Sometimes you have to know when to give up on life, and this seems like one of those times.

I’ve spent my whole life trying hard at everything I do. Studying, exercising, trying to be a good friend, partner, child, person… But despite all my efforts, it seems that everything always goes wrong in the end.

I studied music at the conservatory. What good is that doing me now? Nothing. I’ve obtained official certificates in several languages. What good are they doing me? Nothing. I’ve completed a degree and a master’s degree. Am I finding work (literally anything)? No. I exercise and eat well to stay strong and healthy. Have I been sick for more than two weeks? You didn’t expect this, but I’m going to say yes.

There are so many questions that, when I ask myself, the answer is contrary to the effort I put into answering them that I wonder if it wouldn’t be better to just give up, stop studying, stop looking for work, eat whatever I want and not lift a finger. Not to strive to be ethically good to myself, not to argue with people about my beliefs, not to worry about anyone but myself.

After all, what good has it done me all this time?

So I was watching Jeopardy! yesterday while cutting out New Yorker comic strips.(because why not) One of them reminded me of this woman who somehow knew who she was going to marry and who her friends would be at her wedding.

My dad and I started talking about it, and he said, “It would be funny if we did that—like, have you name a bunch of people.” Then he started listing only boys’ names, which honestly annoyed me.

It reminded me of when I was little and you would always say, “One day, when you get married to a boy or a girl…” which I always appreciated because it never assumed who I’d end up with. So it kind of pissed me off that my dad immediately only came up with boys’ names, especially when you always made a point not to make assumptions like that.So I was watching jeopardy yesterday while cutting out new yorkers commic strpps. one of them remined me of this lady who new who she was going to marry and who her friends would be at her wedding. me and my dad started talking about it and he was like ” it would be funny if we did that like make you say a bunch of names *starts naming only boys names” Like when I was little you would always be like one day when you get married to a boy or Girl.

like dad maybe I’m biiiii????
