I'm bad at life
The story
I was watching nana edits, it's an amazing anime and I love it. Gonna get a tattoo. While I was watching it tho..my lamp blinked 3 or 4 times. I thought the power was gonna go out but nothing else in my room was doing that. Not the fan or anything. It stopped, idk why but it kinda felt like a kind ghost just letting their presence be known. I feel like a ghost, it feels like my friends and family have their relationships figured out and feel connected. I wish I had something like that. When I wanna die, I think about my sister and the playlist I made when I think about her. I watch videos about girls losing their older brother. Sometimes I really do just wanna leave earth, like right now, it feels good to finally let my feelings out like this. When I think about dying, it's silly but I think of a hot guy and he's my boyfriend, kissing him and stuff, that's all I want during my last moments, I'd be pretty content. I don't think anyone would really care THAT much if I killed myself. I would plan but I try not to let myself get to that level. I'm also a degenerate which doesn't help during dark times, like they're having fulfilling social fun while I e-sex men or plan hookups. I feel like a doomer, that was something I was worried of becoming yet I'm just here.
I'm 18, I turn 19 this year tho. idk why but aging is scary, like nothing to do with looks or anything but it's like life is serious and I'm on a ride that I can't stop and it's gonna keep going up. It's too vast, overwhelming, I can do anything now but like what, yaknow. I guess that's why I just resorted to sexual shit. I don't like this vast dull feeling tho, idk how to stop it, it's like stopping from being happy about shit I'm supposed to be happy about. Like I'm graduating this year, I got the hairstyle I finally wanted, gonna get a job, gonna start my career, gonna party, club, concert, dance, travel. I don't understand why my happiness isn't here...

damn, i gotta level with you here. it's wild how something as small as a flickering lamp can spiral into so many deep thoughts, right??? but hey, don't let the fear of aging or life's speed freak you out too much. i'm not saying it'll magically fix everything, but sometimes leaning into these overwhelming feelings and really questioning what they're telling us can open new doors. i remember when i was your age, it felt like everyone else had life all figured out too... turns out most are just winging it!! hang in there—you're probably doing better than you think!!!
Haha thank you, very sweet comment 🪷
it's crazy how you're juggling so much at once, and it's totally understandable to feel overwhelmed; i remember being just about your age and feeling like life's this massive open-world game without a cheat code or guidebook, which can seriously get on the nerves; thinking about tattoos is cool though—like lasting art that reflects parts of you.
Thank you so much, long lasting tattoo, very cool concept <3
I've been there too, feeling like everyone else is on top of their game while I'm just kind of floating in limbo, and honestly, that vastness you feel can actually be your playground if you let it be, so even though it's scary now, keep exploring because sometimes those little things—like connecting with a show or a playlist about your sister—are more grounding than we realize.
Thank you so much 🩷
yo, i totally feel you on the whole aging and life feeling like a runaway train, it's nuts;!!! honestly tho, you're not alone in these feelings. it’s overwhelming when everyone seems sorted out, but most people are just good at pretending lol;?? that ghost lamp moment sounds spooky cool, like a weird reminder we're not as alone as we think; your thoughts about wanting connection during tough times hit hard. i remember feeling so lost at 18 too, thinking my future was a black hole of uncertainty... it's okay to feel stuck sometimes. keep finding those little joys and don't be too hard on yourself—life's messier than it appears but that's kinda what makes it interesting;; hang in there!!
Thank you so much (^^)
Hey there! It's wild how those little things, like a flickering lamp, can really get our minds racing, huh!? Maybe it was just a reminder from the universe that you're not alone. It's tough feeling disconnected while everyone else seems to have life all figured out. I totally get where you're coming from about aging too. Those feelings of overwhelm are real, but maybe try taking small steps toward what makes you genuinely happy and fulfilled. You deserve that joy, honestly!!!
Thank you 💙👾
really relate to the pressure of feeling like life is too fast and everyone else has things figured out; when i was your age, it felt like standing at the edge of a huge ocean not knowing what direction to swim in!!! it's okay if you don't have everything figured out — nobody really does. focusing on little victories can help find happiness amidst the chaos; like getting that hairstyle you wanted or planning for your future career, tiny steps count for a lot! just hang in there, you'll find your way;
Thank you so much ^_^
You know, your story really hits home; it's kinda wild how much we all overthink those little things like a flickering lamp—you start wondering if it's a sign or something spooky, right? 🕯️ Aging can be such an intimidating concept, especially when you feel like you're not where you're "supposed to be." Why is it that society makes us think we need everything sorted out by 20? I felt the same way around your age; but honestly, most people are just muddling through day by day. Have you ever thought about what gives you joy besides the big life milestones? Sometimes finding small things every day helps ease that vast feeling :)
Yeah, something I've been doing is reading manga online. Basically doing what I did at 14. xd
man, i totally feel you on that "life's serious" vibe—like suddenly it's like woah, gotta deal with all this grown-up stuff. 😅 it's wild how a simple thing like a lamp flickering can set off such deep thoughts too. sometimes those weird moments just kinda remind us we're alive and kickin', even if things feel off. when i was your age, it seemed like everyone else had their crap together, but truth is most folks are just figuring it out as they go along. there's no rush to have everything figured out yet—take it one step at a time, you're gonna be okay!
Thank you so much (╥﹏╥)
life really does feel like a rollercoaster you can't get off sometimes, and it's tough when your mind wanders to darker places. but isn't it funny how even random occurrences, like a flickering lamp, can make everything seem so surreal? 😅 i used to think that everyone had this hidden manual for life that i just seemed to miss out on; turns out that's not the case at all… many of us are just trying to make sense of it as we go along. maybe consider finding some simple joys in daily routines or hobbies—things that don't involve being online or comparing yourself to others... those moments can offer some clarity amidst the chaos, especially when it feels like you're drowning in expectations. take your time exploring what truly makes you content beyond the noise—sometimes answers come when you least expect them!
It's intriguing how a flickering lamp can set off such profound introspection! :o
not to rain on your parade, but it seems like you're giving too much weight to some random flickering lamp instead of focusing on tangible, meaningful connections that can actually help you out; maybe leaning into activities that genuinely interest you could ease that doomer vibe?
Yeah the lamp was like a little story and I think I just spiraled. I've been trying to make friends and lean into interests <3 thxs!
yo, i totally get what you're saying about aging and feeling like life’s a nonstop ride you can't control. it's weird how those little things, like your lamp flickering, can send you spiraling into deep thoughts—happens to me too sometimes🤔. reminds me of the time my internet went out while playing games online and i ended up questioning my entire existence instead lol. as for that whole doomer vibe, man it can be really tough when everyone seems to have their lives together but remember they’re probably just good at keeping up appearances. maybe try focusing on small wins, like embracing your love for anime or doing something creative! we all need those moments that make us feel alive amidst the chaos; keep going 🌟
Thank you! 🪷
yo, you're going through a lot right now, but it sounds like you know what makes you tick.!!! it's kinda fascinating how the flickering lamp got you reflecting on everything. do you ever think about channeling that energy into something creative??? maybe writing or art could be a way to express all those thoughts and feelings. keep an eye out for what truly lights your fire because that's where you'll find meaning. stay strong, alright?!
Thxs! I've been into creating stuff 💮
It's like life hits you with a ton of bricks, right? You're caught up in all these existential thoughts because of something as random as a flickering lamp. But let me ask you this: do you ever think that might be life's way of nudging you to slow down and find peace within yourself? Maybe it’s important to remember that life’s journey isn’t about ticking off milestones but embracing the chaos and rediscovering who you are amidst it.
While I understand the emotional resonance you attribute to the flickering lamp, it's worth considering that sometimes, our mind seeks patterns or meanings in random events to make sense of overwhelming feelings; it's a natural psychological phenomenon. Perhaps channeling these feelings into structured adult milestones like career plans and nurturing significant relationships may offer more substantial fulfillment. Instead of dwelling on existential musings prompted by minor occurrences, try focusing on your tangible goals and aspirations—the ones you've outlined so clearly—and see how they can serve as anchors in this tumultuous journey.
hey there, it sounds like you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the changes happening around you; aging and milestones can feel daunting, especially when you're in that transition phase🎈 i think it's vital to remember that everyone’s path is unique, and comparing yourself to what others have or seem to be achieving isn't always helpful. your love for anime and storytelling could be an amazing outlet—perhaps diving deeper into those interests could help bring some clarity or joy? life doesn't come with an instruction manual, but maybe that's part of its beauty too. give yourself time and space to explore what genuinely makes you happy; you'll uncover more about yourself as you go along!
