'Aluminum to me, aluminium to some. You can shine like silver all you want but you're just aluminum.' Barenaked Ladies, Aluminum
I feel like I might be heading into mine.
Each new day brings new reasons for me to just be disgusted with the people on this planet, and I find myself shaking my head, groaning, or just laughing in disbelief at the garbage that people do to each other. I teeter closer and closer to hoping for the collapse of everything as society, and people, seem intent on being the dumbest versions of themselves with zero tolerance or compassion or even the slightest respect for the other people around them, let alone animals or the planet.
Each new day I grow further sick and tired of humans as a whole. Society itself seems intent on coming up with bullshit rules and judging other people on this arbitrary values people apply, while more than half the population languishes in hunger, poverty, or despair. We've come up with methods for judging peoples worth based on any number of insane, pointless, singular facets of a persons existence, and as this ideology spreads it becomes more toxic and detrimental to people as a whole.
Mental health has become a huge talking point, with awareness of it being raised constantly. Important! But who dictates what is good or bad in terms of mental health? We lump feelings together and claim they are 'negative emotions' but according to whom? 'Experts?' Anger is a negative emotion, they say, and because they say so we all treat it as such without examining further. Just trust the 'experts' that know nothing more than we do anyways.
'Success' in modern life is dictated not by happiness, but by financial gain and security. By having a romantic relationship with someone. By eventually becoming that cliché suit and tie wearing shmuck that sits in a tower of glass, raking in money and hoarding it for no reason other than to say you have it.
Focus on sexual escapades is as high as ever, with terms like 'incel' and the culture to go with it rising in usage, spreading further in the world and affecting peoples ability to just be people, be themselves, be happy. Theres a deep-rooted belief that sex is everything, and if you cant find a mate then you dont deserve to live, let alone be happy. That you are worthless as a human being if you arent fucking around every day of the year. And people buy into it. Its sickening to me that as intelligent as someone can be, they can still end up trapped in this mindset of sex > all.
Im sick of all of this. Im sick of how stupid the world seems to be. How we could be helping each other and yet we continue to break each other down to lift ourselves up. It is draining to deal with rampant stupidity on a daily basis. Its exhausting to exist in this world so centered on categorizing and judging people based on a singular part of their life or personality. Its tiresome to be constantly shown how the world at large is seemingly at war with itself for the sake of a few dollars trading hands here and there.
Meanwhile, I am completely impotent. I dont WANT to do anything to anyone else. I dont even want to exist outside of my limited friend-bubble. The world can go fuck off for the rest of eternity and leave me alone. All the world's preconceived notions of what is right or wrong. Of what is good or bad for a person and their health. Judging people based on their hobbies or if they make one slip-up in a public speech or tweet. Deciding if a person's life has any value based entirely on how many people theyve fucked, or how many zeroes they have in their bank account statement. Its all insane.
Humanity doesnt deserve this planet. And while Im personally not going to do anything about it, I no longer give a fuck if all of society collapses into an apocalypse and disappears. I sink further into apathy each day that passes. In another 50 years I wont even be around, and the planet can do its own thing. Leave me be, let me enjoy what time I have.
And if this all seems like a negative attitude to have, consider those thoughts youre having. Consider who told you these thoughts are negative. Why do you think this attitude is a bad thing. Think. THINK! Is it truly negative, or is this just parroting what the supposed 'experts' have dictated, and following along with their way of thought. How much of our perception of good or bad is based on what we learn as children? Why not decide for yourself what a negative emotion is, or what a positive one is, too. It is not anger in itself that causes harm, but the actions we take while angry. But you cannot tell me honestly that people do not cause pain, suffering or harm while feeling joy, happiness, or delight. The atrocities committed to fellow people in the name of 'love.' So called positive emotions. What, because those emotions are pleasant to feel? So is anger, when you frame it that way.
Free yourself from the limited mindset that society seeks to put you in.
Oh my goodness, I sound insane. I may have lost it. And yet I dont need help, because Im still very much alive and doing my thing. I enjoy my time as well as I can. I have a smile on my face, because I am confident I have things in my own life sorted out. Im living comfortably and not extravagantly. I have the means to help those I love. I do not want for more, because I already have everything I desire apart from time, to spend freely and willingly with my dear friends and family. I may experience swings in mood, but these need not be bad things, just because some twit somewhere dictated them to be. Make your own choices, and stop fucking up other peoples lives for your own gains.

How social media is teaching people to gain some fame and build their future, by any means necessary. I do think society as a whole has failed. There are still some good people out there, just we see a lot of the bad now. I don't do much outside of my own bubble either to be fair.
