Wishful thinking breaks my heart.

[Dizzy_Dreams]

Wishful thinking does me no good...

I wish everything was different.

I wish the world was more good than bad, that people didn't suffer so much, that people weren't so corrupt I wish our governments wasn't messed up. I wish it wasn't so hard to live and wasn't so hard to die. I wish fairytale shit was real.. I wish there was a reason we were all here and that it was a clear reason. I was life wasn't all about survival and petty things. I wish soul mates were real. I wish things lasted. I wish I wasn't born the way I was and that I hadn't done the things I've done and I just wish that life and living wasn't so stressful, scary, and empty and cold. I wish.

I can relate Wishful thinking slapped me hard this year and now I'm so hurt and I don't know what to do.

I feel like that every time I listen to "Imagine" by John Lennon. :(

Me too. I have this fantasy daydream life of things that could be different for me if I had the resources I needed to better myself. But not everyone gets a "happy ending" to their problems. I believe I'm one of those people now

I look at reality, and the likely paths ahead. I'm not a pessimist, but I just feel hoping for miracles just sets things up to crash even harder. I'll gladly take good things as they come, but it's safer to emotionally prepare for the more realistic outcomes in life.

hope is toxic af for me, I delude myself into thinking things will be okay then mentally collapse when they are not

I'm the same way. I hated when therapists say that when you collapse it just a setback and not that reality is catching up to you

Hoe can be very cruel .I think its very overrated .

The most depressing thing is life is that:
Dreams dont come true
True love doesnt exist
Happiness is just an illusion

There was a short story I read once about two poor kids who were dreaming about all the things they wanted in life life a house, new clothes, holidays. Then the girl turns around and says the thing she wishes for the most is that it was possible. Then she kills herself. Cos that's the depressing thing - we work and work and try to dig our way out of poverty but for a lot of people we will just forever be trapped in poverty/the rat race never achieving our dreams.

And thats why i want to ctb. i dont want to work for the next 30 years just barely getting by only to retire poor and old. House prices in my country are fucking ridiculous - over a million dollars is considered normal so iv given up trying. what is the fucking point?

So basically wishful thinking doesnt get you anywhere only makes you more depressed and want to ctb even more
