Ever stared into the night sky, and realized how utterly alone you are, what could you possibly do against such vast emptiness?
With another person perhaps you could fill that void.. but you're alone, perhaps haven't had a friend in years, completely devoid of human contact, cut off?

lol But you're my friend, silly. Everyone on this board is my friend. I'm not alone.

I just embrace it. Other people get in the way. I don't need 'em.
At least, that's what I tell myself.

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless." - Paul Bowles

Other people caused this mess in the first place. When I was a child I was happy, now they have poisoned my mind - told me to want things I never had. I was entirely content being lost in my world of fantasies, oblivious to the fact that they only were a product of my longing.

Trips confirm it. When you think about it, the only reason why we consider ourselves failures is because we didn't live up to societies checklist. Gotta have a job, significant other, and a big house. When you discard the desire for those, suddenly life is significantly less shitty. It's still shit but it's not nearly as bad.
