feeling like people do not like me as much i as i think they do
i know if you don’t like yourself is manifests and blah blah blah
but it just kind of feels like my self hatred is a stab wound and i can’t stop the bleeding and everyone around me has to wipe up the blood and i just watch as it stains their clothes and it feels like i’m frozen
whatever i don’t know i’m sure it’s not nowhere near as deep as i’m making it

I’m learning that being heard without having to explain myself twice is a kind of love I didn’t know I needed. I don’t need perfect. I just need real.
Tried to make a post about how much Christmas sucks, but it was mostly incoherent, so instead I’ll post the cliff notes version:
