Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

TW for suicide, and drugs.

Spare me the usual replies, please. I’ve heard them all.

I’m going to drop Creamsicle off at a friend’s house today.

“Yay!”

Then I’m probably going to acquire fentanyl somehow, and forget that I ever existed.

I’ve considered writing a letter to my friend, the one I’m always talking about. Creamsicle was originally supposed to be a birthday present for them, but they didn’t want him. I’d love for him to go live with them, but I don’t want them to be sad. I think I just want them to forget I ever existed. I know they probably won’t be too sad but I don’t know. I wish I could say goodbye.

Every single fucking day sucks. I am in the same exact hole today, on March 22nd, 2024, as I was on March 22nd, 2023, and on March 22nd, 2022. The only difference is I just keep getting slightly worse every year. Each winter hurts more than the last. More people stop talking to me and I smile less and life becomes increasingly more stupid and meaningless.

I wish my organization/procrastination/attention deficits weren't so terrible lately so that I could get to know you better. And give you a small fraction of the attention and support you deserve.

And maybe share a few dreams with you. Because most if not all of the dreams I have today flat out did not exist a few years ago. I had no one on my side the way I do now, and no resources to command, and no examples of my own agency. Life felt futile.

Now I am still a credulous oblivious fool with mental struggles and limited career prospects and other life capabilities, but there are a couple promising breaches of self-direction and fulfilment, and lots of people who love me.

Most of how I ended up how I am now came from blunt luck and meeting a bunch of anarchists IRL. Without a certain set of twists my life took, I'm sure I'd be miserable, empty, and possibly even suicidal as well.
