Stabbing Yourself in the Neck
I had a conversation about the source of my general malaise lately, otherwise known as a full-blown depression. The entire point of it, I found, is that there isn’t a source.
I am unhappy. I’ve been this way most of my life. I actually once began dating a girl essentially out of pity; I told her I would never be happy, at which point she kissed me.
Nevertheless, it’s true. I’ve rarely been happy in my life… perhaps never. There are surely moments, but never any extended time; I allow myself to put the good things at a distance so I can focus on the things that eviscerate my spirit. Even moments that should be triumphant are often met more with a feeling of relief: “I managed this without screwing up.”
I wish I was a dreamer. I used to think I was, but the truth is, I shoot holes in my own goals. I can’t do it; success is constantly eluding me.
The real problem about all this is that I don’t care; I can see the problems, but my past failures have taught me not to care.
I can’t remember most of what I said to my roommate. I’m remembering in pieces; I can never tell the whole story.
I want to be happy once.
Well why don’t you quit acting like a cunt?
its funny, but with the exception of chemical imbalance, I never have particular reasons for being down either, I just am. and while we’re on the subject of dreams and dreamers and shooting holes in goals, lets talk about how I can come up with the greatest ideas, and then watch as they just sit there. what in the hell is wrong with us dude? we’re better than this. or at least, we dream we are.
lets just get married and be lame together.
