wait, why have i spent my whole life treating my needs like they were just extra baggage? like when did apologizing for simply taking up space become my default setting? i mean, even when i try to stand tall, part of me is still cringing at the thought of how loudly my voice might echo in a quiet room. why do i feel like i'm wearing clown shoes in a silent movie, just waiting for someone to point ...
it's not that I dislike them. it's just... every time I watch them be the life of the party, I literally can't unsee the way they always take center stage, but somehow it's still always about them. I stood in the corner last week while they shared another hilarious story, feeling more like a shadow than a friend. honestly, part of me laughed so they wouldn’t see how alone I felt, but I can't help thinking it’s so wild how much everyone loves this person when I literally can’t find a moment where they’ve ever genuinely asked about anyone else’s life.

if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, just know that this moment is not the end of your story. you have made it through tough times before, and you have the strength to get through this one too. take it one day at a time, and trust that brighter days are on the horizon. #Encouragement #HopeExists
