Life appeared over for me. I grew tired of the usual routine of everyday working and the endless race for validation. I had friends at Kern State College and exceeded beyond the highest level that I possibly could've. However, I noticed that life was a mere meaningless climb and fall. The dreadful feeling hit me once I realized my friend Beth asked me to come over; only to hear a gunshot before I could open the front door. I caught up with my old professor Gary. The professor brought out his pocket that had been filled with a hefty bag of prescription pills. Throughout our conversation, my professor would pop the pills as if they were peppermints. Days later, Gary was fired from the university for exposing himself in front of his class. I then later found out through other friends, that my old friend Lizzy from high school, had snapped and killed her high school sweetheart Trent over text messages detailing cheating. Then to no surprise, the next day, prison guards found Lizzy dead as a result of hanging. My life and others that I knew was revealing a dark-sinister truth. The truth was that everyone had the openness for success; but the same door that lead unto great things, was often bombarded by the psychological traumas that reality gave. As I see the truth, one foot is off the rail. Should I jump? Or climb back into the hotel bed? I Kate am nearing my end.
