my life is one big addiction if im not blowing my paychecks on weed and booze im blowing it gambling on slots or sports betting
if im not drinking 5 cups of coffee and smoking 30 cigarettes a day, im ordering heroin/xanax/coke/ket/oxy anything on the dark web

xanax cost me both the girl of my dreams and the job of my dreams. i couldve been a software engineer but now im stocking shelves. i had a girl who wanted to marry me and now im single pronanly forever, i ruined everything in my life i had to ruin and i barely remember how or why i did it

and my deepest most ingrained addiction that almost everyone has in 2024 is scrolling and the internet but i've been at it since i was 5 years old in 2004 when i got my first computer. all day every day i already scrolled my youth away.

anything to forget im alive, here on this earth. thats what i want. thats what i need to make it another day.
