I was going to rant about something that disturbed me, but instead I realize I’ll just ignore it. Why focus on the crap people post when it’s hurting others when you know in the end tumblr won’t do anything to fix that nor will it suddenly make those people stop what they’re posting. It won’t help them better themselves.
I’ve learned on my own that you can only improve and better yourself when you’re willing to open your mind and want to better yourself actively. As bad as you want to help others stop hurting, they will never see where you’re coming from unless they actively want that help.
I truly am grateful in these little moments. Grateful for my wonderful partner for having come into my life and be that push and realization that I want to be a better person as a whole. Grateful for the family that gave me the space and environment to heal and grow. And grateful for the fact I stopped being pitiful and allowing myself to run into constant self-hate.
I still have my days of course. I don’t think those bad thoughts will ever just disappear permanently. But I want to live. I want to enjoy life and find the beauty in the little things. I want to know that the day I do find myself passing, I’m proud to see all that I’ve accomplished and got to be so lucky to experience.
And although I will never be the help so many people need- I hope for their sakes they can all one day crawl out of that hole of despair they’re digging themselves in. That they too will find some sort of enjoyment and contentment in their life. Something that’s truly full filling. Something that isn’t harming themselves or others.
