slowly giving up on myself

no apologies just karma

tell them i was the                                                                                                    warmest place you knew                                                                                    and that you turned me cold

I TOOK CARE OF MYSELF and it wasn’t beautiful.   I took care of myself and looked at the overdue bills in the face, even though it hurt. I took care of myself and cried ugly through the therapy session; made another appointment for next week. I put in the work and wrote all the bad memories in detail. I apologized to all the friends I didn’t have the energy to talk to. I finally cut off all my dead ends and bought produce; slimly avoided sustaining myself on barbecue chips and poetry. I recycled. I set an alarm for 8 hours of sleep and did not sleep more or less.   I took care of myself and it wasn’t bubble baths. It wasn’t lotion at Bath and Bodyworks and three-cheese pizza. It was uncomfortable. It wasn’t beautiful, but I am, and it didn’t have to be beautiful to be worth it.

Shoutout to everyone who didn’t expect to still be alive today.

I know life is rough and a lot of days you don’t want to be here anymore, but you are here for a reason. You might have to make choices in life that you never prepared for but you got this. Follow your heart, it will lead you the way. Please keep on fighting. I believe in every single one of you and I’m proud of everyone for surviving all your bad days so far. Stay safe.

look at you, still here, still living. even though it’s been hard, you’ve survived it all. you’re strong. you’ve made it in the past, you made it today, and you can make it tomorrow. you can make it everyday, because you’ve already proved that you can.
