Mars’s Reviews > Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead > Status Update

There are a lot of things on earth that I think would be considered magic if they weren't real. Dreaming, for example. The fact that babies are created inside of women's bodies; the whole concept of conception. Cas-tles. Trees. Whales. Lions. Birds. Rainbows. Water. The northern lights. Vol-canos. Lightning. Fire.

"what if birds were like people?"
"What if birds had concerts, wouldn't that be weird?"
"What if they had weddings?"
"What if they got each other gifts?"

I wish that I find something distracting enough to occupy my mind with thoughts unrelated to the futility of my existence, or that I die in the least disruptive way possible for my family.

Ah~ depression . :(

"You're an idiot," I hear myself saying. Stop. "And you're the worst kind of idiot because you have no idea that you're an idiot."

HAHAHAHA SHE’S FED UP

Oh.. this js where the heavy parts start…

My mother had a baby, and her mother had a baby, and her mother had a baby. Every woman in my family before me lived to have a baby—just so that baby could grow up to have another baby. If I don't have a baby, then all of those women reproduced just so that I could exist. I am the final product. I am the final baby.

I felt like I was never in the moment I was in. I was always looking back, or worried about the future.

He laughs and repeats, "I wish I were dead. I wish I were dead."
I shove him in the corner. He keeps repeating, "I wish I were dead”.
I punch him. “Stop saying that!”

I SAY DASURVVV MABUNTOL

"You know, you haven't replied to any of my texts since Christmas”, I confront him.
He rolls his eyes, now tripping to take off his other shoe.
"I thought you were dead," I tell him.
He snorts. "I wish I were dead."
I feel intense anger boil in my
stomach.

Nako. No no talaga.

Everyone in this room has managed to grow old despite how easy it is to die.

[…]

Terrible things have probably happened to every single person in this room, and yet here they are.

Here I am.
