The discontent I feel can't be just me. In fact, I know it's not. This feeling...of being trapped, of being afraid to embrace who I am, of never being as good to people as they deserve. It's a disease. We're a distracted world. Caught up in bright lights and comfort. Of power that exists only in the tiny little world in our minds. Dear Lord, I hope I can move past it, because when the world tells me the tension on my shoulders and the weight on my heart can only be cured with pills to empty my mind and ease my restless and racing conscience, I only become more resolved that the answer lies far outside the path that those same well-intentioned people have laid for me.

It's not just you, I promise.
there's a cure...music. specifically Hercules and Love Affair (that's just one band...not two).
I am hearing you loud and clear. It's problematic.
I think we need breaks from life.
Not in a death-related way, but rather that we should escape from things and pretend to be different people for a while. I will be Lady Cordelia Featherbottom, from Hertfordshire, I raise fancy dogs in my spare time and enjoy kite flying and jai alai.
