I will be nothing when I grow up.

[seeweed]

People ask me what I wanna be when I grow up, I dont answer because I dont see a future for myself. The world only gets worse from here, so whats the point? Like seriously. I get envious. Like, REALLY envious sometimes that people know what they want. That they have a goal that keeps them motivated while im just.. there. Standing. Wondering if I can even make it past 18. I hate it when people just ask me those kind of questions. Yes, i dont have a plan. And no, I dont want to have one. Is that so hard to understand? i realized that whatever I was doing back then was just for temporary happiness so i just Stopped. Because really for me, there is no point. I wont grow up, i wish people stopped hoping for something from someone like me.

In the exact same boat as a 21 year old. I wanted a family, that's it, then the woman I adored walked away from me because of my own mental health sabotaging it.

Even when we know, there's still issues some of us just aren't cut out for this .

ive never heard of someone in this position who eventually found their passion, motive, etc. i really hate when people patronize me and talk down to me about how i'll "figure it out" and "find my place." in high school, then "in your 20s," now they're promising it'll happen in college, or even in my 30s and 40s. it's just capitalistic, carrot-on-a-stick propaganda trying to keep a bored person alive long enough to end up at a menial job they can be squeezed out of every last drop of energy for. bonus points if they have no financial aspirations— you can pay them minimum wage !
