Anyone like me?
Dear god, yes. I've been ruminating about it all morning - it's a victim mentality. Without it is just a void. To never feel sadness, self-hate, anger, envy, or any of that ever again, while it would be a sign of maturity, would be so empty it's unfathomable. Like, what would I even think about if not how worthless I am, how hopeless life is, and how bad I need a magic fix? What else is there - it's like that, right?

And like rcat was saying, you/we have no right to feel pain, not when so many people have it worse. So now those feelings HAVE to go...but can they?
