When you don't want to feel,

death can seem like a dream.

But seeing death,

really seeing it,

makes dreaming about it ridiculous.

Maybe, there’s a moment growing up when something peels back,

Maybe ...

Maybe we look for secrets because we can’t believe our minds.

Because sometimes people do actually feel that way.

Sometimes your life feels like it’s caving in on you.

Sometimes people really do feel like they don't want to exist,

Like they want to just curl up in a ball, and go into that place between life and death.

Saying “I don't want to exist” isn't saying, “I want to die.”

It’s saying, “I wish that, for that time being, I could go somewhere and not have to feel.”

I don't think there’s anything wrong with that.

And if you don’t know how it feels to feel this way,

Then you have no place to judge anyone who does.
