I love how I'm supposed to be happy because I have this great opportunity yet the only thing I feel is pressured and anxious. I don't know who I want to be. I don't even know who I am. What am I even doing here? What's the meaning of life? I question myself all the time, and you want me to have it all figured out. I'm scared that if I leave too soon, I'll forget everything and my opportunities will be limited. I'm scared that if I stay too long, I'll be stuck with stress and debt. Everyone aspires to be something - a doctor, a nurse. I just want peace. You take my lack of determination as laziness, but what use is a battle if you're fighting for nothing? My interests seem so small to you. Everyone wants to be a writer. Everyone wants to be a star. Not everyone gets the chance. Some people reach for the sun and end up behind the counter at a fast food restaurant. You don't want me to be like them. But all I want is to be happy. I don't think you want me to be happy. Stable, yes. You think that means happy. But there's no balance. The scale keeps toppling from side to side, bearing the weight I carry on my shoulders. Your expectations, my expectations. The expectations of people who don't really know me. I fret and I fret. Sleep either consumes my soul or avoids me like the plague. The shell of me whispers its deepest darkest fears in the dark. My mind plays a film of 20 years wasted, replaying it every time I close my eyes. You tell me "that's what happens when you're an adult", your words make me feel like a child. So, the choice is mine, and you know I hate making choices. I can disappoint everyone, or I can disappoint myself. (My shit post I wrote while dying inside ☠)

@Yeahidonthavethink I don't know what you are going through, but I want to tell you that you are doing the best you can! It's alright. Everything will be okay, it just needs some time. I hope you are doing well, but if you aren't, I am sorry about that. I hope things get better.
