My biggest fear is of failure. Failure to succeed, failure to love, failure to do enough, failure to write enough, failure to set goals, failure to achieve goals, failure to find home, failure to make amends, failure to forgive, failure to forget, failure to live in moments, failure to recognize the good moments, failure to cherish, failure to experience. Failure, in general though. I am utterly consumed by the fear that nothing I do will be enough. I am so fearful, that nothing I ever do feels like enough. Like- you know how when you’re afraid of something like spiders, you’re paranoid that you’ll encounter them all the time, everywhere? That’s me- perpetually paranoid that everything I’m doing is a failure of some sort. And I know, I have nothing to really be afraid of. After all, 99% of the time, the spiders (and failures) aren’t really there. 99% of the time, I’m not failing to achieve my goals. Instead, 99% of the time, I’m failing to see my own successes. But man, I’m so damn paranoid, that everything I do- never feels like enough. Not in life, not in relationships, not even in this bit of writing. My fear controls me, and though I know I may have the potential to defeat it, I’m much too afraid to try. After all, what if I fail?

The older i get the more i realize

  1. Friendship is not something that is common. Genuine Friendship is rare 
  2. Your mother should be appreciated 
  3. Everybody wants something and never ask themselves what they bring to the table
  4. The energy you give the world is the energy you receive
  5. Time alone is not a bad thing
  6. Love is a gift and is not something you can demand or force
  7. Being comfortable should be your main priority

sometime in the near future you will wake up at 3AM beside the person you love most in the world; wearing next to nothing, you will touch their cheek and they will sleepily pull you closer. the sky will be pink and gold and reflecting onto your love’s bare back. you will feel safe and secure.

what a beautiful person

And to the introverted theatre kids, public speakers with social anxiety, and florists with allergies.

they should love your passions, but be honest with you about them. not let you self-destruct, but know when to take their hands off and let you do what you want. they should know how to help you, and if they don’t, they should know to ask. be there when you need them, as often as they can be. when you give someone everything, they should be just as invested as you are. someone who calls your bluff but knows when to help you double down when it’s necessary. don’t bother going all in with people who won’t return the favor. sometimes you put it all out there and you get nothing in return. but one day a friend or a dog or a person on the train will find a way to reciprocate. and you’ll learn what it takes to feel okay.
