Thinking of planning to commit suicide

I don’t have much reason to live. I don’t have much ambitions. I’m really bored and am frustrated. There’s just nothing that is doing it. Except for reading Nietzsche.

Thinking of planning to commit suicide. There is not much for me in this life. Illusion. I’ll just leave this worthless place and it won’t even matter.

Apple-Panning

When a restaurant raises its prices while lowering its quality. The term comes from the notable Los Angeles restaurant "The Apple Pan" that was notorious for Apple-Panning.

That used to be my go-to poke place but they started Apple-Panning.
