I literally ::couldn’t:: imagine a time like this.
I spent most of my 20s unable to see a future worth sticking around for. I felt like the universe was kicking me over and over again - lots of major obstacles & disappointments. I felt directionless, hopeless & trapped. I thought about suicide often and when I felt “better,” I still felt like I was building a coffin around myself, getting deeper in the quicksand, and I’d never get out of my situation as long as I lived.
