i started journaling again yesterday and i’ve been writing a lot and at the end of all my entries i end up making myself cry because the shit i write is just so sad that i genuinely just want to be okay because no one deserves to feel this way.

though i write in first person, my writings feel like i’m talking to someone outside of me and what i hear from what i say is just so sad that honestly i just want to give the person writing a hug even though the person writing is me

i’ve never wanted to love myself before writing because i felt so unworthy but reading everything i have to say and having it on paper just makes me realize that i’ve been beating myself up for far too long

making this thread bc i’m sobbing over how i ended my recent entry with “i deserve to love myself the way i love others” and i think everyone who struggles with self worth deserves to hear that
