"I don't remember myself being this pathetic before...601Please respect copyright.PENANA00OoNtxRm4
I have no motivation left to try, I don't have any patience left in me...601Please respect copyright.PENANA6QF6PmNeN1
I feel like I'm becoming more and more useless each day.601Please respect copyright.PENANAzXk87vD11Q
And I know that i don't even try, but I get so anxious when I think about exams..."601Please respect copyright.PENANAnUNbHeHM8t

"I'm scared that I might give up on myself."
Have I already given up on myself?

"We all have our ups and downs. We're human. It's incredibly hard to be consistent, since we're not machines (ISTJs go brrrr though). As long as we think, we'll keep on making excuses for ourselves... and that's normal. Everyone does it. 601Please respect copyright.PENANA2JSdO6fjvP
At the end of the day, you're worrying and thinking about your own future. 601Please respect copyright.PENANAYyaUtd5KED
A person who thinks about changes, and is willing to change...601Please respect copyright.PENANAwc4uiixXaF
Is absolutely not pathetic.601Please respect copyright.PENANAnHWJAeRheB
You're not garbage."601Please respect copyright.PENANAzmBUfUZKOy

"Being strong enough to get up and fight every day is a special talent. You never know, there might be someone very close to you doing it... just for you."
I know I don't work very hard, but I hate being told that more than almost everything. I hate it when my parents remind me that I've done nothing. I hate it when they tell me to do work. Stupid, isn't it?
I once told my parents that I would continue to feel inferior, worthless and unsuccessful if I don't make a decent salary in a few years. You know what they said?601Please respect copyright.PENANAopvBbF1iKT
"It's okay. You don't need to make money. You can live under our our roof forever."601Please respect copyright.PENANAMhm3iBT8hE
601Please respect copyright.PENANAIvAP5DwA81
I don't want that though. Despite everything, I want to live by my own efforts. I'm a mess, yet I don't want anyone's help. I mean, I can ask for help when I need it, but...601Please respect copyright.PENANATllCAkPEA4

Sorry, mum. Nothing's working out for you huh?601Please respect copyright.PENANARTxuRnW5DE
You wasted all your money on all the sports, instruments, tutoring lessons on your son. 601Please respect copyright.PENANAExREwGdidz
Your son didn’t meet all your expectations.601Please respect copyright.PENANAVO9a8HtBBU
Your son doesn't want to get married.601Please respect copyright.PENANAke1M2Pzjrg
Your son might just end up a broke loser on the street.601Please respect copyright.PENANAwJi4wJpNtt

You know, you paid thousands of dollars for my overnight contact lenses, only for me to be too lazy to wear it.601Please respect copyright.PENANAoeCHAfW4Ou
You paid another thousand for me to do that Duke of Edinburgh challenge, though I never submitted my report and ended up never getting the certification. I still never told you... to this day.
Sorry, dad. 601Please respect copyright.PENANAd30WpCLtly
I know I said I'd pay you back for everything you've given to me, but I don't know if I can.
I might just be the worthless child you tried so hard to prevent me being.
Hahaha.
I'm sorry, I'm just a coward, so I just want to run away. Take the easy way out.601Please respect copyright.PENANAqmAREyy3J6
I'm scared of failing, so.

But today, too, I'm still alive. So even though I've accomplished nothing, even when it looks like there's no escape, I'll keep going. I have to keep going. I'll finish my degree. If I get a full-time job, so be it. If I don't, then that's fine. I might regret it. But at the end of the day, I'm alive. No matter how afraid I am for tomorrow, I'll have to face it. The main thing keeping me unhappy... is me.
Thanks for loving me. I'm sorry I can't love you back as of now, or maybe for a long time to come. But maybe one day, I will.601Please respect copyright.PENANAnTGWGbSoW2

... And on a whim, I sent a voice message containing all of this to my parents (it's 3am right now, but my parents are on vacation elsewhere). Saying it out loud is really something, huh.601Please respect copyright.PENANAWRY0KFZYmL

My mother just sent me back a hug emoji and "goodnight" as it was the last word of my voice message as well. Not going to lie, I think that's the best thing she's ever said or texted. I wonder if she'll write a long paragraph or send a long voice message back later.
