it's sad to think about the fact that you want to do, learn, or achieve a lot, but you have no motivation to do anything at all.

recovery can be difficult and can take a lot longer than you expected. don’t be hard on yourself for getting burnt out. have compassion even when it feels like your not recovering “fast enough” or “correctly.” everyone is on their own path.
now i understand why our parents often told us not grow up too fast. because they are aware of how challenging adult life will be, whereas we were clueless that once we reached adulthood, we would have wished to go back to our childhood.
To protect your ✨peace✨ it is okay to:
Say no.
Cancel plans.
Watch less news.
Stop following accounts that trigger you.
Stop following people IRL who stress you.
Set Rules.
Do things that make you happy and relaxed.
Change your mind.
Honor your boundaries.
Put your needs first.
Spend less time with negative people.
Talk to someone.
Spend time away from electronics.
Text back later.
Walk away.
Take deep breaths to stay calm.
Not over do it.
Take Breaks.
Read or watch things that make you feel good.
Let others know if you're stressed.
Spend time on hobbies you love.
Forgive yourself.
Let yourself have a bad day.
Let go.
“Healing is layers. Healing is time. Healing is excruciating. Once you think it’s done, it’s not.”
— Mary DeMuth
nights come devoid of the expanse of your silhouette: only the gnawing
winds
that reproach my bones what good is hope before remorse: when you hacked
your tresses before
my lips
could reach your
nape: with our perse detritus scattered i keep you as a divine shrapnel buried
deep in my pith
inferno: oblivious to your momentum swirling with a taste of non-existence
of
reticence
and you said:
there's no reason to obsess over fiery delights as the remoteness of memory
creeps like
bougainville
somewhere the sky is burning with your chrysanthemums and somewhere
it falls
through
my bones without you: without the taste of your tongue: the first light
won't ever make it here
before your urgencies consume
me and
everything that i will ever
touch
please remember that hurting someone else simply because you're hurting was never okay and never will be.
I hate this feeling I hate that after a long warm night, I could still feel blue the next morning I hate this feeling I hate that I oftentimes struggle to ignite the spark of living. I hate the feeling of emptiness When all I ever wanted is to embrace happiness I hate the feeling of being hopeless When all I ever wanted is to unleash myself and be free from darkness.
