We’re all walking around with these glossy eyes. “I’m just tired,” we say. But you know what? It’s bullshit. Yes, we are tired, but it’s not from lack of sleep. We are tired of waking up with nothing to look forward to, tired of being to bed exhausted after doing a million things we find no enjoyment in doing. We’re tired of this void, this emptiness that looms over us even though our days our packed. We’re tired of the loneliness that presses down on us even though we’re surrounded by dozens of people. So why can’t we can it? Humans are so afraid to look into each other’s eyes and say “I am unhappy, I am broken, I am hopeless and fallible.” We’ve been conditioned to associate pain with weakness, sadness with coldness, loneliness with unworthiness, difference with disease, as if these feelings are contagious, as if ambivalence is something not to be felt but to be feared. Well, I say screw all of that.
