"You look tired"
I'm so tired not even sleep can fix this
"How are you feeling"
I haven't felt anything in a while
"You're falling behind"
No I'm giving up
"You've been distant lately"
I'm fighting for my life rn
Telling someone to
“move on”
“just let it go”
“don’t dwell on it”
isn’t supportive.
It’s invalidating.
Healing doesn’t come from ignoring pain
it comes from feeling safe enough to fucking face it.
People imagine suicide as a single moment.
But often it’s a thousand tiny moments leading there.
The nights you whisper “I can’t do this.”
The mornings you wonder why you woke up.
The days you’re alive, but not really living.
I owe myself an apology for staying in spaces where I wasn’t wanted or appreciated, for forcing broken connections and relationships. I owe myself an apology for putting people who never valued me above myself and for doubting my own worth.
I'm turning into someone who doesn't care about anything anymore but maybe that's okay, because when I cared about everything in me, they treated it like it meant nothing
