āĀ where do you get your hope?Ā what keeps you going during all this?Ā ā
āĀ you know,Ā sometimes you donāt have to find the answers.Ā i think it can be enough to just admit youāre lost.Ā for now.Ā ā
āĀ sometimes,Ā i donāt feel like iām real.Ā not unless iām hurting in some way.Ā itās not like i want to be in pain,Ā but iām just so used to it.Ā i dunno what to do without it anymore.Ā ā
āĀ i just keep hoping that one day iāll have something else motivating meā something more than stubbornness or spite. i wanna feel like iām living.Ā ā
āĀ i learned the only thing i can believe in is me.Ā i have faith in myself.Ā thatās how i survived.Ā ā
āĀ i hope you know iām proud of you.Ā iāve seen how hard youāve been fighting to get where you are.Ā you might feel stuck,Ā but youāre not.Ā youāve come so far.Ā āĀ Ā
āĀ Ā when i told you i loved you,Ā you know i meant that right?Ā iām not talking just about all those warm feelings.Ā iām talking about putting in the work.Ā iām here to stay for the hard parts,Ā not just the pretty ones.Ā ā
āĀ Ā you donāt have to find the perfect words, Ā just tell me what youāre feeling. Ā iām here to listen. Ā ā Ā
āĀ you donāt have to carry it all.Ā humans arenāt made to be solitary creatures.Ā i want to help.Ā all you have to do is ask.Ā āĀ Ā
Ā āĀ i know i havenāt always been there in the past,Ā but iām here now.Ā iām trying.Ā please,Ā just let me in.Ā ā
āĀ i still care about you,Ā you know.Ā i could never stop caring about you.Ā but we were both drowning.Ā and one of us had to get out eventually.Ā āĀ
āĀ i think youāre still my person.Ā and iām hoping maybe one day,Ā i can be yours again too.Ā ā
āĀ iāll still be here when you need me.Ā that will never change.Ā āĀ Ā
āĀ i love you.Ā but i canāt keep watching you destroy yourself.Ā i canāt sit here and watch that anymore.Ā it hurts too much.Ā āĀ Ā
āĀ i already forgave you.Ā so why canāt you forgive yourself?Ā āĀ
āĀ itās not about what you think you do or donāt deserve.Ā i get to choose who to love.Ā iām an adult.Ā and i can make that decision.Ā so iām here to stay.Ā iām in this.Ā āĀ Ā
Ā āĀ if weāre going to do this again,Ā you have to promise it will be different.Ā you have to show me that youāre ready this time.Ā āĀ
āĀ Ā i donāt know how to make you believe that i can make us work again.Ā but iām not going to give up.Ā i did that once andāĀ well,Ā iām standing here again because it was the wrong choice.Ā give us another chance.Ā āĀ
āĀ iām lost without you.Ā and iām not asking you to fix me or be something youāre not.Ā iām just asking you to keep being the lighthouse you are just by being you.Ā Ā and let me be guide myself by it.Ā āĀ Ā
Ā āĀ Ā iāve never been very good at letting go.Ā and now i feel like thereās too many burdens iām holding on to and i donāt know how to get rid of them anymore.Ā āĀ Ā
āĀ why do you feel like you need to punish yourself so much?Ā ā
āĀ why do you keep saying that?Ā youāre not alone.Ā iām standing right here.Ā ā
āĀ what are you so afraid of?Ā why wonāt you let me in?Ā ā
