>>26471044i am also 26 and my parents aren't dead so you got me, but i'm in debt, a failure, never took any of my chances out of this shithole, and my friends are all further away each day. But every day I get better at art, every day I write a little bit more, every I day I lift a little bit harder. It's not too late for shitters like us, it's never too late to start honing yourself. All of those things, all that weighjt you're carrying is over stupid shit outside of you. It never stops hurting, it never goes away, but the only thing we can truly own and improve is the body we've been given. you can only judge yourself for what you yourself can do. It doesn't even matter if you like, it pick something and start doing it. Tell the world that only you know your own measure, because that's the truth. You've got nothing left to lose, so just fight. Fight whatever feeling is holding you down. You'll feel better, even if nothing actually improves, I swear.
