Well that just goes to show that i'm not good for anything
This just broke me and i'm prolly going to go in a deep depressive state for the rest of my life
Back to being suicidal , well **** my life
was never **** and never will be
just sewer trash
Like others have said, if you (or anyone in here) need to talk or just vent, hit one of us up...me included. Don't hesitate, my man...we're all willing to help.
This thread had an underlying feel of a brotherhood to it, && I personally think that's cool as ****
...so, from one NT brother to another (and to any of the others that this may help)...
You are far from 'sewer trash', FAR from it...I know we don't know each other personally, but you cannot tell me && expect me to believe that there isn't someone (I'm more than willing to bet there are several people, minimum, if you give it some thought) who thinks you're a hell of a lot more than what you believe yourself to be right now...who think of you as a king, as a champion...as one who is capable of achieving great things during your stay on this Earth && serving as an inspiration to those around you. But how will you find out...how will you ever find out just how great you truly are if you allow yourself to be held captive by the doldrums of life? Think of the burden you'd potentially be placing on those who care for && look up to you if you allow yourself to just wave the white flag in your life...the reason I say this to you, is because, having been in a similar spot, this goes through my mind daily...you could go as far to say that this is the main thing that keeps me going...
As far back as I can remember, I've always been expected by my family to be this great figure...and I hate it, because it's a spotlight that I've never really embraced, but couldn't && still can't avoid either. Skipping grades && graduating HS at 16 was great back when I did it...it felt good to know that I was capable of achieving the uncommon. But, that moment is the same moment which led to me feeling broken because I didn't hack it at all in college...
&& became a firm believer in && of my own failures as a result. Seven years after that high school graduation day, still having that as my biggest accomplishment in this world is nothing short of pathetic to me, && if I were to evaluate myself from the perspective of living up to others' expectations, I'd be one of the biggest failures out here...because all the belief that my folks had in me years ago, is mostly gone today. Luckily...proving those same people right or wrong isn't my battle anymore, nor is validating myself to others who have done me wrong in relationships, etc...I've beaten myself up enough due to the aforementioned, && I won't any longer...
For, a challenge greater than me has presented itself, giving myself a new purpose here. I have 2 younger sisters who gotta go through the rest of their lives without their father, which has put the onus squarely on me to be the leading male figure in their lives, even though they're both now young adults in their own right. Not to mention their younger siblings, whose lives I've taken an increased role in as well...life has now demanded me to find my greatness, there's no option...for, if I don't, then I convey to them that mediocrity is acceptable.
All this to say, my dude...with adversity comes opportunity for redemption. Don't let life's challenges destroy you, man...do not allow your proving ground to become a deathbed! Find your greatness, && grow into it...if not for you, then at least for those you care about. There's nothing wrong with being knocked down in life, it comes with the territory, && it's never too late to change the narrative...but there is no honor in staying down on that canvas, giving up on yourself when you've got so much more to give.
I **** with y'all, I really do...time for a 4 am workout now.
