Forever asleep

Photographyanimal profile image

You know what I really want to do? I want to go to a dreamless sleep and never wake up. That’s exactly how I fee right now. I always seem to mess things up. I feel like no one would even notice if I was here or not. No one would have to worry bout me questioning everything that goes on. That’s what I want, to sleep.

I understand. Sleep is my escape too. You would be missed! So don’t do anything foolish. Keep hoping things will get better. Sometimes that sounds like the worst thing to tell someone but try and look forward to something.

I mess up everything too. Like Ron White says :“You can’t fix stupid” . But dammit we have to get up.

I sleep just to make the day go by faster, only to have another bad day ahead.

“Keep hoping things will get better” Really? What if the person is broke, old, alone, a burden to his family and, in constant chronic pain? Get real. I myself can’t wait to fall asleep every night and know I’ll have to endure another day of physical and mental pain when I wake. Every. Single. Day.

I do it because that’s the natural instincts of all living beings but, remarks like this are insulting to those (like me) who have a firm understanding of our situation.

I’m considering euthanasia for my lifelong best friend, my dog. He doesn’t have the intellectual reasoning you and I have. But if he did, I would not insult him by giving that advice. I HATE to see him suffer. One day, we will treat humans with the same dignity we do animals. I won’t hold my breath waiting for that day.
