I might CTB in June instead of 2041 like I had previously planned

[amerie]

Lowkey contemplating just living life to the ABSOLUTE fullest for the next few months and offing myself in June, I genuinely am just tired of living and I'm tired of working on myself and coping with the fact that I was born naturally inadequate.

What's the point of having goals if I'm just going to die anyway?

 

[_Gollum_]

"we are all mortal. Regardless of whether we have already heard the whir of the scythe over our head or not, we know about death. [...] Humans live, therefore, beyond the evasions they organize for their self-defense, in a steadily crystallizing knowledge of death. They are like the man who builds a house knowing that it will be demolished at the roofing ceremony. [...] He builds his house by the sweat of his brow, lays brick upon brick, fits in door and window frames--but it will all be in vain."

- On Suicide: A Discourse on Voluntary Death by Jean Améry.

Why did you decide to ctb in 2041? That is an oddly specific date.

I share the sentiment though, I also don't have the motivation to achieve anything if I can just die tomorrow if I want of if I die in general. I fail to see the point.

Because I wanted to achieve some things and develop a legacy before I died.

the problem with setting goals so far out is that youre giving fate/changing circumstances plenty of chances to mess all those plans up and go off the rails
