    That’s very much easier said than done. Aa life is often not so easy to find a better version of but more often a different version.

    The advice of stay alive because at least you keep experiencing new things is good advice. Trying for better is a nice idea but a message of do what it takes to make your life “better” is… Fantasy in a way that feels off to me.

    I could tell the story of the night I tried to drown myself and all that changed since then but it wouldn’t be better persay. Just changed. The story would sound like meandering prose and little purpose.

    I don’t understand the myth of better. It causes misery more in those that do not find it.
