“You Cannot Control What Happens To You, But You Can Control Your Attitude Towards What Happens To

Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

I’m tired of fighting. This battle has gone on too long and I have grown tired and weary. These nights I spend alone, not a friend in sight. I isolate & when I disassociate, I wake up in my own blood. I drown myself in alcohol so I don’t have to feel my feelings & when I feel nothing I drink to feel something. it’s a fucked up paradox, but here I am. I can feel the end. I’m scared. I reached out to professionals but they don’t believe me. My own best friend deserted me with no explanation when they promised they’d be here through thick and thin. I’m tired of being me. I’ve changed, I’ve done better, but at the end of the day I still feel so fucking empty and lost. I feel like I can’t go on, but I push through. I’ve never hated myself so much in my life, and I just want peace.
