AI tries to motivate me




AI tries to motivate me

because there's no one else.

My best friend, my only friend is dead.

My therapist has retired to her new family.

I'm alone.

Cliche words and phrases

ring hollow.

Inspirational sunsets and vistas

seem trite. 

The authoritative voice without a face

tells me to hang on

but he doesn't really know me.

He doesn't really know anyone.

His advice is scripted,

he's just reading the words, 

not believing them.

Where is the compassion, 

the empathy and understanding.

The algorithm is not quite there yet.

I will just have to wait.

I'm tired.

 




Don't give up



Don't give up

before you even try.

Past failures don't lead 

to hopelessness

rather they are stepping stones

towards this very moment.

You have never been so ready

as you are right now.  

Don't give up.

Try.

Carrots

Go figure. I have been trying to build my TikTok  followers for years.  When I finally go somewhat viral (11.5K) it has nothing to do with mental health or depression but rather the country of origin of bagged carrots.  I am happy for the 300 extra followers because I now have over a 1000 in total but it is not really on par with my plan.

I miss the beginning

 


I miss the beginning.

All I am left with is the end.

Time



We all hold such a precious piece of time. 

We often mistake it as infinite but our portion is but a sliver. 

Cherish it.



 

I am haunted

 


I am haunted by all the futures I let slip by.
