I try to be positive because I’ve been there. No friends, lonely, can’t talk to girls, all the negative intrusive thoughts. Can’t get jobs. Turned down. Rejected. Career paths shut down. “Get commissioned, do 20 years in, retire, get a job in the private sector, rock it.” Nope. You stutter. Fuck off. I’ve been there. It sucks. Your feelings are valid, you anger, your resentment at the simple thought of a free tongue. I did it all. Dark poetry, super sad shit that people might have found one day. Never let it win. Punch that shit in the throat.
