Btw in your 20’s and 30’s you’ll start rediscovering the niche interests and hobbies you had as a kid. It’s very important you revisit them. Your younger self was actually on to something
One of the hardest adult lessons is that you still have to show up, no matter what you're carrying. Do it sad. Do it grieving. Do it exhausted. Life doesn't pause to spare you, it keeps moving, so you keep moving too.
i used to send such long paragraphs explaining how i feel but now i just don't say anything. i've learned that it doesn't matter what you say, if they don't care they just don't. and nothing you say will change that. keep your guard up. don't waste your time and energy.
