I& #39;m so exhausted.
Back to the looming dread of hating myself again for the first time in years.
I& #39;ve seen some nasty shit, I& #39;ve done some nasty shit, but apparently arguing whether an artist is a pedo or not is the straw that breaks the camel& #39;s back.
I know not everyone will question everything about themselves constantly. Most probably not with the frequency I do, anyway.
The lines I took so long to draw suddenly get smudged and I suddenly find myself thinking if this is all worth it.
That my scrutiny ruins everything. That I take everything too personally. That I police too hard and often. I& #39;m so tired and I wonder if I& #39;m just a big selfish baby who needs to have their way. I really do try to see things another way. Times I can& #39;t reach info that allows me to.
And then the times I hear and fail to listen. The times I either process the gravity too much or not at all and fail my friends. That any sort of distancing themselves from me utterly destroys me so easily.
I feel so confused, and the uncertainty terrifies me to my core.
Hearing how much I mean to someone, and that they cherish myself and the kindness I& #39;ve extended, and then turn around and fail to do the same for a larger margin of people I want to hold closer. I can& #39;t read minds. I put my foot in my mouth so much. I won& #39;t know what& #39;s best.
These past few months I& #39;ve felt more alone than ever. I& #39;ve made attempts to reach out and better myself again, and I can never pull myself back up again unless someone else instills a powerful sense of obligation back up in me.
But as much as I wish, no one will do it for me.
I know it& #39;s possible to be and feel good enough for the ones I care about. I can& #39;t be good enough for everyone, but I want to be good enough for more than just a few.
To those who& #39;ve extended their love in return, I& #39;m not in a state I can do the same right now.
This isn& #39;t anyone& #39;s fault, and I can& #39;t force anyone to change things they feel strongly about. I want to ask, can you be so sure about everything?
Reasons that support each other into an endless loop. Even when I show my solidarity for the oppressed, I still question it.
I still question something I do that is nothing but objectively good while polishing up how I can do it better than before for myself. I mention that loop of reason, but I don& #39;t have closed loops myself. I have to absolutely pick apart every detail and its meaning.
Like I haven& #39;t tried different ways of looking at everything. I can& #39;t suddenly explain every single impressionable memory and how it shaped me all these years. I wish I had more control about which of those experiences I retain. I get overzealous to such a fault.
It& #39;s gotten myself and everyone around me hurt so many times before. To criticize and pick apart everything presented before me, sometimes too quickly, sometimes long after I& #39;ve reached the end of the rabbit hole.
The times any light makes it look the same to me.
And then the melodramatic and meticulous detail I use for something so simple because I genuinely have no idea how to cut all the fluff out and speak plainly like how I want others to speak to me.
God, this thread& #39;s a mess. I wish I could just get a drink, but I banned those from the house.
I don& #39;t really have anything to soften the blow when these moods happen. My questions have questions within questions and I can never get a straight answer from the source.
