I wake up, I work, I come home, I cook dinner, I take my medications, I go to sleep. Rinse and repeat.
Even when I'm in between school semesters or jobs and have some time to myself, just having to wake up is absolutely exhausting. I wish I could have a break from consciousness. "Oh, I'm still here." Neuronal firing takes so much out of me. Sleep isn't enough. Why do I have to constantly be aware? I wish my consciousness could escape this body. Even to experience death temporarily would be so lovely, peaceful, restful, freeing. I suffer knowing I may have to wait another 70 years to finally have this curse lifted. Survival instinct is the only keeping me alive, and I hate it. Another consequence of our monkey brains stripping us of free will.
