Chapter 26

if you’re happy for literally any reason no matter how “small” or “stupid” you’re winning in this world as far as I can tell

we reblog our unsaid thoughts

being a people pleaser your whole life is the equivalent of fighting the voice in your head that's always going "maybe i SHOULD dim myself so other people are more comfortable" "maybe i SHOULD overcompensate for other people's insecurities" "maybe i DO deserve being treated like this" "i know they treated me like shit..... but what if they were going through something (repeat for 80 more times until a harsh lesson is learned)" "maybe i DON'T have a right to be annoyed by this thing that any reasonable person would be annoyed by" "maybe i SHOULD stretch myself thin" and it keeps going and there's no tangible end in sight

you were the right person at the right time. you and I just weren't the person for each other.

life is so subtle sometimes that you barely notice yourself walking through the doors you once prayed would open.
