I've given up on life. I'm not actively going to harm myself, but I definitely am not pretending to have hope that things will be better anymore. I'm paralyzed by the feeling that everything is just so overwhelming and hard, so why bother trying? Why expose yourself to stress and pain trying to live a better life when there's always another challenge right around the corner? Life feels like an endless staircase that we're forced to walk, no matter how difficult it may be. Each step I take hurts and just makes me dread the next one. I'm just so tired of all this. This world constantly tries to beat down any semblance of hope I may have.
