I feel like society is getting more and more narcissistic and cruel and if you’re someone who feels a lot and cares a lot, you can start to wonder if there’s something wrong with you. There isn’t. You’re simply trying to adapt to abnormally harsh conditions

“We’ve been dating for a year and he moved on within a week. Why can’t I move on that quickly? What’s wrong with me?”

Maybe there’s nothing wrong with you. Maybe there’s something terribly wrong with that person if they can disconnect so easily from someone they claim to love.

But because society applauds that type of behavior, it seems that they’re the “strong” one. They’re the “normal” one. And somehow there’s something wrong with you for not being able to quickly let go of someone you genuinely love

So now you’re working overtime to get rid of your emotions because now you’ve been made to feel ashamed of your emotions. Emotions that are completely normal and healthy when you’re in a normal and healthy society.
