Be mindful around people who’ve lost a parent, sibling, or child.
That kind of loss changes someone at the root. It strips away tolerance for anything fake and makes peace non-negotiable. When you’ve had to bury someone that close, you don’t move through life the same way again. Something in you shifts permanently. The version of you that existed before doesn’t fully exist anymore. You smile differently, love differently, even breathe differently and no amount of time ever really resets that.
my anxiety has a loophole that if somebody else is equally or more uncomfortable i develop the sudden ability to DO THE THING. i can’t go and ask for more ketchup for myself but if my friend wants more ketchup i’m out of my seat in a second
The most tiring thing about adulting to me is how CONSTANT it is. There is ALWAYS some shit to sort out. you're chilling means you're probably just ignoring the million things on your to-do list.
i hate hate HATE that i require so much reassurance like things could be going perfectly fine but there’s always a part of me that believes that all of it is a lie
People think depression means your sad and crying all the time. Depression for me is being stuck in a twilight zone. i can't think , i don't respond to things , nothing is interesting , i just feel empty. not sad , just blank. I have a lot of days like this and they are hard .
