there’s that whole thing with being a former gifted kid, or even just an outgoing person, or a highly involved/high achiever. maybe just a really happy, entertaining type.
i feel like i’ve lost that part of myself, and i’ve tried to become like other people, but that didn’t really work either. i want to be MORE, but it’s so hard sometimes, y’know?
if you feel that way, i hope you know ,and remember always, YOU ARE STRONG. existing can be exhausting, in any capacity, and you should give yourself grace for that. be kind to yourself!

as a self-claimed lover of loved, beloved of all (it’s acc what my full name means so maybe my fam created this character trait for me idk) — people be testing you.
people be inherently projecting their own problems, contingencies against thr faith of all things good, and you are left unassembling and cleaning up shit in an apartment that you haven’t lived in since June (damage deposit of peeling paint and tired souls)
It’s so hard to continue the path of grace, to be ‘the better person’ — so much of my life, I’ve contained my rage, bottled it into journal-entry analyses of ‘how to be a better person’
sometimes tho… I want to rip everything to shreds. Shout FUCK YOU not to the void of my car on long pursuits of unhappiness down the highway, but to the people who made me question my ability to love, to feel love.
I hate it all. but I gotta keep moving forward 🌧️😴➡️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥😜🙂🤞🏾

I‘ve spent my whole life giving into all of my self-destructive tendencies. I’ve been so unwilling to accept the life I‘ve been given as my own that I tend to get myself hurt over and over again as if that’s going to change anything. For a while I was convinced I was just going to kms soon anyways, but I‘ve realized recently that I really don’t have that in me and that was a big wake up call. I‘m done applying self-hatred and a desire to see myself hurt onto every single decision I make. I‘m learning to love who I am and accept the one I am right now, regardless of what’s to come. Everyone deserves to live a happy life, and that includes me. It includes you, too <3

it takes so long to get into, with all those weird words, but it’s just a lotta fun and a cool read nonetheless.
i’d also like to mentionnnnn that Le Carre, specifically A Spy Who Came In From The Cold, is great (though I haven’t finished it yet 😭 the writing is veryyyy gripping, and it’s got enough going on to keep you interested.)
i’ve developed a penchant for older books/media, for no apparent reason loll, but yeah 😊😊
