Epiphany
Inhale. Exhale. I feel the poison swirl around my head, it seems majestic yet frantic, as if trying to make the most of it's short life in the atmosphere. Soon I will have to decide on what i want to be when i grow up. That sounds silly, I'm only eighteen, but I feel grown up anyway - so it's weird to hear myself say "when i grow up.". I never really thought about it, to be honest. As an adolescent I just figured I would become an assassin and take out marks for about $20,000 a head. Purchase a suppressed .50 calibre sniper rifle and a pair of nine-millimeter berettas from some faceless people, rid myself of all human compassion, next thing you know, I'm set. My coiled hands around this firearm are lethal. One day I would eventually get setup by a false contract, gunned down by some tactical unit, and the only thing that would matter is the copy of "Catcher in the Rye" clutched within my bloody hands. Do you ever desire to become legendary? How would you go about achieving such a thing? If you commited suicide, would you leave a note? If so, what would it consist of? Think deeply about that one. My heart is racing, but my mind is dull. An unstoppable force trapped within an incapable form. I am a human caterpillar, waiting in my cocoon, anxious to reveal my new fantastic form, but a spider has wrapped a web around my shell. I can't break the shell. The shell is breaking me. I need to escape this darkness that I have become so familiar with.

Legendary? YES.
How? I don't know. I often think I'd like to take over the world. That exact phrase goes though my head whenever I feel a little lost."I'd like to take over the world". But even if that was remotely realistic,how would I go about it and to what end?
Maybe I'd become a prophet. I'd travel the world spreading my own concealed belief system. Then in the future, which wouldn't take very long because our civilization's time moves faster now then it did in the past, my "wisdom" would become religion.
Still any thing's better then the idea of being a drone. Legendary in doing what I enjoy doing would be nice but I wonder now if that was unrealistic as well. Just doing what you like to do should be enough, shouldn't it. Legendary in the minds of just a few people should be enough as well,or even just one person. Being perceived as someone hopeless or not respected feels like shit. But when you think some people look up to you or respect you that just feels good.
As an extra comment, I think almost every body wants to be "legendary" in some way. Most people want this in a good way though. You think they are selfless but really they just want to feel important. I want to be the hero.

Suicide and notes? Suicide scares me. I think about it a lot though. I always say that maybe if I just wait a little longer something will happen that will be worth the wait. So far being an observer is getting uninteresting. If I'm still just an observer, with nothing to really live for, by the time I am 30, I think I might have to do it.
I can't just live anymore. Sounds stupid doesn't it. By I am a coward. A coward in how I live my life and a coward in the idea of taking it. Not being alive what does that really mean? I won't go into my belief system on that, mostly it involves redistribution of energy, but what does it really mean? I can't imagine not being me anymore.
I should leave a note. Another reason I can't kill myself is because it would hurt people. It would hurt my mother. It would hurt her a lot. But she's looking sick now, I only recently noticed this, and old too. My sister but not as much. Some other people might feel bad but really they would move on. I would become the guy who killed himself, not legendary just gossip to tell. I know of people who have tried to kill themselves. Tried being the operative word here. It's sad because they all have more going for them then I do. Trying to kill yourself is a cry for attention. I would just do it. I already know the best way. It's not messy and not too many people would have to be involved. But no I would not leave a note. That would be too hard.

PS you are very good with words. I think you should avoid the "poisons" though.

Judging by your writing patterns and multiple displayments of miniscule hints to your identity, I would have to say you did a pretty bad job at being anonymous, Misha. Nonetheless, I appreciate the compliment and general response you gave to what I have written. Perhaps you can conqure your cowardly tendencies that you have mentioned by not showing doubt in yourself. The very fact that you had to make your identity a mystery in a simple LiveJournal response shows a lot about your lack of self-assurance. Be who you are with pride.

You shouldn't be hard on Misha.

If he became a prophet I would worship him, but some might think he has too big a head and burn him for thinking that way.

Maybe he just didn't want to mention his true identity because telling people about his thoughts on suicide might change how they interact with him.
Why have people look down on you, or pity you, or worry about you. But don't worry Misha, I personally couldn' worry about you, pity you, or look down on you more than I do right now so it's all OK.

By the way I wrote the anonymous post. I decided anonymously would be best for the reasons I already mentioned and also because in the past few weeks I've been telling people too much about myself and they always seem to treat me differently afterwards.

I was just joking with my comments about Misha. (Why did you think it was Misha?).

Oh well now I just feel silly. I thought you were older than thirty so I eliminated you from the list of possible suspects. Sorry Misha, lol.
