I went from being a happy kid that smiled all the time, enjoyed drawing and had several friends to a pathetic adult with no talents, passion, creativity, friends or a job. Just a worthless and unlovable failure. And recently it's gotten so bad that I've started cutting myself and contemplating suicide. I just don't believe I have what it takes to get my life together, sadly.

    meow-hug I'm sorry, and I know how you feel because I have been there. It's the worst feeling in the world. Our capitalist society has this evil way of making us feel worthless. But it's a shitty trick. Don't believe it for a second.

    You are not a failure and life is not a game you are supposed to win or lose, that's just capitalism talking.

    You provide value, whether it's by watering a thirsty plant or by hugging a loved one. You matter. You are enough.

    And even if you didn't provide "value" (whatever that even is is subjective anyway). You don't owe the world anything. You exist, you're alive, therefore you deserve to continue existing.

    Everything we do leaves a print on this planet whether we want it to or not. You are here. You are meant to be here. Your existence proves you have a right to be here.
