I'm just starting to wonder whether it's worth it continuing living in this <not allowed> up, sad, miserable and hateful world. Is it? I don't know...it's hell of a lot of bad stuff down here.
Yes. It is.
Sweetie, you're only seeing one aspect of it. You're seeing the worst that can be brought out in some people. I've been where you are. Were it not for my own stupidity and lack of thinking things through I wouldn't be here to say this to you now. I've been there. And I've taken it one step further. On more than one occasion. When everything just felt like too much. Like you could never be the person you wanted to be because the world you live in won't let you.
So you think it's easiest just to make it all go away. To make the pain stop. To give yourself to blissful oblivion and leave the world to fend for itself. I thought that. Three times. And tried to make it happen. The fact that I'm still here is proof that either I'm extremely moronic, or that deep down I didn't want what I thought I wanted. I'd rather go with the latter, lol.
I learned something, though. Through dealing with that, and the fallout from it. Something very important. While you can still control your life, you can still change how you want your life to be. We have control over our lives, Dany. Even in the darkest dark. Even in those times where it feels that the walls are closing in, and there's nothing left to fight for. WE have control of our lives. We have the capacity for change. Where there's life there's hope. Where there's life, there's the chance to make things better.
When you give up. When you surrender yourself to the giant roulette wheel that's "what happens after", then you lose that. It's out of your hands.
For every person in this world who is self centered, hateful, insecure, nasty and vicious... there is someone who is kind, sweet, gentle, caring, loving and warm. That's how this world is. It isn't full of venom and hate. But sometimes it's hard to see that. I know that very, very well. But it is there.
While you're here, you can work towards and ultimately achieve getting rid of that piece of meat, as you call it. Making your life how you want it to be. You can be who you want to be, sweetie. Don't leave the last snapshot of your life as someone you never wanted, okay? Keep going. Where there's life, there's hope. There is a whole world of people out there. Not all of them are nasty and hateful, even if sometimes it seems very likely they are.
You're worth more than that, Dany. You're worth being who you are. You're worth being able to enjoy life, and find people who want you for YOU. They're out there. Don't give up, okay? Make your life how you want it to be. Then live it.
I believe in you. *extra big hug*
