I want to help you hold this hurt

If you'll only let me

Please don't push me away

It just hurts because you used to feel like home, and now I don't belong here

oh this made me miserable

[plain-flavoured-english]

As I get older I’m starting to let go of the guilty urge to build permanent habits. Like, a while ago I decided I would start jumping rope every day. I did it for like three weeks and felt good about it. Then I got bored, because of course I did, because I’m a human person. So now I do a bit of kickboxing because that’s what I like now. The other week I cut all sugar from my diet, just for a week, to challenge myself. Now I’m back to eating sweets but I don’t crave them as much.

Growth is about stretching, trying new things, and setting small, realistic goals for yourself, not picking a “good habit” you’ve decided you will be doing always and forever from now on. That’s not discipline. That’s pointless self-torture and unhealthy resistance to change.

What’s good for you today will not necessarily be what’s good for you tomorrow.

if you are recovering from a very dark moment in your life, regardless of what it might be or where you are in your journey, i want you to know i admire all the strength you have had up until now to start all over again. i know it must be scary to acknowledge all of the work you need to do in order to get better, but the fact you already want to get better, move on and feel healthy means the world and nobody should underestimate that. not even you.

I remember when i was not so important to you.

I remember how it made me feel. And i never want to feel that way again.

Not by anyone's hand, least of all yours.

Things are different now. That's clear

But I won't let my guard down

I'm hurting myself too much to deal with it from you

I'm raw, though every now and then I believe myself to be healed

Something breaks through my thin skin and

Well you see.

I miss my best friend. I'm completely at a loss for how to handle who he is right now and I'm afraid for the person he's becoming
