Back when I was in my early 20s, I knew three women who had babies before the age of 18. The babies were cute, but a ton of work! One teen, who had done a lot to help her mother with twin boys, still found one baby a ton of work.
These days, itās good to get tested before each new relationship, but I donāt know how many people even bother. A few years ago, I read somewhere that 1 out of every 4 people (between the ages of 15 and 60) has herpes. 
Thatās a permanent condition, I think. So I donāt know why they donāt do testing. Guess itās not romantic.
I think I stayed away from drugs, and alcohol, because I knew deep down that I could get addicted. I loved eating sugary things and am struggling to undo the 2 diabetes now. I heard it can be reversed if Iām strict enough. Now that I canāt get anymore Ozempic, Iām forced to make healthier decisions.
Thatās very kind of you.

People in my country say heās skizoed as a demeaning slang for people with mental illness.
I used to want to study medicine because I wanted to help people. But Iāve lost all empathy for them. Mainly for bullying me and talking trash behind my back. For the stigma!
Fu-ck them! Stupid fu-cks!
I couldāve been an asset to people. Now I have to be all ego and think about myself.

Yeah, sometimes it seems better just to worry about ourselves. At one point, I wanted to be a teacher, even though, as a child, I thought this a super hard job. These days, I have the attitude that people are so unpleasant theyāre just not worth my time in any way.
The odd thing is, I actually donāt want to believe this. I want to regain my faith in humanity. Sometimes, Iāll collect articles that are uplifting, like the photo of a man walking through a flooded area in India, with a basket of kittens on his head. Momma cat is swimming behind him, following him to whereever heās going.
I wish there were more good things happening.

This is how I feel. People are evil. There are some good people out there but they are hard to find.
