Violence
he said bye to me with his voice and iβm giggling & kicking me feet what the fuck is wrong with me
iβm starting to hate the people iβm supposed to love. and iβm starting to enjoy the feeling of being alone. i donβt like anyone and i donβt need anyone. sometimes i force myself to feel something so i know im not going insane but in all honesty i donβt feel anything and i fucking love it
fuck you. fuck you and all your expectations. iβm going at my own pace. iam not behind and i will make a beautiful life for myself and i will run far away from you and not look back
throughout high school i only went to one football game, one.
βbut you donβt like footballβ
but youβre supposed to go and youβre supposed to have fun and like all the other events at schoolβ¦ i never went to any of them. i was never allowed to do anything. i never just hung out.
you donβt know what it feels like to be so secluded and protected to the point where i donβt even have a personality or story of my own
itβs not that i hate the idea of getting older itβs the fact that i donβt know where im gonna be in life. iβve always been taught to expect the worst and nobody ever really taught me how to manage adulthood and responsibilities. i already feel so much pressure to be someone when i havenβt even lived
i see my face change every year i get older. i donβt even remember what i looked like 4 years ago and i donβt recognize that kid anymore
i havenβt known peace since i realized iβm only getting older and time goes on whether iβm ready or not. in another universe i stay a teenager a little bit longer
remembering the past and thinking about the future physically makes me chest hurt and i feel ill. iβm so scared
my friends never really listen or understand me iβm too complex for them. and they quite frankly give shit advice so writing out my feelings on this app is my version of journaling and self care
