Four Years
I've been thinking a lot lately about everything. There's so many thoughts circulating throughout my head that I want to just pin down and let out one at a time. I guess that's why I still write.
Currently, I live in New York City. I have no friends. I do not want any. I'm not good with relationships at all because I am lost inside my own head. I am lost in my own head 'cause I am lost in life. There was a path with an unknown destination that I once had. Every day I'd live it, meet new people, be with people, but never folded to the crowd. I guess that's what "riding the wave" meant. One day, I decided to live a life like others, and I lost my way. Now, I no longer have those relationships I once had; they seemed to become a poison to my being. Probably because I was headed down a dead-end street that everyone else knew not to follow. Well, I reached the bottom.
I am tired and bored with everything. There's no reason why I want to continue living like this. I do not like my current job. My love of life is meaningless. I find myself standing on the edge of rooftops looking over the city. Sometimes I have thoughts of jumping, but then I think of how wasted my life would be. I hate those thoughts. I hate how I even have them. Standing on the edge should be liberating and exciting. But it feels so numb. Not what I want, just like where I am in life. I guess it doesn't feel good anymore cause I have nothing to look forward to.
But there is the light. There is nothing. I am nothing, just an empty void. And only over the past few days have I started realizing that as an empty void, all alone, no friends but my family, I am capable of anything as I do not have anything to lose. It was so hard to see that I should start living my life, to see that I have a life to live and that no one cares what I do. Meaning, I can do anything without worry because no one matters anymore. There are no crosses to hold, except my commitment to my mother for raising me.
I guess when it comes down to it, the fact that I am alone means that I am unchained. Funny thing is that having nothing means you have everything to live for. An empty void can be filled with life for eternity. Sometimes the glass looks empty, but really it is a container than can be filled if one decides to.
I need to look at schools this weekend. I need a better job to occupy my time. I need some more responsibility and obligations. I do not need friends at all, no one that is here today and gone tomorrow. There is no need to feel disposable. It's time to grow. Also, it's time to lift heavy things.
