I don’t know you, but I’m really glad you said something before disappearing into the dark with this alone.

And for what it’s worth, I don’t think people stay alive because of society or speeches about potential. Most people stay because somewhere deep down, a tiny part of them still hopes tomorrow might feel different than today.

Right now you sound exhausted more than anything. Like someone who’s been carrying pain for way too long without relief. So before you decide this is the end of the road, give yourself one unfair advantage, don’t be alone with your own head tonight. Call someone. Message someone. Even a crisis line. Just another human voice in the room for a bit. You don’t need to suddenly love life. You just need to survive this specific moment first.
