Let’s be honest here, life is hard. And I strongly believe that life is not for everyone. Somehow growing up I lost all respect for myself; and speaking honestly, I don’t know how to respect, or even love myself. Every time I look in the mirror all I see are all of my flaws. And then there’s the part about worrying about future. I see no future in me. I grew up having no talents, and was never really good at anything. There are all these smart, beautiful, and talented people in the world; so I think to myself, what can I give to this world? The answer to that is fairly simple, nothing. I see my parents working hard everyday just to give myself and my sister everything we want. If I lived the life they have and put myself in their shoes where the I would be living for is my children, I would be living such an unhappy life. Selfish enough to say, but they still have a whole life ahead of them to be enjoying, but instead they’re stuck working so hard just to make a living. I think to myself, if it were just my sister in the picture of this family then things would be so different. In ways they may even be happier. Of course there is always the option for me to start living life differently and doing everything I can to achieve a successful future, but that wouldn’t make me happy. And honestly that process would only make me realize how much I really hate this life. Everything is society today is just a competition to be the best. we all have to be smarter to get the better career, we all have to be prettier like the models on magazines, and we all have to be better in everything we do to be recognized at all. Honestly speaking, I truly do not want to live a life in the way society sets it to be. All I ever wanted was to be happy, but reality is the scary truth that true happiness no long exists.
The worst part is, I have no one to tell this to. No one will ever understand, and no one would really care. My friends have been there when I tried to take my own life, but no one has ever asked me how I have been. No one ever tried to help me either. And there’s the depressing truth about life, no one really cares.
