the day cps showed up was the same day i realized i haven't really lived, just gone through the motions like a character in a story nobody reads anymore, but the funny thing is, all i could think about was the perfect granola bars in the cupboard instead of proving i'm enough.
sitting in my tiny apartment, scrolling through social media, watching everyone celebrate promotions and vacations while i juggle unpaid bills and leftover pizza for dinner, it just feels surreal that at this point, my biggest achievement is finally getting the laundry folded even if it took all week.
if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, know that it is okay to feel this way and that even the toughest storms eventually give way to clearer skies. #HopeExists #YouMatter

i spent the whole day in a mall food court, literally just staring at people, pretending to scroll on my phone. i think the hardest part was when i realized that no one noticed i was just a ghost in a sea of shiny happy faces.
