you don't want to die, you want to live

this is a thought I had when I was younger

you know – that feeling you have when you look at what you have around you, and you are literally unsatisfied with everything

you overthink and you think that maybe life will be better if you are not around anymore

but overthink more, and you start to find the root of it

the reason of your unhappiness is because life isn't the way you want it to be

you are unhappy at how life currently is, not at life in general

if you change your life for the better, you will most likely feel better about it too

then it becomes clear

you don't want to die, you want to live

you don't want your life to be over. you just want the shitty parts to be gone

and that's what you should do

remove the parts you don't want, slowly

make more for new happenings to enter. and if you don't like them, remove the new ones too

until you are left with a life you somewhat like, eventually

and then go from there

    We all wanted to die at some point because we are so tired of what is going on with our lives. Sleep become our escape and that doesn’t help anymore so, we wished to die. But in reality, we just want to end our sadness, problems, or whatever shitty life’s bringing us. Thank you for giving people a different perspective. 🤍

    I want to die, but I want to live. but the real thing is I just want the shitty part to be gone. that’s the point!

    I cried for hours last night about death and the thought that I wouldn’t be here one day…but I wasn’t crying about dying. I was crying about the fact that right now, here in the present, I’m not afraid to die. I am not scared. I would feel relieved and at peace finally and that feeling I would never be able to get in the now. That the people and animals in my life I hold onto perhaps don’t need me as much as I need and that’s ridiculously unhealthy…but they keep me alive. I feel alone in how I feel everyday and everyone says that, it’s so cliché and common. I feel stupid for even feeling that it’s so heavy. It’s so heavy and I’m not quite strong enough to carry it yet.

    I do agree with everything you said here. I was lost for the past month and i wanted to leave everything and forget anyways i can.removing everything that is making you feel this way is really easy to say but very hard to do.

    Love your poems, your writing.. thank you for taking the time to send us emails.
