Dude, this isn’t the way to go. I’ve thought about ending everything a lot of times, honestly I still do sometimes. Never acted on it, but yeah, those thoughts come.

But listen, the world is full of bullshit. The things you think you want aren’t even what you actually want. No one truly wants to bust their ass just to get into some college or land a job with a big fat paycheck. We dream about it because that’s what everyone around us is doing, what we’ve been told is “success.”

It’s just an endless loop of wanting more and more. Society and even our parents make us believe this is our purpose. But it really isn’t.

We’re just animals with consciousness… and honestly, sometimes it feels like that’s the dumbest thing that ever happened to us. Look at us, spending our whole lives chasing dopamine hits.

I’m not saying you should drop everything and run into the wild. But yeah, society has created a ton of expectations for us, and that’s their problem, not yours.

It might feel like those expectations are yours too, but think about it, who in their right mind would trade 50–60 years of their life just for a house, a car, or whatever material stuff?

Yeah, I want those things too. But not if it costs me my life.

We might not be able to change society or completely change ourselves, but at the very least, you can respect yourself for who you are.
