I haven’t posted on here in so long. But something, well rather, someone messaged me and made me think that maybe I should post again. This time it’s a little bittersweet. I’m writing this on 03/30/2020, in the middle of the Covid-19 outbreak, I know I usually don’t put the date but I feel that it’s necessary this time. I’ve been trapped in the house with my family for a week and a half, it is HELL. My family and I have never gotten along for more that like 5 days, were all snapping at each other and theres yelling every night. My dad quit his job, my moms hours got longer, school right now is cancelled until the 17th. I don’t know how I am going to make it till then without loosing my mind. But I have to make it, I haven’t gotten to see my girlfriend or my best friend. I miss them so much, they keep me sane and I haven’t gotten my break to see them. But after this is over, I get to see them. I get to spend the night at Kittys, and I’ll get to hold my girlfriend. Jeez, this isn’t what I had planned for this post. This post was brought on because an old ‘friend’ messaged me. She has done it a couple times, I don’t know when I decide to actually respond, but tiktok says it best “Boi do I fucking regret it”. She keeps asking to catch up, to hang out, but it just makes me think back to the way I was when I was friends with her. It wasn’t a good version of me. I was scared, and quiet. I didn’t speak up for myself and I let people tell me that their problems were more important than mine. When I was friends with her, I had just started to realize that I was depressed, and within a couple years that realization turnt into an attempt. An attempt that landed me in a mental hospital. When that happened, she was no where to be found, there were few people that actually tried to contact me, I was gone for a week, and the people who were actually ‘Worried’ about me, are no longer in the picture. We’ve all changed and the way I changed just didn’t work with them. I started to stand up for myself, I started to speak up, I started to actually take care of myself, and that meant getting rid of the toxic people in my life. And when I lost them, I gained two of the most amazing people, and I will never let them go. They are there for me when I spiral, and while I wish I could say that I trust them, I find that I’m still struggling with my trust issues. But I’m getting there. Things are moving forward. Sh*t, this wasn’t where this post was suppose to go either, I wanted to congratulate myself for coming so far, and get all inspirational and sh*t. But now I’m just realizing that my old friend, the one who wants to get close with me again, isn’t someone I need in my life. She made me feel unimportant, she constantly told me that her problems were more important. I can’t go back to being friends with her, and thats ok, I don’t know how I am going to tell her that I can’t be friends with her again, but right now I don’t think I have to, she isn’t apart of my life, and I don’t owe her any explanation right? Heh, look at me, getting all tough and sh*t. 6th grade me would be so proud of me.
