How something feels isn’t always how something is. Sometimes what feels like the end of the world is just the end of an era, and what feels impossible is just difficult, and what feels like betrayal is just miscommunication. One of the most important things you’ll learn in life is to not limit the world to your perception of it.
make yourself beautiful or leave yourself plain– either way, to be seen is to suffer. embroider yourself and await the needle. accept the eyes that will rest on you like birds on a wire, comfortable for them and crawling for you. take up your skin and tan it lovely, soft, or leave it in its roughest state and feel fires of scorn scorch the ugliness you have not tucked away. write wrath in the mirror and wait for it to move you– your choices do not matter. you are. and there is no existence without perception, and no perception without pain.
I grieve for younger me.
You deserved better and you really didn’t know.
