how do you not feel completely and utterly hopeless every day? like, what if ur honestly not sure if you remember what it’s like to feel… okay? happy? not so wildly depressed day in & day out? especially with covid/the world ending/everything going to shit? asking for a friend
is it burnout? ADHD? the trauma of an ongoing pandemic? capitalism? climate crisis?
just kidding it's all of these things and the only answer I've got for us is "go lay down"
I dream of never being called strong again. I’m exhausted by strength. I want support. I want love. I want understanding. Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit or how often.
