Life is such a drag. Day after day. Watching ourselves wilt away and fight to survive.

"life is a drag, day after day, wilting away". I own that now, this day, my body wracked, shaking, itching, meaningless. Yet, I feel I must say when I was young, it wasn't that way at all. There were things to look forward to, learning, traveling, helping others, children. I am just waiting for my will to be finished. Today, I'm wasted, in pain, lonely, etc, etc, etc. misery. Shouldn't I be allowed, aided, to end this?

I worked at a nursing home and I'd end my life before I ever end up there. A nursing home is not an option for me. That place was evil. Even if I succeed at recovering. If something doesn't kill me before my mind and body start to deteriorate I'll still end my life. But by then I'm hoping I will have experienced at least a decent life. So I wouldn't be ending my life because pain and misery. I'd be ending it because I lived a happy, successful, fulfilling life and I'm done. So I will probably end my own life one way or another.

Yes.
My mother, who has had secondary progressive MS all my life. I watched her wither away into nothing as I grew up.. Now I'm watching her die

I will never accept aging, i will never accept disease, i will never accept decay, i will never content myself with getting old.
If i can't be young forever then i will never allow time to transform my body into something i don't it to be. It's mine! It's my property! There is no such thing as our lives and bodies belonging to a God that, if really exists, doesn't give a mummer's fart about us. Not for me anyway. If i'm not satisfied with this fragile pile of meat and smelly liquids i will fuck it up untill it dies!

Once I thought of this. My extremely annoying body and face, getting worse with age. No oil fucking painting as it is.

I would be old ugly poor. Yes my future outlook makes me want to die.

But perhaps this meager existence with it's fitful dreams and depressing wakefulness is but a prelude to a greater awakening. One can only hope. My mother often said that without hope your heart would break. And wasn't it Dante who wrote; "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"?. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Thanks for following me this far. Sometimes I wander. But I'm in my sixties now and; welllllll.... you know
