I’m the same. Apparently this is a common thought among youth who grew up troubled. Poor, abused, trauma, and the like.
No way! I fit all of those criteria!
Do I win a prize?
You get to live longer than you thought! Congrats! Now you just gotta figure out what you wanna do with it.
End it
I figured I’d die in my early twenties, what with all the risky behaviors. I didn’t even fear old age until around 25, when it occurred to me that I’d turned my life around.
Never related to a meme so hard. Now that I’m here and not dead—what do I even do? Lmao lemme know if y’all figure it out.
Hits specially close to home
You’re not alone
I remember feeling somewhat like that in my teens and 20s, but later on I had 2-3 years of health incidents that made me seriously question how long I’d live. I was given some poor circumstances as a result but also made some regrettable decisions based on acting like I’d just die. It turns out I didn’t yet, and it’s been hard to figure out what to do next.
Definitely wish I hadn’t spent so much time convinced I was going to kill myself that nothing else was worth doing or learning or trying. 19 feels really far away now and I’ve gotten nothing good out of life since then.
