a regulated nervous system isn't quiet. it's responsive. it laughs loud in restaurants. it cries at commercials. it gets a full body chill from a song it hasn't heard in years. people mistake numbness for peace because numbness is easier to manage. but real peace has a pulse. it moves through you instead of around you.
the weirdest part of growing up is realizing u can outgrow ur idols too :( dati you knew everything about them, ngayon you just… don’t feel the same anymore. no hate, you just grew into someone who doesn’t need them the same way anymore.
