Although I think any 'control' is an illusion thanks to how our society operates. It does not allow for that level of freedom, although it pretends that it does. My problem is that I don't see any reason to do any of that. The things I wanted to do in life brought me disaster, and when I tried to change to something else, that just started the whole failure thing again. I am just not meant to be here any more. I have nothing anyone wants except a wage slave and I am no longer able to be that with any consistency. Why keep failing and making things worse, ya know?
