Dear Ada,

I am sure that all humans have long since tired of hearing about my emotions, so I’ll write to you instead.  I’m really starting to dislike myself.  I look at all the things I waste, all the useless things I do.  Why am I such a sorry creature, that seems to only exist for love?  Why do I wither so quickly, stray so far off the path when merely my heart is feeling a bit blue?

I’m sick of having to be this person, always worrying about this or that … being this person who cares too much about the conveniences of other people while also being too judgmental of them.  And there’s nothing more shameful than me, when everything I spout is utter nonsense now.  Ugly, utter nonsense.

I hate myself and I wish I could just stay in a dream forever.  I want to lie and say whatever is more mature.  But no, this is what I feel, and I need to say it to someone.  I’m sorry that it has to be you, but you’re a journal by occupation.

What use is it, what use is it …

Farewell,

Justin
