We’re better off gone.

I try my best to make eco-friendly choices in my everyday life. I use bamboo brush, make my own toothpaste and deodorant, carry cloth bags and water bottle and avoid using plastic. I have minimised my meat and dairy consumption. I try using the public transport whenever I can.
But life has been really difficult after I’ve chosen this path. Every cruelty-free, vegan, eco-friendly product is much more expensive and also more difficult to find. Despite this struggle, looking at those around you not give a damn about the environment creates a gut-wrenching pain.
Well, I’ll not rant. I don’t want to. We all make our own choices and each one of us have our own reasons for making those choices.
This is just the microcosmic perspective.
Turning the spotlight on the larger factors contributing to climate change only angers me all the more.
I don’t think the 12 years we have in hand will bring any effective changes to the climatic conditions, with most powerful fools still debating and denying climate change.
The only thing that can save our planet would be mass extinction. Mass extinction of fools like us, who didn’t know how to lead sustainable lives.
Humans don’t deserve this planet.
We’re better off gone. 

Tired.

Tired
Tired of giving all the love I had,
Tired of not receiving anything back.
Tired
Tired of trying too hard,
Tired of failing and falling
Flat on my face, every single time.
Tired 
Worn out
Energy sucked out.
Tired of being the lover
Without being loved.
Tired of being the nurturer
With no promises of growth.
Withering away like autumn leaves, 
Losing shimmer
Growing pale and dim
The soul is sucked with
A black hole left in its place.
Jarring silence.
Tired.
Unloved.
Dead.
Dead.
Dead.
