Nogle gange når det bliver sent hen på aftenen, så kommer disse tanker, og de fylder al den plads, som mit hoved kan klare. Tankerne kan tage livet af mig, ikke kun metaforisk men selve tankerne, får mig nogle gange til at føle, at jeg intet er værd. Ærligt så forstår jeg ikke hvorfor. Hvorfor skal jeg leve således? Hvorfor lever man og hvad er grunden til livet? Men mest af alt, hvorfor skal jeg fyldes op med disse tanker. Har haft dem i et stykke tid, det er slut nu, slut med kun at komme om aftenen, de kommer morgen, middag og aften. Før i tiden var mine tårekanaler som Sahara, men nu er de som Niagara Falls. Jeg kan bare tænke over få ting, høre musik eller bare se noget foran mig, og med ét skal jeg forsøge at knibe øjnene sammen, så tårerne ikke flyder ud.
Altså jeg forstår det virkelig ikke. Jeg er træt, træt af andre mennesker, træt af skolen, træt af alt socialt, træt af ensomheden, træt af livet. Når jeg er sammen med andre, vil jeg egentlig bare sove eller være alene. Er jeg alene, vil jeg være sammen med andre. Jeg ved ikke hvad der sker i mit hoved. Folk ved det enten ikke, eller forstår ikke hvorfor, at jeg ikke selv kan forklare det. Problemet er, at folk mener, at jeg burde vide bare et eller andet omkring mine følelser og tilstanden jeg er i. Men sandheden er, at jeg er tom, jeg er tom for ord. Jeg føler mig tom for følelser, men på samme tid flyder alle mine følelser oven i hinanden. Ja, det er vel normalt for teenagere, men for mit vedkommende har jeg snakket med med både min UU- Vejleder og gennem hende en psykolog på kommunen. Psykologen kunne ikke hjælpe mig, igen fordi jeg ikke vidste, hvad jeg skulle sige. Hvad kunne jeg sige? Jeg sad sammen med en aldrende kvinde i hvad? 50’erne måske, hun kendte mig ikke, så hvilken indflydelse ville hun dog kunne få i mit liv? Altså kan jo ikke bare sidde og glo i de opdelte i alt seks timer jeg fik sammen med hende. Så jeg prøvede da, men intet, intet kom ud af min mund som var relevant. Besøgende hos hende sluttede allerede efter fem gange uden resultat, jeg dukkede ikke op til det fjerde møde, det var fløjet lige forbi næsen på mig. Hun havde prøvet at ringe en gang, men havde ikke taget telefonen. Og sådan sluttede det egentlig. Hvad har ændret sig i mit liv de seneste år? Fik job, skiftede til gymnasiet, mødte en masse nye mennesker. Ikke det helt store skete. Forstår simpelthen ikke, hvad mit problem er. Og det går mig på. Flere gange har det været ved at gå galt. Bare tanken om det kan få mig rørt til tåre, men på samme tid ville jeg stadig ønske, at det hele bare sluttede. At kunne få sagt godnat til mine nærmeste og så ellers bare få slukket lyset.

… Jeg ved ikke helt, hvad jeg skal skrive. Jeg har det dårligt og har egentlig bare lyst til at græde, men det er svært. Kan egentlig godt mærke tårerne, som er klar til at komme ud. Men der er noget, som kæmper imod dem og det er ikke mig. Jeg er træt, så træt at jeg føler, at mine ben næsten er lammede. Men kan ikke sove. Tanker i mit hoved kører rundt. Jeg har haft det lidt skidt de sidste par dage. Men i dag blev det det værre. En veninde skrev, at hun ikke havde det godt. Og hun ved godt hvordan jeg har det en gang imellem. Men har ikke fortalt om de sidste periode. Hun føler sig tom på samme måde, som jeg gør. Ved ikke hvordan jeg kan hjælpe hende og føler at jeg udviser en svigt til hende. Men hvad skal jeg gøre. Ved ikke hvad jeg skal gøre med med mig selv. Hvad kan jeg dog gøre? Folk dør, folk har kræft og dør ufrivilligt. Hvordan kan det så være ok, at jeg somme tider føler, at døden ville være mig belejligt. Jeg er så træt af at være her. Føler mig presset, men hvorfor? Der er så meget folk ikke ved om mig. Jeg er paranoid for at gå alene… Ikke kun klokken to om natten, men på højlys dag kl. 16. Går jeg alene, føler jeg mig tit forfulgt af noget, som jeg ikke ved. Er hundrede procent på, at det er en illusion.

Det er lang tid siden, at jeg har skrevet i dette dokument. Man skulle tro, at jeg har været inde i en fantastisk periode i den seneste månedstid. Men nej. Det har ikke være roser og skyfrie himler. Der har været de sædvanlige op og nedture, men igen, hvad skal jeg dog gøre?
Altså jeg ved virkelig ikke, hvad der sker. Ved jeg ikke, hvem jeg selv er? Eller forstår jeg på ikke meningen med livet. Jeg fik et arbejde igen, hvilket jo er godt. Men kan det virkelig være sandt, at jeg allerede føler presset fra hverdagen? Min juleferien er allerede væk pga. Arbejde.
Jeg har endelig sagt, at jeg ikke vil træne videre med sporten… Burde det ikke have lettet det mindste pres? Nu er der ikke lang tid, til at jeg fylder 18 år. Så burde jeg ikke snart være over denne triste/mystiske periode? (som endda føles endeløs)
Ja, og nu skrev jeg tidligere, at jeg ikke burde have følelsen af, at ende mit liv var det rigtige valg, men gæt engang den er der stadig. Mit temperament lader ikke til at blusse ned. Men derimod, bliver jeg mere og mere sindssyg under vrede og irritation. Burde jeg finde en psykolog? Igen… Første gang hjalp ikke, jeg blev endda væk fra mit fjerde og andensidste besøg(dog ubevidst), psykologen ringede én gang den dag ved udeblivelsen, men hørte så derefter aldrig fra hende igen.
Og for at få mit liv til at ramle på ny, så skal jeg nu igennem en proces, for at finde ud af, om jeg lider af talblindhed, ja hurra, mit liv er kørende.
Lige nu (20:59) der dunker mit hoved, af en større hovedpine og jeg skal på arbejde i morgen.
Min lyst til af at være sammen med andre mennesker er væk, eller næsten. Jeg kan lige overskue 2 moduler i skolen og så vil jeg egentlig hjem og sove. Jeg er så frygtelig træt for tiden, at det svækker mine kræfter. Jeg var i sådan en periode i de sidste to måneder af folkeskolen. Og nu er den tilbage, problemet er bare, at her to år efter, hvor jeg går i 2.g, der har man ikke tid til at sove efter skole.
Jeg er også begyndt, at blive ukoncentreret både i skolen og derhjemme med skolearbejdet.
Mine to veninder var engang så bekymrede for mig, at de spurgte ind til hvordan jeg havde det. Mit svar var: gråd. Men de forstod det. Jeg vidste dem, den email jeg havde sendt til TUBA, som er en organisation som hjælper unge med problemer. Og de forstod mig, eller de prøvede.

I’m back … Med den samme følelse. Jeg har nu igennem en periode på 2-3 måneder været nede uafbrudt. Jeg har selvfølgelig haft min glade facade på i alt den tid. Men er folk begyndt at gennemskue den?
Jeg har selv en stor følelse af, at jeg ikke kan holde den mere. Føler at den brister mere for hver dag der går. Mine tætteste veninder spørger, om vi alle skal tage en snak, hvor de kan lytte. Folk fra min klasse har en idé om, at noget er galt.
Hvad skal jeg fortælle dem?
”Jeg har det ad helvedes til her for tide. Jeg ved ikke hvorfor, så i må meget gerne finde ud af det for mig, for jeg er blank. Jeg ved ikke, hvad jeg skal gøre ved det og det gør du/i garanteret heller ikke”.
Det gå jo ikke, at jeg vælger at sige det til dem.
Det værste er, at jeg meget gerne ville fortælle dem alt, hvis jeg dog bare kunne.
Nu er jeg jo fyldt 18 for et stykke tid siden.
Det gik ikke over.
Jeg ”prøvede” i går, at fortælle min veninde lidt. Men ja, det var svært. Hun tænkte at en psykolog måske ville hjælpe… Som et hvert andet menneske nok ville mene. Jeg er bare skeptisk over for den løsning. Det må være fordi, at da jeg prøvede den løsning sluttede det meget brat og jeg vidste faktisk ikke hvad, jeg skulle fortælle psykologen.

Nu til en episode som skete forrige søndag:
(Min far var taget til Bornholm lørdag).
Mig, min søster og min mor sad og spiste aftensmad og havde det rigtigt hyggeligt. (20-tiden) Pludselig blev mig og min søster virkelig irriteret på hinanden. Jeg mente, at min søster ikke ville stoppe med at snakke grimt generelt. Hun sad bare og grinte af det, når jeg bad hende snakke ordentligt.
Jeg endte med, at jeg gik ind på vores fælles værelse og låste døren indefra. Det gjorde selvfølgelig hende sur. I mellemtiden skete der en masse andet, som er irrelevant. Men det endte ud i at mit mor efter halvanden time bad mig åbne! (22:30-tiden) Det gjorde mig vildt sur, da jeg i forvejen var irriteret af situationen tidligere. Vi diskuterede derfor alle tre, hvilke endte ud i at jeg gik ud på badeværelset og sad, mens min mor stod i vores køkken og min søster i stuen. Min mor valgte at gå en tur og min søster ville gå op til min mormor. Inden min søster gik, fortalte hun, at vores mor var begyndt at græde og det nok var grunden til hun gik. Eftersom jeg ikke ville være alene, fik jeg sagt noget i retning af ”Jeg gider ikke leve mere, se nu kan du se mig dø” efterfulgt af at jeg slugte 2 panodiler lige foran hende og så blev min søster sur og ked af det over min handlinger. Da hun så sagde, at jeg skulle stoppe. Så tog jeg håndfulden af piller jeg havde og kastede dem mod stuebordet, så de fløj rundt og sagde noget i retning af: ” Fatter du ikke, at jeg ikke vil leve mere?, her der er nok til os alle sammen(henvist til pillerne).” Jeg tog de resterende piller med ud på badeværelse og låste mig inde. Jeg kunne derfra høre, at hun var på vej ud af døren og fik en sidste gang råbt ”Hvis du går, så begår jeg selvmord”. Hun sagde, at hun bare ville sove i fred hos vores mormor og derefter gik. Vores mor var stadig ikke kommet hjem og jeg sad alene og stirrede ind i spejlet, jeg havde tidligere (da min mor bad mig åbne døren) revet mig i ansigtet med begge hænder. Så mit ansigt sveg og jeg var helt grædefærdig. Jeg valgte så at sluge nogle af pillerne (4-5), men fortrød hurtigt. Jeg prøvede at stikke fingre i halsen, men intet hjalp. Da begyndte jeg at græde yderligere.
Min mor trådte senere ind ad døren og spurgte, hvem der havde kastet pillerne ind i stuen.
Jeg nænnede ikke at svare hende. Da hun så sagde, at hun skulle bruge badeværelset, gik jeg ind og lagde mig i sengen og var endnu mere grædefærdig end før.
Det endte med at min mor kom ind og sagde, at jeg simpelthen bliver nødt til at fortælle dem, når jeg har det skidt. Da sagde jeg bare til hende, at det nytter jo ikke noget, når jeg, jo har det sådan hver evig eneste dag.
Det endte med, at vi sad inde i stuen og snakkede og drak te.

Det er nu lidt over en uge siden, og jeg har det så dårligt igen. Jeg ved bare hundrede procent, at jeg begynder at græde, hvis jeg skal stå over for hende og sige hvordan jeg har det… Eller bare fortælle nogen det.

Red Barn Short Story

...The doors of the barren red barn awaited to be opened and closed as they once were. Inside it smelt of manure and the perspiration of horses, cows and playful children. In the empty space are cracked concrete floors that are cold and covered with little dust bunnies crawling around in the cool fall breeze. It has the feeling of peace in the world, like nothing bad could ever happen again. It was like the taste and feeling you get when you eat a bowl of warm soup on a crisp winter evening. It looks worn out and tired from the years of hard work, but still in some way alive and happy. When I walk inside it’s like nothing someone have ever seen before. In the corner stood an old rusty tin bowl, once used for dog food, has little brown specks...

Personal Responsibility Essay

Naps Aren't Just for Little Kids

...the campus is, but it’s hard to take in the beauty when there are so many sleeping students occupying space all over campus. It’s a safe bet that most of the students you see sleeping on campus probably live far away. So why don’t we just have a designated sleeping area on campus? It would be really be easy to establish a sleeping area on campus. Someone already started by placing a bed in one of the women’s restrooms in the bookstore. There are countless unoccupied rooms all over campus. There is just no way that all the classrooms are used at all times. Since the rooms are empty anyway, they can be easily transformed into makeshift bedrooms with a few beds in each of the rooms. It’s as simple as that. Now the empty classrooms won’t go to waste and they would be put to good use. The sleeping area would be conveniently located on campus near most of the classes. With a designated sleeping area, the tired students can have a safe and quiet environment to sleep in. The students would be indoors instead of being outside, taking away from the beauty of the campus. There would be no worries about possibly getting stepped on in the hallways of the buildings or getting bitten by the pesky bugs in the grass. Just a quiet room full of sleep deprived students who...

The Kangaroo

...narrator and not an omniscient narrator is because we only follow one characters development through the story. You can see that in this quote: - Blood poured from its nostrils. The boy was fascinated. It shows that we know how the boy feels about the kangaroo dying. The boy (who is the main character in the story) is developing pretty fast and a lot. He starts out with being a bit scared, and he does not want to kill the kangaroo. But the man who is hunting with him is trying to get him to shoot the kangaroo, and keeps telling him to do this. He is almost scaring him, saying that this is his only chance to do it. Even though the boy is scared, he still proceeds to shoot the kangaroo, but afterwards he feels empty. That is written in this quote: - He was empty as if his hears and his guts had been sucked out of the barrel of his gun. He starts to shoot more kangaroos because he wants to feel like a man, and impress the hunter that is teaching him how to hunt. The hunter is telling the boy to walk in front of him. That is because he feels like he should protect the boy, so that is a clear sign that the hunter is the boy’s father (or at least a father figure). They boy gets more confident as the story go on, as when he starts to kill the kangaroos without telling the hunter about it....

Stradlater uses this reference shortly after coming back from his date with Jane and is surprised by how empty the dorm rooms are.

...extracurricular activities as a primary factor to be accepted in a particular university. If a student began engaging in an activity at an early age, it will help them get to college. With their learned responsibility, it will be easier for them to be focused and pursue what they want with universities as their stepping stone. However, balancing schoolwork with extracurricular activities can be stressful for some students, especially when an abundance of activities takes up valuable time they need to study or complete homework.

"They're looking for it; they're drawing the curtain," one might say, and so read on a page or two. "Now they've found it,' one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm. "What did I come in here for? What did I want to find?" My hands were empty. "Perhaps its upstairs then?" The apples were in the loft. And so down again, the garden still as ever, only the book had slipped into the grass. But they had found it in the drawing room. Not that one could ever see them. The windowpanes reflected apples, reflected roses; all the leaves were green in the glass. If they moved in the drawing room, the apple only turned its yellow side. Yet, the moment after, if the door was opened, spread about the floor, hung upon the walls, pendant from the ceiling--what? My hands were empty. The shadow of a thrush crossed the carpet; from the deepest wells of silence the wood pigeon drew its bubble of sound. "Safe, safe, safe" the pulse of the house beat softly. "The treasure buried; the room . . ." the pulse stopped short. Oh, was that the buried treasure? A moment later the light had faded. Out in the garden then? But the...

Summary Of Montag's Fahrenheit 451

...away contact with nature from society. “‘Bet I know something else you don’t. There’s dew on the grass in the morning.’ He suddenly couldn’t remember if he had known this or not, and it made him quite irritable.” (Bradbury 7). Montag’s society is devoid of time and leisure to think, everything instantly thrown at you in a giant mass of information, nothing lasting in depth or for more than a short episode. “‘But with all my knowledge and skepticism, I have never been able to argue with a one-hundred-piece-symphony orchestra, full color, three dimensions, and being in and part of those incredible parlors.’” (Bradbury 80). The effect of lacking time to think is no one is able to reflect on memories, others, or especially themselves and how empty they are like the sieve and the sand. Since everyone is given instant gratification and so much meaningless information, sound, and images are constantly pumped into...

Empty

...Empty Fake happiness is still the worst sadness. It's so sad to think about how many beautiful people are living every day hating themselves. First, it starts off on insecurities, of not being good enough for a certain someone, for your family, for the society. Then, the next thing you know is you are depressed. Depression doesn't exempt anyone, whether you are a poor person that has nothing, or you are rich that could get everything in just a snap of your fingers. Depression is like drowning but not being able to save yourself, so you just kind of gave up and let the deep, dark ocean take you. It feels like you're too sad to cry and too tired to sleep, and you just feel nothing. You have this empty feeling in your chest, and no matter what you do, you can't fill it out. Sometimes, the emptiness you feel is just too much and there's only so much a person could take, and then they just give up. Now, hurting yourself thinking you deserve it is such a hard thing to stop. It's like a drug, it takes you away from reality, and the next thing you know, you're in too deep, and it's too late to go back. So before this unhealthy habit starts, we need to prevent it from happening to us, to our loved ones. People are like pieces of paper. Once you tear them apart, you can't fix them. No matter what you do or say they will never be how they once are. Depressed people lack love from the people around them, so they just make their own world where they could be happy, blocking the people who...

When to Drnk Water

...same is true of the human body. Without water to “wake up and turn on” the body each day, you may be running on empty, especially if you skip breakfast altogether. Have a glass of cool water right after you wake up in the morning to tell your body it’s time to get started. Like a gently flowing stream that pushes along debris and rocks, your circulatory system needs fluid to get rid of stubborn free radicals and residue from burned calories that were used during the night’s metabolism. Refresh your system with a drink of water. 2. Drink water before each meal. Drinking water before a meal helps you feel fuller, so you may be less likely to attack your meal like a starving person. Water helps prepare the stomach for the food that will follow, waking up taste buds on the tongue and moisturizing the stomach lining so brittle or acidic foods won’t be uncomfortable. Having a glass of water clears your mouth of dryness or leftover tastes from earlier dining, drinking, or smoking in anticipation of the food that is coming. 3. Drink water with a snack.  Between meals, if you feel hungry, try some fresh drinking water first to see if you are dehydrated. Sometimes people think they are hungry when they really are just thirsty. If you shop at the grocery store or supermarket while dehydrated, chances are you are going to spend more to subconsciously fill that empty urge. Drinking water before a snack, or with one, will help you feel full faster and perhaps...
