You are born into a structure you didn't choose. You perform behaviors that the structure rewards. You reproduce the structure. You consume resources. You become exhausted. You eventually occupy the role that was waiting for you. And then someone else takes your place.

We're mere biological machines with a sense of purpose in a universe of cause and effect. Oh, the irony.
Yes, be patient with me. My heart is heavy.
Albert Camus
Dear diary, I feel like being both the person inside the collapsing building and the one calculating the angle of its fall.
Pain and boredom are felt in stretched out microseconds.

What if sleep is actually just time jumps... and our dreams are the static between dimensions? Probably no apparent reason to believe that but just saying..
Having to carry this weight that’s hard to put into words, a loneliness that isn’t just about being alone but about feeling disconnected, from people, from meaning, from whatever it is that could make this existence feel less empty. And on top of that, this relentless curiosity, this hunger to know, to understand, what's beyond existence and the whole absurdity of it. This heavy burden, and no shit my back hurts all the time.
There’s no “real” you in some fixed, separate sense, just a constantly shifting balance of chemicals, neural activity, past experiences, and genetic predispositions. Now this might sound a bit unsettling but I personally find it sort of liberating because it means behavior isn’t set in stone and is rather just the result of whatever’s influencing the system at a given moment.
“Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realize how peaceful and calm it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.”
— Jim Carrey
“Where there is an emptiness, the mind will obligingly fill it up. Fear is always at hand to supply any vacancies, as is curiosity. I have had ample experience with both.”
— Margaret Atwood, The Testaments

“Reality is infinitely diverse, compared with even the subtlest conclusions of abstract thought, and does not allow of clear-cut and sweeping distinctions. Reality resists classification.”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The House of the Dead
If you can’t handle me at my worst, that makes two of us.
Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl // Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Gentle Spirit // Lyric Hunter, "A Garden" // Margaret Atwood, Power Politics: Poems // @artsy_tay_ on Instagram // William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew // Sappho, "If not, Winter" (trans. Anne Carson)
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

“It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling— that really hollowed-out feeling.”
— J.K. Rowling
Hot take here but the overwhelming majority of morality is just social trends influenced by the ebb and flow of innumerable sociopolitical forces outside of anyone's actual control and the vast majority of ethical beliefs held by any given individual have nothing to do with genuine independent thought on their part and are simply emblematic of how that individual happens to be influenced by said trends and forces. Causality and natural laws determine the flow of human thought and behavior just as much as they do the flow of water, because humans are a part of nature. Also we are never going to gain collective enlightenment, because humans are not neurons in an ancient brain and we do not, when considered as a collective, literally constitute a singular being who learns and grows over time. Humans today are the same kind of beings as humans from 50,000 years ago, and humanity cannot ever meaningfully change because it is human nature and not ideology that ultimately determines how we think and behave as a species, and all ideology is ultimately both a product of and subject to this nature. And we cannot make concrete philosophical progress in the same sense that we make scientific progress, because philosphical truth and morality and ideas are not objective properties of reality, and all it takes to "unlearn" a philosophical belief is to have a reason, even an entirely subconscious reason, to not want to believe it, whereas something like how a light bulb works is true whether you want to believe it or not, and people (most of the time) do not have any psychological motivation to abandon scientific claims and observations. There is a reason why history repeats itself and progress backslides and problems that have plagued humanity for at least as long as recorded history continue to do so, and why issues just come right back in new forms whenever they are meaningfully addressed, and why they are so rarely ever meaningfully addressed in the first place, and why you can see certain types of oppression and depravity everywhere in the world no matter where you go. Humans are humans and will always be humans. And yes, that fact is incredibly depressing and disheartening, and yes it does mean that having genuine faith in the idea of "progress" is misguided.
