in a hopelessly platonic state of mind whenever i think of my friends like wow how did we all get so lucky to meet each other and stay in each others lives yippeeee
You're too gifted to be paralyzed by procrastination. The cure isn’t pressure. It’s motion. Tiny, almost laughably small motion. One sentence. One rep. One honest attempt that breaks the spell. Momentum doesn’t ask for skill, it creates it. Start sloppy, start tired, start now.
Feeling like you have to be constantly perfect because you have zero faith that people would forgive you for even the smallest mistakes… all by yourself, gorgeous?
“I’m not THAT traumatized!” meanwhile you perpetually feel like you’re on thin ice with everybody and that all it’ll take to be abandoned is one unintentional screw-up
i like things. i like things very easily. i am very easily pleased. very easily joybaited. liking things comes naturally to me. my list of likes is ten times longer than my list of dislikes. i am a professional liker of things.
“But you survived”
I disassociate, like a lot.
My heart drops when someone raises their voice.
I shut down very easily.
I'm far too observant.
I always feel like a burden.
I isolate often.
But yeah, sure, I guess I survived.
Girl to girl at some point, you have to stop letting your depression win. You have to stop sitting in the same room, replaying the same thoughts, waiting for something to change. Nobody’s coming to save you, it’s on you to save yourself. Get up. Take a shower. Go for a walk. Work on that dream you’ve been putting off. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just start! You owe it to yourself to fight for a better version of you, even on the days when you don’t feel like it. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but every time you get up instead of giving up… that’s progress.
i’m so grateful for the times when i’m included, like when someone saves me a seat, invites me even if i can’t go, or asks me to join a group photo. these simple gestures mean a lot to me. it’s the little things that matter most. they don’t cost anything but mean everything
