Life, death, and the meaningless of it all.

Have you ever *really* thought about life? Its absolutely insane. How could this all have happened? So many people die, where are they now? Where was I before birth? What else is out there in the universe? How was the universe created? If it was God, then where did he come from?

Every day I think about this give my self a mini panic attack. Its just so mindblowing

I feel like this would be a bigger topic people would talk about but I guess its still even pointless to discuss it because we'll never actually know.


Living is a crazy thing

Death. Being suicidal and knowing everything is shit is depressing and makes me attempt. Right after I set up everything I think about death and the never ending sleep / darkness.

Failure, being lied to or being betrayed. It's why I play everything safe and am afraid to excel my life further. Whether it be with relationships, at work, or even self-improvement physically. I pull back hard and cut all ties even if I so much as sense the slightest bit of apprehension.

It's fucking stupid and I know it's entirely illogical but I choose not to confront it.

Socialism. I don't mind the basics... Cops, schools, hospitals, roads. But it's getting worse, taxes, national debt, economic retraction. It's getting worse, I feel like the state is working against me trying to better myself and pretty much nowhere these days is non-socialist. Ironically socialism forces people to hoard wealth.

The ocean.
When I was 7 I almost drowned in a pool like a foot taller than me, so I was able to jump up every few seconds, and it was still fucking awful. Just imagining sinking and sinking and sinking with no ground below, pitch black, nothing but ocean and unknown creatures thousands of miles around you

Sort of like this dudes teenaged existential crisis but more with identity and losing all sense of self and the world. Think about how you're just a clump of cells and you change physically.

I'm terrified of my heavily increasing paranoia. I constantly have to clear my browser history or reinstall something because I think they contain demons and monsters after my soul. Just a few days ago I sat and uninstalled and reinstalled my anti-virus for almost two hours because I thought it was evil even though I got it from a website I've used for years.

I know it's illogical to think this way but only rarely can I get myself to stop. I know I need to go see a doc since its constantly hindering me but I'm terrified of telling my parents I'm mental since I'd need them to drive me.

I'd like to have children one day, but I'm related to my father. My dad is a complete fucking ragehead faggot who can't contain his anger for anyone. He beat me, verbally abused me, everything you can imagine coming from a person who is just mad at the world.

I'm scared that if I have kids I might end up like him. I couldn't do that to kids, my dad turned me into a mute and turned me anti-social. God forbid I do that to someone. At the same time, that is why I want kids. I want to make a difference in someone's life and teach them all the things my dad did wrong. I have a way better handle on my anger, and I believe my anger only exists in the first place because of all the shit he did to me. I had no choice but to sit there and take it because if I didn't he'd beat me more. I'd never raise a hand to a kid, or tell them they are fucking nothing.

Eastern thought dismantled my existential worries, Buddhism and such.

You eventually realise there is no self, and nothing to lose. We're just secretions of the moment, and in some moments we feel like we have a past and future, or a fear of a death we will never endure. Just roll with it, there's nothing to fear.

The nature of existence is constant change.
