Even in our darkest of times, memories from happier times can help us look toward a brighter future

do you ever wonder if that person you think about and miss ever misses you or thinks about you?

I use to try and escape my past. Didn't want it to be a part of who I was trying to become, didn't wany anything to do with it. I cut a lot of people out of my life because I wanted a fresh start, and I got it. I don't regret my decision. I know I'm better off for it. But sometimes, even though you know a person is toxic you can't help but still care about them and still want them in your life. My past best friend was a terrible person. She did a lot of bad things, hurt people I cared about, hurt me. But we still had good times together, made great memories. And that's why, on nights like this when I think about her, I miss her. Her and all the other people who use to mean the world to me and now, may as well live on another one. I wouldn't be in as good of a place as I am today if I was still with them. And I probably wouldn't have the great people who came into my life after them. But I can't deny that they also got a piece of my life, a piece I can't get back. Maybe that's what I miss. The me I was with them.

it’s been so long since I last posted here

or anywhere, really. I hope, if you read this, you’re doing well and learning to be at peace with yourself.

this year has been tougher than anticipated, and somewhere along the line I lost love for myself - the love I had finally accumulated after years of self-doubt.

trying to build myself back up whilst also sharing my heart with another.

if you do nothing else today,

try to remind yourself of your good qualities. you deserve love, and lots of it.

It’s so weird to know someone’s birthday by heart but not even know them anymore

“I saw you in a picture on my phone

Guess I didn't quite erase them all

And for the first time in a while

I thought about giving you a call”

(WARNING: VENT)

You guys ever tried getting back in touch with an old friend and they either don't remember you or they just don't care?

That's what happened to me recently and I just kinda feel like shit now. I mean ig I didn't expect to throw a parade but Ig I was just hoping to reconnect and obviously they didn't really want to.

I mean you can do everything right and they still wouldn't want anything to do with you, and you just have to accept that. But it doesn't mean you can't mourn the friendship itself.

And i think I'm just kinda mourning all my failed friendships. Or maybe it's not that they failed, it's just that they ran their course, but still.
