I could do a questionnaire but figured this would be more fun. I have a good inkling of what I think my type is but I’m curious what y’all would think. I’ll update with a freewrite everyday for a week and then by the end (5/2), I’ll check what the consensus is with a poll. I’m also using this as a way to get myself back into freewriting again so essentially I’m killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Soooo. Without further ado heres my first freewrite:
I want to be a rock. Or a dog. Just not human. I’m tired of being human, I’m tired of maintaining this body and I’m tired of having a consciousness. I’m not depressed, at least I don’t think I am. Just feeling aimless. Restless.
From the moment I was born til now, I still cannot seem to place my finger on what it is I want out of life. I think about the meaning of it all only to figure out that there really is no meaning. You live, you die, the cycle repeats itself. Strife, destruction, love, birth. That’s all there is to it. We are all just in an endless loop.
I put on a mask to fake the semblance of normality. I laugh, I smile easily. Expressions are worn effortlessly. I’ve practiced over the years, of course. But I’ve blended in all too well now. Very well. Albeit some days— someone will catch me stall. The smile will falter and I won’t know what to say anymore. There’s a glitch and they know it.
I wish I could break it all down. I want to scream, I want to wreck things. I want to run as fast as possible and never look back. I don’t want to come back. My everyday has become too much. But as much as I feel all this, I still strive to be normal. I am still striving to be “good”. I am scared the day will come that I will give up on another career just because I “felt like it”. It’s always like this.
I just feel too disconnected. A bit discombobulated. I don’t feel like I function right at all. Yet people say otherwise. I’m tired. But proud.
