i kept losing my mind for the past two years because i never got a break and now that i'm getting one, i didn't realize you could live this way too.
you can make mistakes and still be happy about it (i painted mount fuji but fuji wasn't fujing yet i was happy when i finished it, i restarted gym again despite knowing how bad my form is, there's no one judging me for it, rather people are helping me escape my body image issues --- not completely, just momentarily at least, and it's liberating).
if this was how you told me living would be like, i don't think i would have thought about dying, wanting a car to crash me. i'm finally feeling myself, not wholly, just bit by bit. i am starting to understand that i never really wanted to be sad and gain all attention, i wanted validation because i was never in peace with myself. even now when i type this, i'm not.
but i haven't felt this happy in a while, i haven't laughed this good in a while, i haven't smiled this well in a while, i haven't been in a constant good mood the entire day.
i just hope i get to do this every three to four months. getting to do this after two years is so relieving. i hope you guys get to do it too <3
