely outward to condemn me.

I am a simple man, I only want to live and placate the longings of my mind. Not heart, but mind. I think that love is not what I crave to be happy, I’ve had it and been just as alone as ever. Loneliness, I feel, comes from a lack of dreams as opposed to kindness. There is an emptiness in my being, a pure void that rejects all calm because it desperately seeks my reason. There is no reason, and I have so much fear even just in living easily.

How do you find out why you’re going on? What if the reason is no reason at all? Am I doomed to be sleepless forever as I slowly become less capable of dealing with my own issues? How do you win? Please let me just win.

Yeah, I’m super happy.

Being free from absolutely any form or responsibility, no matter how minuscule it bothers me to the core. I keep failing them anyways.
I believe living as a neet somewhere comfy managing to live isolated and never seeing anyone would make me happy.
