I used to think a lot about going back in time and changing my mistakes.
Now I think my entire life is a mistake. I'd kill myself sooner, when I had the chance.
That's exactly how I feel. When I was young, I didn't think I'd make to 16...then 23...then 30...and so on...I kept "trying and trying" to build a life and "get help" but never was able to fully connect to anything or anyone.
I can't give anyone any advice at all here, but I'm 52 now and look back on my entire life with pain and I regret every choice that I made and every choice that was made for me, and man, do I ever wish I had just ended it sooner. Just something for you young bloods to consider.
On one hand, things COULD get better. You COULD create a life that you love.
But sitting here in this body I don't recognize anymore, looking through eyes that don't see as well, and remembering all of that "potential " I had when I was 17 and "my whole life was ahead of me", now I look backwards and all that shit is behind me now. And I see nothing on the path ahead of me but darkness and emptiness.
It didn't matter how high I climbed or famous I got or how much I achieved, I never stopped hating that little 5 year old girl inside me who knew she didn't deserve anything good. Sorry my posts are so long; I didn't realize I had so much shit to get out.
I just know that from the time I was 13 and collecting bottles of Ny-tol in my bedroom til now, I've never wanted anything else but to not be here. I don't know what the right answer is, but I feel like I have wasted 52 years in a life I never wanted and never asked for. Cheers.
