you wonder why I'm bitter...
its not just that i'm bitter, its that it still hurts. Just a thought about k. is enough to bring back a lot of the pain, seeing them, even for a fleeting moment brings it all back. suicide suddenly seems the best option. thankfully the music came and took me away.
but the dreams come and i can't sleep properly, i don't want to wake up and face the world. and then a letter. what do they want from me? why come back and torment me?
they took everything I was trying to build up. took away the foundations and everything gave way.
everyone's the same. i put trust in them, i give them all i can, its accepted and repaid with lies deceit and abuse.
only one hasn't done that yet.
don't worry. in a few days time this will be gone and you won't have to put up with me any longer.
they're not worth me dying over. there doesn't seem much else i can do, but i don't want to let them totally destroy me. there's no reason for me to live besides a peverse determination to try and oppose the absurdity and perversion of life. perhaps i can learn to live an authentic and absurd existence. both difficult prospects. authenticity: i know of nobody who lives authentically. i don't. i despise myself for it.
i leave you with a few words i read today:
"There are many causes for a suicide and generally the most obvious ones were not the most powerful. Rarely is suicide committed (yet the hypothesis is not excluded) through reflection. What sets off the crisis is almost always unverifiable. Newspapers often speak of 'personal sorrows' or of 'incurable illness'. These explanations are plausible. But one would have to know whether a friend of the desperate man had not that very day addressed him indifferently. He is the guilty one. For that is enough to precipitate all the rancours and the boredom still in suspension"
"The body's judgement is as good as the mind's and the body shrinks from annihilation. We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body retains its irreparable lead"
Both of these are quotations of Albert Camus's "The Myth Of Sisyphus".
how i envy those of you who have faith. i can never gain that without becomming someone else, it is not in my nature. i think, i question, how can i accept anything on faith? i must at least have grounds in experience for my hypotheses and i must test them as far as i can. i cannot denounce the existance of a god, but i cannot worship or believe in it without good reason. what comfort it must be to have faith.
