You said you’re feeling depressed and don’t know how long you can hold yourself together, and that line hurt. Not in a dramatic way, but in a real way. Because I can feel how tired you are. Not physically tired, but soul tired. The kind where even breathing feels like work and smiling feels fake.
But listen to me okay. The fact that you think old you would have given up already means you didn’t. You are still here. You are still fighting even if it doesn’t look like fighting. Waking up everyday when you don’t want to is fighting. Existing when your mind is against you is fighting. You are stronger than you are giving yourself credit for.
And about writing… you say it’s not even your hobby or something you’re good at. But you still wrote. You created characters that are happier than you. Do you even realise what that means. Somewhere inside you still believe in better days. Somewhere inside you still imagine togetherness, comfort, love. That hope did not die. If it was dead, you wouldn’t be able to write those stories at all.
You said your characters are together to sort things out while you feel alone. But maybe writing them is your way of giving yourself the comfort you don’t have right now. That is not stupid. That is not weak. That is survival.
And when you said you hate that you are existing in this world… that scared me. Because you matter more than you think. Even if you feel like just a body right now. Even if you feel like your soul is sucked out. Feelings are not permanent even when they feel endless. This phase is loud and heavy but it is not forever.

You are not dead. You are exhausted. And exhausted people need rest and support, not endings.
If you don’t have the energy to write a whole chapter, just write one paragraph. Or one messy line. Or even “I survived today.” That is enough for now.
I don’t know everything that is happening in your life, but I know this. The world is better with you in it than without you. And one day you will read this phase like a chapter you survived, not the end of your story.
Please stay. Even if it’s just out of stubbornness. Please stay

@KURO_wrritey Please don’t say maybe I should just end everything. I know you are tired. I know everything feels pointless. But this is a moment talking, not your whole life. You deserve to see a version of you that is genuinely happy, not just the characters you write. You are not playing a victim card. You are hurting. There is a difference. And you are allowed to hurt. You are allowed to vent. Anyone who twists that is projecting their own issues
