[2025-01-01 17:44:09 PST] The more I look upon my future the more I think that the light is dimmer on the otherside of the tunnel. Though out of pure instinct I move towards it, as that's the only way forward at this point. I try to do things that make me happy, go out to eat with my mom, play cards, that sort of thing. It only gets rid of the desolation for a bit. It's all noise at this point. The voices are getting louder and more violent, the episodes are becoming more frequent, and I'm stationed near sharp objects. It takes a lot of willpower not to cut whenever I'm close to a knife. I want to roll up into a ball and scream until it stops but that won't help. I want to walk out into the wilderness and get lost in the trees, but that is also unrealistic. The only direction I'm moving is forward, might it be for greener pastures or towards insanity. Only time can tell.
