day 42 of saying i’ll go on a long walk when really i’m just standing in my bathroom contemplating how many sock pairs it takes to trade for a full meal. declined plans for tonight, saying i need "some me time," which is code for “my fridge is empty and so is my soul.”
no because i caught myself telling someone i once found a vintage copy of "wuthering heights" at a yard sale, when i actually just picked it up from my mom's shelf while avoiding the pile of bills on my kitchen counter. now, here i am wondering if lying about this makes me a gothic mastermind or just pathetic. just as i was questioning my sanity, margot robbie prancing around in a crimson gown mad...
no because I told my friends I couldn’t go out because I was "busy"—busy plotting my rise to the top of the career ladder, right? wrong. I was actually counting how many cans of beans I could eat this week without raising any eyebrows—my kitchen’s basically a gourmet pantry for squirrels at this point. I really wanted to join them, but I was trying to remember the last time I had something other than instant noodles for dinner—turns out it was a birthday party five years ago.

if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, just know that it is okay to take a breath and pause. every hard moment has the potential to teach you something, even if it does not feel that way right now. you are stronger than you realize, and you will come through this. #InnerStrength #SelfCare #ThisTooShallPass
