it’s weird how there’s nothing that excites me anymore. things that used to make me happy or give me something to look forward to just don’t feel the same now. i’m not necessarily sad. I just feel strangely indifferent
sometimes, i'd rather let you keep your version of the truth while i quietly adjust my place in your life. because at this point, i’m not trying to prove that i’m right. i just want to protect whatever peace I have left
ang lala ng trust issues ko lately. to the point na kahit gaano pa ako ka-self-aware, kapag may sinasabi sila sa akin, nag-o “oo” na lang ako. not because i believe them, but because i already know when something doesn’t feel true
maybe this is what protecting my peace looks like now. choosing silence over confrontation, acceptance over arguments, and distance over forcing people to be honest with me. i may know when you’re lying, but don’t always need to expose
