I've always wanted to trust life, wanted to love it, embrace it. But even from a young age I always just realized how fundamentally depressing it is. We come from nothing, find people or things we love, and then are guaranteed death while we have absolutely no clue what happens after death. It's even more frightening when you realize how ridiculously misleading and scientifically inaccurate religion is (no offense). It's just so fucking depressing, if I knew I could be with my family forever I'd be one happpy fuck but I'm just gonna lose them no matter what ): In a way its kept me from expressing my love to them because I don't want to be as attached as I would be, because it's just going to be so painful. In many ways I'd rather have never been alive, because if I am alive when my mom or dad dies (unlikely) it would destroy me. They are the nicest people on the planet to me, they gave me everything, how am I just supposed to move on when they die? I've always struggled with problems like this, I just can't trust the universe even though I desperately want to, maybe I just want too much out of life, maybe I am greedy,entitled, selfish I dont know. I would just like a means of existence that allowed me to not have the guarantee of heartbreak and separation that this one has, and that is obviously too much to ask. Am I missing something obvious here? I feel fucked up, other people are so happy despite all of this, all I can do is dwell on my mortality and how no matter what I do in life I'll end up dead in a hole separated from the people and things I love, I feel insignificant. Earth is a dot, ~100 year lifespan is literally a blink of an eye on the cosmic scale. Life feels like such a tease to me, I'm sure I'm just a cynical fuck who can't see it right but I can't help it. I want more.
