but it takes some serious time to really convince yourself of that truth......but all of this together...it tells me that I'm alive...because without all this chaos and bullshit.......I'd just be a dead man walking.......and even though I feel spiritually drained right now.......it actually gives me strength...because I know I'm living....that I want better for myself......and I'm chasing it..with everything I've got, heart and soul.......
.......I don't know, I can only guess what the actual, single biggest issue is....the real question is just how much longer you're gonna stay stuck in this headspace and whether you've actually got the grit to endure it.
......you seriously need to talk to someone about this...otherwise you're just gonna keep spinning your wheels in circles, because it's pretty obvious you don't have enough confidence or the sheer willpower to trust the answers to the questions that keep popping up in your head.
.....if you catch a glimpse of a positive way out somewhere deep in the fog of your own mind, just make the call and take that path...nobody else is ever going to tell you what the truth is or what the right move is besides yourself.
...good luck, man.
