[@harrisonwhite107]

I was born blind in my left eye. For about 3 years everything was just a blurry mess of colors and I was basically in purgatory. Always going on long car rides to the eye doctor, stuck in offices for hours at a time, seeing nothing but a drab mess of gray, white, and black. Music was one of the only things that comforted me, and the songs my mom played in the car were always playing over in my head to keep me calm. However, there are still some melodies that I swear were practically the soundtrack of my life, that have no name, no identity, nothing. The outro to this EP is one of them. I have no idea where I could’ve heard it, but I heard it from the ages 1-3. The outro always hits me the hardest.

[@a.quick.Google.search]

Your a real soldier bro

[@thaborasunyane8884]

The outro feels like things are gonna get better

[@Healthydistrust]

Woah, I went through an insanely similar journey. I’m blind in my left eye, have been since I was about 6/7 old and I’m about 30 now. All I see are blurry blotches and I have utterly no depth perception. I was born with cataracts in both eyes. I was having my first operation (on my left eye first) and 9/11 happened while I was being operated on. That obviously left me with serious complications for the rest of my life considering the staff were in a sudden panic while I was under. This was in a major city and nobody knew wtf was going to happen, if the same thing was going to happen in every major city. From that day on until I was 18 years old and could make my own medical decisions, I endured countless “corrective” surgeries against my will and understanding. I will never forget the many long long drives to and from the hospital, at times while a few very painful emergency side effects post operation were happening and my mom would be speeding us an hour away to the hospital. Being forced under anesthesia against my will as a little kid. Multiple nurses holding me down while the surgeon force fed me the gas mask while I tried my hardest to kick and scream begging them to stop. Only to wake up on tons of pain killers and nauseas from anesthesia. At six years old this started, I have endured more corrective surgeries on my left eye than I can even count. Until I was a little older they all began and ended like that, forced, and scared,feeling no control over my own fait with little understanding of what was happening to me. Even though I had family there with me to comfort me as best they could I always felt deeply like nobody truly saw what I was experiencing or understood what I was feeling. Just chalked up to being a scared kid, which I guess is all it ultimately was considering the operations were deemed necessary. Only I still have extremely limited vision in my left eye if you can even call it vision. I have never come across anyone who has come close to understanding.

[@Healthydistrust]

This all lead me to dealing with severe opiate and amphetamine addiction for almost ten years more recently in life, and in one way or another I was always brought back to this track during my most dark lonely and disturbing moments in addictions and suicidal ideations. You are not alone.

mental illness is so hard to deal with, it’s not like you get one and go to a doctor and it gets treated in hours. it’s much harder then that, and the fact that you can get through that means you are very brave and strong, keep fighting because it will be worth it in the end.

[@The-Information-age]

I was told a fire arm was one of the easiest ways to go out, took that advice and tried to put it in use. Didn't have the balls or will to pull the trigger, didn't have enough strength, or maybe I was to strong. I couldn't do it and it's almost like life had flashed before my eyes, baby-toddler-kid-teenager- it's like an entire rush of knowledge and realization of what everything is and being known to everything that happens. It's like that one bad experience even being so eery and horrible it still doesn't match up to alot of things thT happened before, making it sort of meaningless yet has made alot more things in my life alot more meaningful, in the same regard taking some of that meaning away. It was an eye opener for sure but when it comes to mind that experience was so little in comparison and I think that's because since I've experienced it, it became more noticeable. Because I've directly faced it, that's what gave it meaning to me. But this has blown out of proportions and has been mixed up, people I think I know could die left and right and it had/has no effect on me emotionally and is seen as something that happens every other day, people think that it's wrong to not care but I can't help but not because it doesn't matter, it does happen everyday, my situation might have made me a different person but it doesn't matter. Technicly I don't matter, in your sense at least if who ever passes by sees this comment. This instance of reading will be forgotten an hour-day-week later and will be regarded as meaningless to reader. I guess maybe that's why I'm typing this here, no one knows me and I can let a suicide story and perception of life off my chest, I'm not a fan of venting but maybe just this once I can leave it somewhere, I don't know what would help, haven't cried in years not saying im not able to but emotionally and even to the point of hurting myself doesn't seem to work, working out is okay, drawing and learning guitar helps, I hope that maybe, if there is a future I can find "solace".

[@bound2agun57]

I’m 15. I don’t have an abusive family, I don’t do drugs. I never suffered like others hear. But I’m just always down. Feeling like I’m always left out. Extremely insecure. I just feel like I haven’t found myself. I try to find comfort in love, but other than my mom and my sister and father and grandmother, I don’t think I’ve been truely loved. That sometimes hurts me ngl. Idk what’s wrong with me, I have friends but I feel left out. I have a good family but I feel lonely. There’s just no pleasing me, no comforting me. The only way I do find comfort is in music. And I’ve found it very hard as an Arab to relate to lyrical artists or artists with strong messages. But with earl, it’s different. It all sinks in. He’s one of the few rappers in his lane that I can enjoy. I feel like I belong to something when I go through this comment section. One thing that does bother me is my grandma dying this year. I remember the look in her eyes when she saw me. That was the last time she was conscience in the hospital. So this just hits right home. It’s 4:am, and I’m alone, in my room, righting this meaningless comment, trying to find solace.

Learning to love yourself is number one man, never forget it. Much love my man.

[@wtizgn2516]

hey man, I just wanted to say I hope you are doing okay. And to say that this society can really isolate you for being different, and different doesn't mean standing out, but just feeling like you don't fit sometimes. But that doesn't matter - just keep loving you for you, and one day that difference will be some thing to treasure. Sorry to hear about your loss. Love yourself, and try not to let this world make you too bitter, even though sometimes it wants to do just that. There is genuine good out there, and in you, and it's worth nurturing and protecting.

It’s kinda crazy how I used to listen to this song all the time when I was like 15-16 depressed staying in the house all the time. I resonated with the song and I still do. It’s just this time I’m coming to terms that maybe it’s not so bad being alone. Of course too much of anything is a bad thing but this thing is best in moderation and when needed. I realized that because I was alone I clung to people that would allow it, and those people would say one thing and do another, making them unhealthy to be around but since I was afraid of being alone, I stayed. Not realizing that the energy transfer was not in my favor either. These days I don’t really have too much to say, I don’t really text nobody, and I’m not reaching out to anybody, partly due to the fact that a lot of people in my life only contact me when they need something. I feel like my heart and my mind are at war right now because I believe in staying loyal no matter what, but damn a line has to be drawn somewhere. Certain people would take everything from you if you allowed it. Part of me doesn’t want issues and another part of me wants to think of myself. The war between my heart and my brain.

My mum passed a couple months ago and I've been the lowest I've ever been I can't talk to my dad because he doesn't listen and my friends are shitty people or robots with no feelings. I've spoken to my college counselor but talking to someone who's paid to talk to you and probably has to remend themselves of your name before you walk in ain't the same as someone in my life. The shit I put up with before was fine but now the shit I get from my friends and family makes me fantasise about taking my own life but I know I won't. I've been to my mum's funeral and even if I don't respect my family I'm not putting them through that again if I can choose not to. Ether way, it's somewhat comforting in a strange way to think about it and know that there would be people at my funeral who do care about me, I'd just have to die for them to show it. I've not being going outside much when I normally would be and I just don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore. I've lost track of time passing and so I don't register the deadlines I have for assignments, obviously my teachers won't understand, it just looks like I'm being lazy. The friends I've had for 5 years are pissing me off as well. They just don't care about the shit I'm going through and won't stop finding anything to make fun out of me for even when I put my heart into a message expressing the fact it was hurting me. Since the funeral I've developed a habit of punching my leg everytime I get upset or angry and I'm alone, I do it subconsciously but I don't regrett it after. If anyone's read this just know, I know right now, that I'll make it out of this hole, and no matter how deep your hole is, no matter how scary and challenging it looks to climb, we can both do it, one step at a time.

Instead, I just layed in bed for almost the entire day every day doing nothing. I was never sad though, everything just felt meaningless in an emotionally absent way. I started seeing a therapist though and yes, these feelings are very much a result of depression. As the other replier said, depression doesn’t necessarily have to be emotional sadness.
