Hello! My name is Janus! I am currently in a bad situation in life and hope to be able to get some help. I have depression, social anxiety and also identity crisis. Although I am a very pessimistic person so it may be difficult to talk to me. But I really hope to make some friends if possible šŸ’•.Ā

...See more Sadness Sorrow tears fall on my pillow of solitude, Aching heart cries to the moonlit sky, Darkness envelops, a shell of useless aptitude, Numbness grips the soul, drowning in my longing cry, Echoes of past sorrows linger in the depths of my being, Silent cries echo, unheard in the void in fleeing, Seeking solace in the never ending sightseeing. - JanusPišŸ„°šŸ’• Hello! Itā€™s been a while since I posted. I had fun writing this poem. See if you can find out why the poem is called sadness.Ā (hint: the format of the poemšŸ„°) Anyways, hope you have a lovely life!šŸ’•

Rant

...See more TW. Sorry if I offend anyone with this rant. Iā€™m now back to my home country. And letā€™s just say, my home does not feel like home at all. I feel like a stranger in this house. I am now even sleeping on the floor because thereā€™s no room for me. Thereā€™s always the sound of arguing in this house. My father is a total narcissist and my other family members are as well. So now I talk to them like how I would to strangersā€¦ fake smiles and just agree to everything. I donā€™t feel I belong anywhere, not even on 7 cups. My problems are just mundane problems compared to others. I really wish I could exchange my life for them to have better ones. It pains me that there are others suffering so much more but is still trying their best to live on whilst I am whining about my life. I donā€™t know what to do. Iā€™ve tried everything to try to get better but nothing helps. And now Iā€™ve given up. Iā€™ve decided to live this life the way it is. Just a while ago, my siblings were mocking about how someone they knew was trying to end it. They say he has no worries and has everything he needs in life but still complaining. They came to the conclusion that that person was just attention seeking. Iā€™ve been hiding my depression from everyone around me for 7 years now. This just made me want to hide it longer. Not like I was going to tell anyone anytime soon. Funny enough, I have scars from cuts on my forearm but I donā€™t even care about hiding it. Itā€™s because I know no one cares. Even if they knew, Iā€™ll just be shrugged off and mocked. Sorry again for the rant.

...See more TW - SH Blessed Am I blessed as they say? Does the blessed bleed from self cuts? Do they fake smiles, a facade on display? In constant pain, wishing their heart shuts? Wishing to be gone, a silent relay, So tell me, am I blessed with these parts? - JanusPišŸ„°šŸ’• ā€Blessedā€ or ā€œgiftedā€ arenā€™t positive complimentsā€¦ it discredits all the hard work someone has doneā€¦ Have a great day!šŸ’•

...See more The Moon Why does she seem reachable, but yet so far. Why does she bring solace, but also scars. Why does she look gloomy, but yet beautiful. Why does she ignore me, for am I spiteful. And yet, she appears when I feel most dreadful. -JanusPišŸ„°šŸ’• Have you ever get conflicted on whether someone likes or hates you? This poem is kind of comparing that to the moon. Everything seems to contradict on whether that person enjoys my company or hates me. Have a nice day! šŸ’•
Betrayalā€™s Echoes

...See more Betrayalā€™s Echoes In mirrorā€™a gaze, he condemns the vile, The only light dimmed by his deceitful self. Betrayed the hope, an angelā€™s scorn, Perhaps heā€™s the devil, in darkness born. Heā€™ll never forgive the sins he canā€™t dispel, In remorseful echoes, his heart shall dwell. - JanusPišŸ„°šŸ’• I hope you all are able to forgive yourself for any sins youā€™ve done before. It has been done and all we can do is mend the aftermath and forgive ourselves. šŸ’•
#2 Philosophy

...See more #2: What does it mean to live a good life? What factors contribute to a fulfilling and meaningful existence? I think living a good life involves with finding happiness, meaning and contentment. However, I wrote a poem once about the paradox of trying to find contentment. I think all of our final goals should be to settle down and be fulfilled and content with what we have and not try to wish or pursue for more. However, when we get contentment, we lose the meaning to life. I guess it is debatable what is the meaning of life. To me, I think that our lives has meaning because we are always pursuing after a bigger goal or a passion. But think about it... What happens when we actually achieved our goal? Do we find another goal to pursue after? In my poem, I wrote that, the unending loop of chasing goals but contentment remains forever elusive. But then when we try to break out of the loop, the once raging fire to live, dies down instead. Is there a way for both contentment and ambition to coexist? As always, if you disagree with anything, please do share! Onto the next part! I want to share something about Chinese philosophy. Yin and Yang are fundamental concepts that represent the dualistic nature of existence. The main idea is "dynamic balance". Yin is associated with passivity, darkness and the moon. Whilst, Yang is associated with activity, light and the sun. We can connect these with coexistence of contentment and ambition. Yin representing contentment and Yang representing ambition. This is just theoretically speaking and not practically done by me so... Anyways, the meaning of dynamic balance is that the two sides are not static and rather in a cyclical motion, like the sun and moon! So here's the idea, we as humans can have a cycle of setting and achieving goals, finding contentment, reassessing oneself and setting new aspirations. Keep our lives in motion so that both contentment and ambition can coexist! Anyways, sorry for rambling for so long. Do tell me what you think about the theory though and what does it mean to live a good life for you? Thanks! <3
