I tried so hard to preserve strings but some had to loosen to make space for newer ones. I’m more comfortable in myself. My needs, my background, my character. The better version of myself that was once a ludicrous thought has slowly become attainable. I’m finally happy.
since starting college I have:
-switched majors/career paths
-attended my first party
-failed my first exam
-felt at home in dance
-started a sims machinima
-turned 19
-went to South Korea
-my worst heartbreaks, romantic and platonic
-my first full time job
-nail ambassador
-turned 20
-organized my first children’s volunteer program
-learned how to code
-NSBE Top 5
-attended my first convention
-my first summer internship
-my first apartment
-learned how to meal prep
-my book is celebrating 5 years
It’s very easy to get stuck in how much I lost
okay so out of every person I invited to my birthday party not a single one has reached out to me all month and I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t hurt
it truly baffles me how this country wants to pretend antisemitism is the work of the devil meanwhile racism? homophobia? transphobia? misogyny? “you’re being soft”
@b_isforbroke Also, I believe the point of displaying behaviors of the past is to open our eyes to the reality of the world. I typically hear this phrase as a way to shut down discussion and write things off as “of the time” but truly, what is humanity if we can’t reevaluate?
