Hey, I can understand. It makes sense. I would wake up everyday and I look at my life and I think "I don't want to deal with this" and I would just shut the world out. I used to use drinking and pot and pills for it, anything to alter the world, and eventually I didn't need any of that, I could shut everything out on my own. I thought it was awesome.

But, you know, sometimes the world sucks. It just does. But whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, we're still living in it. And if we give it a chance, it does get better. Things do improve. But you have to give them a chance to.

I'm not gonna jump down your throat with a bunch of rehab talk, but you know, it's probably a good idea. Or a shrink might be. I think the biggest factor is dealing with all the things in your life. Accept the things that are bad so you can try to improve them, and wake up in the morning and want to get up. You deserve to live in the real world, at it's best.
