I don’t think it’s dramatic at all. In fact, I think this kind of openness and honesty is what we need more of in the world. Be vulnerable. Share your struggles. It’s OK and necessary to have big or confusing emotions. Sometimes life sucks and is disproportionately hard for someone. At times what seems “small” to others or even your past self can be a giant issue for Todays You and it can be hard to understand or explain but that doesn’t negate the reality of a struggle.
I hope you’re doing better but I’d encourage to stay open with others and remind you it’s ok to lean on and borrow hope from others during seasons of struggle. All the best.
I re-read my journal from my childhood/ teen years.
I should not have done that, it sent me into a very dark place again.
Becoming an adult is hard, but with time I have learned that many of the things I thought were a massive life altering event turned out to be some of the most inconsequential things that ever happened to me.
Still struggle with self loathing and self doubt, but I think that’s the human experience.
A lot of the things that I thought were “ earth shattering” really ended up not being a big deal.
But man o man, when I think of some of the “normal” things I went through with my family life, those were the ones that messed me up and I didn’t even realize it lol
Way too real. It’s pretty funny how life works like that, though. All in all, we’re still breathin’, obviously those of us here are in a well enough off position to be obsessive over a toy (lol) so we must be doing something right, or be fortunate in our own ways.
