Final remark:
The worst part is that I think Im the problem
I feel like I put so much effort into making other people happy but maybe it isnt enough
I guess its true that people can only judge what you put out into the world and never the small things internally
I feel broken
Do is “hey how’s work” or “how’s school” and it becomes awkward because nobody wants to talk about that
And I don’t have the bubbly personality to be personable and im bad at talking
So we slowly drift apart and don’t talk for months l
I feel sick that I’m losing my friends
I wish I was better at maintaining my relationships
When I hang out with my friends in person and we’re close proximity it’s always great but when they leave it’s so hard to keep up
I feel like I don’t have much in common with them as we lead different lives
The most I can
I play videogames that I dont even like to try to keep up with some friends but it’s so draining sometimes
For those who don’t play games what can I do but send them reels or something but they dont check my messages for months
I’m burning myself out by stretching myself thin
It already feels bad that I’ve basically almost lost contact with friends who already graduated or friends back home
And when I try to reach out to some people they don’t respond for weeks
This inevitable sense of loneliness and doom that comes ticking day by day is sickening
Even with my friends at college now I know it’s inevitable because they rarely keep up on social media and we don’t talk on there
I feel sick to my stomach that I’m eventually going to drift away from my friends when we leave for postgrad
Same goes for friends back home too
Nowadays I find myself going to the library or central campus just to sit and scroll on my phone instead of at home because there are people out and about and it feels less lonely

I want to do something memorable with my life
I want to do something that matters
I’m sick of pretending I was practical. I was never responsible as a person in the first place.
I’ll worry about realism when I’m old enough. I want to be selfish in the present and try
