"but you survived" i disassociate, like a lot. my heart drops when someone raises their voice. i shut down very easily; and i’m far too observant. i always feel like a burden. i isolate often. but yeah, sure, i guess i survived.
If we date, don’t stop being you. Keep having fun, keep seeing your friends, keep chasing your goals, and keep enjoying your life. A relationship should add to your life, not take away from it. Just make sure you save time for us too.
