    That’s a big mood. I honestly mean that. I don’t want to presume to know your situation, but from one human being to another I can tell you I’ve been there too. I low-key hope to get hit by a bus so I don’t have to put up with life anymore.

    It’s a feeling that seems to come and go, and it can ratchet itself up to a feverish intensity. But every time I’ve been pushed to the brink so far, I’ve chosen life. When you stare death in the eye, you suddenly want to see one more sunrise.

    If you’re having these thoughts with any kind of intensity or regularity, or you’ve started to put a plan together to end your life, then you owe it to yourself to attempt an intervention. Most people point to therapy, and if it’s available to you it’s worth a shot. And if therapy is unavailable or untenable, reading about psychology and non-pharmaceutical treatments for depression did wonders for my outlook.

    The world is better with you in it. I’m rooting for you.

    You don’t have to be broken to be weird, it feels problematic to conflate the two.

    But to take your point, I agree that you attract people based on the vibe that you’re putting out. If you don’t like who you’re attracting, then you can work on yourself and your vibe will improve too.

    Just to inject a little hope, plenty of weird, poor people have girlfriends. I don’t know anybody weirder than me, and my wife doesn’t mind.

    You can’t ‘make’ someone have a relationship with you though. That’s illegal and reprehensible, but I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way







  • When I was younger, I’d try to power through. Now that I’m older, I recognize that my day is always better when I try to get some sleep.

    When I was younger, not sleeping was the result of bad choices. Lately it’s because of insomnia. I don’t know if that makes any difference, but I guess it’s worth noting.

    PSA: 24 hours of sleep deprivation is similar to having a BAC (Blood Alcohol Count) of 0.10%. That’s over the legal limit in most places. If you have to go to work, don’t drive.
