One more day, one less day!

[WornOutLife]

"One more day, one less day".

My lovely grandma used to say these words to me every time I saw her.

Now, many years later, I finally get the meaning of them!

Every day we manage to live somehow, it's one more day, however, death is closer so, at the same time, we have one less day of life!

I guess this makes me feel kinda happy because my goal, death, is closer day by day.

Anyway, what do you think about this? How's your week been? Did you manage to struggle with this goddamn life for one more day at least?

My week has been boring. My new job is boring, but it pays okay, and I don't have any other options at the moment. I wish I could forget the people who ghosted me. I think about them day and night, and the stupidest things remind me of them. It's like I have the most annoying song stuck in my head. I didn't get around to scouting my CTB location this past weekend, but there's always this one coming up.

My week has been good relatively speaking, we're moving closer to the end of lockdown and I have been able to meet a friend for the first time in a year. Today was a better day and I know that this will pass so I've appreciated it.

I hope others were able get through today with some peace of mind and if not I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Love to everyone.

One more day, one less day!

Waiting for fluoxetine to (maybe) kick in, felt a bit nauseous today, wonder if it's a side effect. Anxiety has been manageable, so apathy is back in style. Can't focus at work. Can't keep my study routine. Tried to hyperventilate and hold my breath to pass out, also tried with the rope. Failed.

Bright side: not skipping the meds, didn't ghost the therapist, still doing home workouts, playing the guitar 20~30 minutes/day, it's F1 race weekend.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Not just the idea of it, but really contemplating it. It fills me with so much joy to know that I WILL eventually leave all of this pain behind. I'm holding on for my kids, so if CTB is not in my future, I know I will find peace some day regardless.

Thank you for the consistently insightful and engaging posts. I hope you are well today.

This. The positive part should be the "one more day" part, but for me, it's not. I am not happy at all about having one more day.

I'm just waiting to embrace that completely. I think there's honesty in choosing and knowingly living your last day, when you're so inclined to wish for your death. I'm sorry for being so dark. But this sounds a lot more dignified than never waking up and not even knowing it's your last day, after you wished for it for so long.

been another pretty shitty week for me, not much has gone right for me lately

How's your week been?

It feels good to touch & be touched. It feels bad to feel, especially after it feels good to feel for a brief moment.

 

[Hurt]

It's something "possitive". I see everyday as one less day to live which brings me some comfort.

My week has been pretty shit. Got tested positive for COVID after passing out and getting multiple headaches. I feel so utterly alone and isolated in my quarantine, and am finally realizing what a worthless unmotivated person I am. My meds are also actively making it worse, yet I am too much of a coward to finally end my existence and exit this horrendous mortal coil. I want to do things, achieve things, end things, yet getting out of bed has slowly become my greatest accomplishment of the day. Fuck this wretched existence I never asked for.

Now that's something to "live"for in an ironic way.

One day I'll die...but not today.

One day I'll die...but not today.

not with THAT attitude... jkjk haha

Anywho, I like op's quote!

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes, it is comforting to know that it will eventually end, that we are not trapped on this earth forever. The thought of nonexistence is wonderful. Many people are so engaged in life they forget that this is only temporary and that death is the end goal for all of us. If I try to remind others of that I am told to stop being morbid. My week has been the same as the last, looking forward to sleep.I think being human is overrated.

This life is burning
It's turning to ash as it hits the air
Every step is a day in the week
It's a Wednesday or Thursday
A march over months of the year

Take this mute mouth
Broken tongue
Now this dark life
Is shot through with light

-- Suzanne Vega

I didn't get these words until I read your explication. You are totally right. Our time is measured and we have "only" some years/months/days for living.

Like you said, the good part is that our lives are not timeless and we are just mortals.

Life is just a game of survival. Why would you take it so seriously... Matt?!

"… And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."

My week has been long and miserable as usual. But today my SN arrived and I'm so excited! It was surprisingly easy to get and it makes me feel so much more peaceful knowing I have it.

 

[TowerUpright]

one more day, one less day.

I'll have to keep this in mind. I like it.

As the old saying goes: 'Time and tide waits for no man.' I am glad because I am really tired now. Just let me sleep.
