If I had a nickel for every sin in me, I'd be a millionaire.

I procrastinate on my homework and sometimes leave it blank.

I spend hours and hours just lying about meaninglessly.

Despite believing that what society wants me to do is ultimately pointless, I don't stand up to it, and go to school doing the same pointless stuff over and over again.

I have dreams of becoming a novelist, and have written five in two and a half years, but it's not enough. Not until I pound in enough words every night.

I masturbate to pornography, objectifying women whether consciously or subconsciously.

Every time I might have offended someone, I don't say sorry, because I'm not sure I really am.

Instead of thinking or reading about deep things, I oftentimes just play video games and think about them instead.

My ego is too large to accept any actual form of advice or criticism to improve my work, thus you can see the low quality of the things I post here on DeviantART.

I have no real plans for the future, and no desire to better myself or the world.

As someone living in one of the richest places in a first world country, I consume an enormous amount of resources. However, I can't even properly enjoy my luxury as there's no one to share it with.

I have the darkest desire to kill and destroy sometimes… To rip the rest of the world to shreds and everyone that lives so meaninglessly, yet so carelessly.

When I have the noble desires to protect and comfort that beloved of mine (that doesn't even exist), I easily get distracted by lame jokes and video games.

I wonder, if an innocent or starving child in a third world country were to be put in my situation, would they gain all the sins I have? Or is it just me?

And sometimes I realize that ultimately I just have to laugh it off sometimes I distract myself, and delude myself into thinking what I'm doing matters by creating stories and artworks that I later on realize are sort of crap.

If I had a nickel for every sin in me, I'd be a millionaire. But even with that much money, I wouldn't be any happier.
I usually don't submit my rants to DA because they get too crazy. This is actually relatively mild for me.
