In The End...

People will get tired of my infinite depression and they will leave me for good - close friends, family, the special one.

I will isolate myself from the rest of the world.

I will fall into darkness.

I will die, a slow and painful death.

I will die, in the memories of others, a silent death.


These... I do not want.

"We call the internal forces that prevent people from living the life they want, or even from keeping a resolution that is important to them, the addiction to unhappiness. Even while people are consciously seeking happiness, they may unknowingly require some degree of discomfort to maintain a sense of inner balance. The unrecognized need to sabotage one's good intentions can explain diverse yet common difficulties, including overspending, fear of new situations, romantic choices that breaks heart, and career mishaps."

"We are not implying that you consistently feel unhappy or frustrated. You want to enjoy your life, and no doubt you usually do feel satisfied and happy. But if you have an addiction to unhappiness then, at least occasionally, you need to cause yourself some type of discomfort in order to maintain your inner equilibrium. Whether the need for unhappiness causes you serious problems or only manifests itself in subtle ways, whether it affects you most of the time or only once in a while, nonetheless it is probably the reason you are not getting the pleasure out of life you were born to know."
