| “Even when things are wonderful, I’m always waiting for something horrible to happen.” “When I’m being quiet, I’m not sad, bored, tired or whatever else they want to fill in the blank with. There’s just so much going on in my mind, sometimes I can’t keep up with what’s going on around me.” “Sometimes when I’m feeling the anxiety, I have no idea why I’m anxious.” “For real — it’s not you, it’s me. Generalized anxiety feels like drowning all the time. Most times life in general intensifies that feeling. If I have a hard time making plans, don’t take it personally." “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for every invite I’ve declined, every time I’ve seemed irrational or nasty because I was overwhelmed or scared. I’m sorry for every time I’ve said I’d do something but... jan 1 2016 ∞

People are allowed not to forgive you. If you did something that hurt them, it doesnt matter how much you acknowledge your fault, you still hurt them. And you arent entitled to their forgiveness because you acknowledge their pain. Move on. Do better. oct 4 2019 ∞
oct 4 2019 + "The perfect similarity is the absolute difference." "Nothing isn't better or worse than anything. Nothing is just nothing." "The past is just a story we tell ourselves." "Yeah, you're always gonna disappoint somebody." "A heart is not a box that you fill up, it expands the more you love" "No! No, I think it’s… I think anybody who falls in love is a freak. It’s a crazy thing to do. It’s kind of like a form of socially acceptable insanity." "Depression is like wanting to go home but already being there." “We accept the love we think we deserve.” “So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.” may 31 2014 ∞
aug 14 2016 + "You’re going to be sad. You’re going to want to scream and punch things. Do it. Let out every ounce of anger you have. Sit on the floor and cry until you feel numb. Listen to songs that make your heart sink to your feet. Write angry letters to all the people who have broken you, left you, ignored you or hurt you. Throw your hairbrush at the wall. Do it twelve times. Do it until you feel like you can breathe again. You’re going to be sad. You’re going to want to hurt yourself. Don’t you dare do it. Sit on the floor and watch cartoons like you did when you were little. Listen to songs that make you want to dance around your bedroom in your underwear at 3 A.M. Make paper airplanes out of those angry letters and watch them soar into the fireplace. Brush all the knots out of your hair and say “I am worth it” into the mirror. Say it twelve times. Say it until you feel like you can... apr 4 2015 ∞

My mother once told me that trauma is like Lord of the Rings. You go through this crazy, life-altering thing that almost kills you (like, say, having to drop the one ring into Mount Doom), and that thing by definition cannot possibly be understood by someone who hasn’t gone through it. They can sympathize, sure, but they’ll never really know, and more than likely they’ll expect you to move on from the thing fairly quickly. But that’s not how it works. Some lucky people are like Sam. They can go straight home, get married, have a whole bunch of curly headed Hobbit babies and pick up their gardening right where they left off, content to forget the whole thing and live out their days in peace. Lots of people however, are like Frodo, and they don’t come home the same person they were when they left, and everything is more horrible and more hard then it eve... oct 14 2018 ∞
