Today I called my mom because my life feels really out of control right now. I’ve been trying to do it all by myself but today I broke down. Today I felt like I couldn’t fight anymore. This is what she said to me:
“I love you. I know who you are. You know who you are. Everything is fine. I will always be here with you.”

Sometimes I have these moments of quiet and I realize ”hey, I haven’t called my mom in a while, I should do that”
And I think that’s pretty important. If you’re reading this, and there’s someone you haven’t talked to in a bit, do it. Give em a call, if you can.
We’ll all be here when you get back!

my mom always told me this. asking for help, seeking support, accepting care when it is offered

Ever since leaving my hometown, whenever I am feeling unreasonably stressed and tired and don’t have the energy and focus to journal, I call my Mum like a child. I’m very grateful that she’s the kind of person who can listen to me cry and contradict myself multiple times within the same conversation but still talks to me like I’m making sense and like my feelings are valid. Generally, she just tells me that I need sleep.

it's not only fun but deeply moving, that connection we create together. listening to the words of someone you don't know. getting a look into another life, sometimes very different than your own, sometimes very similar. it feels like you're not alone. it feels like praying.

yesterday my girlfriend was sobbing in bed because she felt like a failure. at first, i didn't know what to do. i tried to help her on her tasks, i tried to do the job for her. it didn't work. it didn't seem to be helping at all. so i stopped and laid down next to her. and i held her hand. and we stayed like that for half an hour. then, slowly, carefully, she started to get closer to me. she hugged me. she was still crying but she was now letting me into that pain. and i thought: this is what i want for you. this is what i want for us. to be able to rest with each other.

I’m alone. I’m alone forever. I am the loneliest person to ever exist. I gave myself that title. Sometimes I wear it proudly. Sometimes it breaks my heart. I am missing something and I don’t know what it is. Maybe I never will. I am looking for something that takes my breath away.
