What cursed compliment are you?

"You seem like you'd disappear for 6 months and come back hotter."

You're elusive. Unreachable. Emotionally inconvenient and a little mythical.

what are you seeking?

ACCEPTANCE

"i look in the mirror and don't recognize the face staring back." // oh, little songbird, when did you stop singing? why do you let yourself fade into the background, so sure you're not worth seeing? who convinced you that you are nothing but empty air? for as long as you can remember, you've screamed at the sky to be noticed, to be seen, but that never quite worked, did it? so you accepted your role. you learned to bite your tongue, to watch, to fade away. it's easier that way, isn't it? better quiet than ignored. at least this way, you have some control over the situation. but it stings, doesn't it? the more you quiet yourself, the more you force yourself to fade away, the harder it is to reach you. you're losing yourself...and that terrifies you, doesn't it? what you seek is acceptance, to be seen and loved and listened to. and, little ghost, you deserve it. you are worth knowing. i see you. now let others do the same. step into the sunlight and sing, little one. i believe in you.

what do you need to feel okay?

sit by the sea and forget you're alive

you're stuck in your head and can't figure out how to get out. you need to sit by the sea and clear your head. let the waves and the sand and the smell of salt in the air remind you that you are more than your thoughts, you're a whole person. ground yourself in the physical world and remember that you're a part of it. you're not floating in the never-ending space of your thoughts, you're right here. if there's no water near you, just going outside and paying attention to the nature around you will help. find something to focus on. you're right here.
