“i came across an obscure note in the hidden dephts of the internet: while trying to find some fun activity to do, i recognized there is a persistent flatness in my life, due to which i keep falling back to my default bad habit system. I basically am in a weird stage in life. i want to do something but idk what- to be fair that is what ive been feeling for a long time. also, why is writing so tedious. it feels so slow and useless. people online love to be performative. talking about journaling and shit. its not fun. its boring as shit and barely has any good outcomes that matter in the long run. you do it cause you want to, not because a dude told u to. also, my hand is throbbing cause i am pressing too hard to write. have i forgotten the basic act of writing as well? how far detached will i further become? i need momentum in life. I have been idle for far too long for my liking. i am not someone who can bear the never-ending doom of idleness. everything starts becoming pointless an nothing makes sense. Being born in this country has put me in shackles, which i need to get out of. i need to decide how will that happen. what do you think about this piece of lost literature”
