The pain is overwhelming and there's nothing I can do or take to stop it. Cutting myself isn't enough.
“you don’t owe anyone anything” actually you owe everyone everything!!! you OWE your table server and your coworkers and the elderly person you pass on the street and the dog on its walk and the child toddling along in the park and the driver trying to merge next to you and the pregnant person standing on public transport KINDNESS in return for theirs!! the connections we build are what give life meaning!!!
quote from Dead Girls Don’t Cry ✟
They will find someone better than you. They will replace you.
You are replaceable.
“I’d spent so long trying to fit in, trying to be someone I wasn’t, that I had no idea who I was any more.”
— Dorothy Koomson, The Rose Petal Beach
… I realized I’m an outsider again
I worked so hard to avoid this feeling
But it seems I always isolate myself with my mistakes
I put to much pressure on myself
and my relationships
leaving me to start over and once again,
be alone
- Divine
The trick is to do it without shame. Literally anything could be cool if you just did it shamelessly
