    My eyes are closing, and my vision is narrowed. Don't think I will ever end myself. But I'm afraid if things stay like this… I will lose my sense of self, and my sanity. That fact terrifies me more than anything… I can't be the only person with a "level head" or "critical thinking skills" anymore. How do people fall into their ways of thinking and not see the consequences or the foreseeable future??? Why does it feel like the people around me can't see past themselves and the hurt they cause?? WHY THE FUCK DOES IT FEEL LIKE NOBODY IS LEARNING FROM THEIR MISTAKES

    I just went 2-23 in a game of competitive valorant. some may think that im weak minded for wanting to die, but in reality its a wish that the world and the competitive valorant q could be better without me. maybe im not meant tobe alive and winning, but rather a soul put onthis earth to help others win.

    I guess in my good life I would be:
    Kind I always envy people who have the courage to help others
    I would want to be hardworking: I feel like throughout my life never saw anything through to the end I quit soccer when I was 8 because other kids laughed at me for not knowing how to tie my shoes,I still never learned (im 16)
    Funny: I have been told I was a pretty funny guy through my life I always made a few people laugh hard but these past few years I’ve been isolating myself I’m kinda scared I’m no longer funny.
    Most importantly I want to try try and feel everything even the lows so I can embrace the highs

    I like how the clips with the texts look and feel similar to jack staubers style which really helped feel comfortable and stay/listen to everything. Really great video though good job.

    This video found me at a very strange time in my life. Sometimes we don’t actually want to die, we just desperately want the pain, exhaustion, confusion, and constant heaviness to stop. I really appreciated how this video didn’t romanticize suffering or simply tell people to “stay strong.” It acknowledged how complicated it can be to keep going when you can’t even imagine things getting better.

    The part about not making permanent decisions from a temporary state of unbearable pain really stayed with me. Sometimes all you need is enough time for the next chapter to arrive.

    Thank you for making this. Someone who watches this at the right moment might decide to stay one more day, and sometimes one more day is everything. ❤️

    if most of my life is having to put up with people being an ass to me for fun and trying to assert power over me no matter how nice I am then how the hell is happiness an option?
