shriveling

we all know that plants left in a very dark place will eventually shrivel up and die. i think the same can be said for the human soul. it's been very dark for a very long time.

at least....

i just realized that my life - alone, unemployed, struggling with depression - is what other people are using as a comparative to make themselves feel better about their own. i guess i should be glad to be of service at this difficult time in the world.

from the nightmare that i call myself

for my epitaph

"he had a tendency to trust the wrong people."
