I'm honestly tired of life. I've had enough. Nothing ever changes, it's just the same thing day after day. What's the point of it all? I mean, why are we here anyways?  Apparently there isn't much time left until the earth implodes of whatever, and I really don't care. I know that sounds extremely suicidal and all, but I just don't. I'm almost glad. Gah. I sound so depressing and emo...and I hate emos. I don't know, I've just been really depressed lately and I need to write about it. I can't put it on my blog or all my depressingly happy friends will freak out and decide I need help. I have no intention of killing myself! Sure, I have issues, but who doesn't? I can take care of them on my own. I don't need anyone fussing over me and worrying and trying to FIX me! If you're reading this, you know who you are and you are seriously one to talk. I'm sorry. We've been over this already and I should drop it. Forget it. I have work to do.

most 15 year olds are angsty and depressed
like you.
 
most 15 year olds are irritated and see themselves as more independant than they are in reality
like you.
 
most 15 year olds think they are so cynical and jaded when in reality they haven't hardly seen enough to make them such
like you.
 
i'm not calling you immature but i am saying that this too shall pass and from my perspective i will tell you that this angsty and depressed worldview is not unique to you. i went through the exact same thing when i was your age and i managed to have a more peaceful and even perception of the universe because of it.
my advice? get out, have fun, make friends, give up your insecurities, let go
people will like you more, and when people like you more you like yourself more.
if you don't allow yourself to wallow in your fears, anxiety, self-loathing, et cetera, you will be a much much happier girl and you will see your life taking an upward turn.
it may sound cheesy, but it really is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. i've been hurt many times by many different people, but i've also had some good relationships and without the bad ones, how would i know what a good one was?
even though you are a gloomy nihilist now, allow yourself to get past it and find a more life-affirming philosophy. yes, there is not much time before our earth is destroyed, but why not enjoy the time we have?
live, love, and be happy, for tommorrow we die, and who knows what comes after death?
 
in conclusion, you do sound genuinely depressed and i think you need help. even if your parents can't afford a therapist you need someone who you can talk to about all of this. there is nothing wrong with depression, per se, it is a mental illness, not a subculture, and like any illness it can be 'cured'. not with pills and medicine, but with talking and gentleness. refusing to get help is like refusing to go t the doctor when you are vomiting blood and unable to move because of pain.
 
peace, love, and best of luck to you
