I Want Out
His name is Arie, he’s a young man with a big, and somehow scary dream. What’s that dream you might ask? Well, it’s to move to another country. But why? you might add, well, that’s because Arie doesn’t like his country –it’s a third-world country with third-world people. Arie is, or should I say, was a hopeful person. But, just like a glass of wine, his hope runs out as well. Arie totally gets that some days are just not good days, but he has started to see patterns of bad days. Those bad days include the following: Self-hatred, hopelessness and just wishing that he wasn’t him –wishing that he had been born rich, in a successful country. He is studying Computer Science, hoping that his future will be bright.
I’m Arie, and to be honest I just want to get out of here. I have no one to talk to about what I’m feeling right now, I feel isolated even though there are people around me. I don’t want to stay in this state of place, and state of mind. I know my problem is not as bad as other people’s, but, it somehow affects my mental health. I thought I was mentally strong, but holy fucking flying shit. I just want to get out of here, I would lick the street in New York City just to be able to go there. Thanks for reading my thoughts, I hope you get better, too.
