Miss Me?

They aren't you.

“right person wrong time” except the wrong timing is because we could not yet be the right people

tbh im not entirely immune to a villain with a tragic backstory but i do think villain origins are a lot more interesting when the focus is less "here is the original sin, the first big bad thing that happened to them that made them who they are" and more "here is the first time a person who maybe otherwise felt powerless in their life realized that they could hurt someone and get away with it"

you can get a lot more mileage out of analyzing a truly abhorrent character through the lens of like. what sort of conditions would allow or even incentivize this kind of cruelty? what kind of person benefits from those conditions and how? over the more typical who hurt them type analysis. imo.

i knew i wasn't wanted but i tried to be anyways.

I want my heart to be ripped out so that I can no longer feel this heaviness and sadness that has darkened my heart.

You deserve a life that doesn’t constantly feel like something you have to recover from.

sometimes i wonder who i’d be if i didn’t spend so much energy just trying to stay alive
