like not that i was drinking all day and not going to school etc but there was that whole internal struggle of like, "if i'm gonna have to forgo everything i enjoy in order to survive in this world and be accepted by society, why survive at all"
it's nice to see people in the comments not being able to relate to it bc that's a sign that they either have it better (or they're too young to know how it feels like, in that case rip ) but like imma be fr i think the author could write a pretty good psychological horror manga if they pursued that kinda angle more than a BL one
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I cried while reading this story. I'm 18 and I'm going through this shit. Parents telling you to find a job immediately after school while I dont even know what I wanna be..I'm struggling hard right now..
I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT ALONE... HOPE YOU FIND YOUR PATH EVENTUALLY
ok thanks mangago for cutting pretty much my entire reply ANYWAY
if it helps at all: i want to tell you that my situation got better for me only at the beginning of this year, when i was 26. for so many years i didn't know what i was doing with my life, i struggled so much because i didn't want to give up and pursue something i didn't give a fuck about like how everyone told me i should do. only at the beginning of 2024 did i finally figure out what i wanted to do, it was so painfully obvious after i realized it that i felt like a dumb idiot for not realizing it sooner. but i'm doing much better now. only now i have begun to understand that maybe all those experiences contributed to my self growth, i think all my struggles made me into the strong, independent, insightful and healthily selfish person i am today. i love that i refused to give up and instead tried my hardest to find something for me in this world
all this to say that yeah it does get better, like everyone says it does, but at the same time i know how it feels to sit there and think "but what if it doesn't get better for ME", it's super tough and i just want to tell you to be forgiving to yourself. nobody else matters, the world ends with you, be patient with yourself and eventually you will figure things out
I was about to reply to your short message and then when I opened "reply" it showed me your whole message xD
Anyway, thank you:) And I hope you stay on your path! I also hope i will someday find what i want in life. Still having existential crises and am full with anxieties so let's see how it will work out for me.. ╥﹏╥
not mangago trying to silence me i'm cheering for you fam!!! the existential crises will never end but at least the subject matter will change lmaoooo
Good to know
Oh and be safe out there, we will never know what mangago is planning to do with you after silencing you like that. Do you know something you shouldn't?
ngl like aside from the assault and all, mirai's internal struggle kinda hit me???? i battled a very similar existential crisis from ages 20 to 25 or smth so like... i felt chapter 3 in my bones holy shit. it made me wonder if the author had gone through something similar as well, because it was just THAT accurate
