Another day of existential dread (fun!)

I get hit every once in a while with an idea that feels really special… a mod for a game, a book/story idea, a poem, a project. Just something, and it comes at me from left field. I’m surrounded by family and friends who are achievers, goal followers and success-oriented. People have passions and purposes, and they often go after them. Its exciting, and honestly I’m envious. I’m lucky enough to have the luxury of time and money to pursue a new hobby or thing (i’m not doing a lot these days) but the problem for me is that I lack the will to keep up with my ideas. I think im pretty decent at writing, or atleast thats what people tell me. But for some reason i cant ever get through writing a few chapters of a story before loosing my intent or trying to make it too perfect. When i start to picture my projects on a large scope, the vastness of them daunts me, and i loose the interesting appeal of a new activity and start to see it as work. Maybe I’m bad at commitment, maybe its the poor attentionspan of our generation, maybe its my adhd or depression or maybe its a combination of all of those things. Anyhow, I just find myself bored and lonely, not really with purpose or enjoying shit, yet also not really in enough of a mood to find something to do? fuck, apathy is getting to me.


Im gonna try to end this on a lighter note, for my own sanity. Morals and mantra shit; take it or leave it if you like, just words I wanna stick to myself: I guess on reflection that its not always a bad thing to not know where i am. I’m still young and have a lot of shit to learn, and these times right now are shitty and hard. Its a struggle, and I’m desperately trying to hold on. If you feel similar, hold on too. I definately cant promise things get better, but something deep inside me still hopes it will. Who the hell knows, take care of yourself. Relax, you sure as hell deserve it
