being in your 20’s is like “if I can just get through this week I’ll be ok” but every fucking week

Little Women (2019) really captured that heartache of having to say goodbye to your childhood and the loneliness that comes with everyone around you leaving someway or another and feeling like you are left behind with nothing but the memory of the happy times and I’m fucked up about it.

I honestly believe that people who lost their childhood, teenage years to mental illness and/or trauma are so strong for still being here. Especially once you’re about 18-25 and trying to relearn how to be in society and healthy and human.

Especially when you decide to work towards getting better.

Especially when your life isn’t where you wished it would be.

Stay alive okay? If you lost your youth, I’m sorry and I’m so proud of you for still being here. Keep fighting. Your best years are ahead of you.

I hope one day you wake up not bearing that heavy feeling anymore.

Some of you have never gotten all your books confiscated by your third grade teacher because you were reading them under your desk in math class and it shows 

Me: Alright I’m going to be super productive tomorrow!

Me, the second my alarm goes off:

me: i’m gonna keep my opinionated mouth shut for once and stay out of it

me, 20 seconds later:

y’all make sure you date someone that cares about your mental health pls

why do people always ask me if I’m okay when I’m lying on the floor. yes I’m okay. I’m living my best life. can’t a girl just lie on the floor and stare blankly at the ceiling listening to 1970s Swedish pop sensation ABBA sing Waterloo. I’m having me time

I know you’re tired bitch but keep fucking going

if it’s meant for me, I will have it. if it isn’t, I’m prepared to receive something even better.
