Life is Hard

A teenager writing his last entry in his journal.

Life is hard. That’s the harsh reality of this world. And yet, we enjoy and value life more than anything. As the void in my soul sucks all the happiness from my life, I give up. I have tried countless times to make my life better. But with all this heartbreak, stress and pressure eating away at me, it's time to end this. My friends might miss me. My family won’t, that’s for sure. And yet, I will miss them. They have given me a roof over my head. A shelter. A safe space. What have I done in return? Nothing. I am a failure. I am solely to blame for my miserable situation. For my laziness, for my half-committed attempts at relationships and laughable academic progress. Life wasn't always this hard, was it? I miss the days when life was all about enjoying refreshing ice-creams amidst the blazing heat of summer and playing with the other children all day long. Where did it all go wrong? I guess we will never find out. The only regret I have is not living my life to the fullest. If there was a full life to live. Goodbye, world. I will miss you.

everything seems so avoidable. It couldve been better if the writer had mentioned how and why the character feels this way. However, I would say it is pretty good for a debut. Looking forward for more !
