I'm suffering from a serious lung illness that might, "take me out of the game" and honestly it's so cathartic to read stuff like this. You get a sense that death is just another milestone. It isn't degrading. I hope as an atheist that it is, "the end" in the Buddhist sense when I go.

I'm so tired and angry. I miss the calm of the evening. I don't miss my friends. I never fell in love and I don't regret it. Life is worth losing.



This hurts my heart to read.

I hope you find peace soon.


Having a wife and kids is the purpose and meaning of life. Same as it is for every other biological creature. Miss out on that, and life is worth losing.


Good luck anon. I think you've nailed it in the last sentence.

For me it was liberating to realize that my life isn't that special and it's not a huge tragedy to lose it. I'll do what I can while I am here. Not even gods can ask me for more. And death doesn't take away all the things I did in the meantime.
