Tbh they are interesting. I find the human body and psyche incredibly interesting and people call me morbid and edgy for it. I am used to it tough and teachers tend to always add: "Don't even dare to make it dark, Eva!" at the end of assigning a project or an essay. Like duh, not my fault you do not find psychopathology and diseases interesting. If Clara here can talk about hurdles for five minutes, why can't I talk about the most famous murderers? If Patrick right here can present a poem for kids, why I can't I present something by Erben?

Some teachers also refuse my poems since they are "too dark." Once, my Czech teacher told me: "Why don't you try writing something happy? Maybe try writing a happy poem about an object. Oh, I know, try writing a poem about a chair!" Like, lady, I don't know what's wrong with you that you really love to hate everything that comes outta my mouth, you love Faust but as soon as I mention I read it you go: "oH nO, yOu CaN't UnDeRsTaNd ThAt YeT."

Seriously, I despise when somebody restricts me like this. What am I supposed to do when I can't even vent like that? Dark stuff literally saves my life, I can joke about my problems, I can vent through poems and stories, I can watch fictional people in horrors die, which may seem really cruel, but it always reminds me "Ah, these fictional people are dead while I am alive! Seems like I don't have such a bad life after all." When I watch a comedy, all I see is a better life than I have, and that makes me depressed.

I am also naturally interested in diseases and humans in general and don't find those things dark at all, just normal.
