18th April 2024

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to think about you this often. I have learned not to act on these thoughts, though every time you fall asleep next to me I want to shake you awake and let them spill out of me and all over your warm chest. But am I allowed to think of you this often? And do you think of me this often? You mentioned you'd laid in bed and held another girl for three days straight once and I felt like I was going to throw up. I can count all the people I've held on one hand - one of them being you. The more I want to talk to you and the more I want to see you, the more disgusted I am with myself. The ache is a deterrent - I look everywhere for things to dislike about you. I undermine and criticise everything you say and every act of kindness because I search for any and every reason not to trust you. you've done this with other girls, I wait long and hard and lonely seasons for my next human fix. I wait desperately and I tend to the gaping hold in my chest as I wait. have you come to fill me back up again - to make me whole? I waited for you. you didn't wait for me. you reached out and grabbed onto anything that would fill the void. you're not like me. I view your meagre attempts to escape yourself as desperation. you're manipulative and you're going to leave me more broken than you found me. But you hold me very tightly and you kiss me when I'm sick. You spent an hour making me dinner last week and it tasted like home. I search for your scent every time I leave the house and I fill up your water bottle every time I leave yours but I'm not sure if you've noticed yet. Please leave now before you become disgusted by me too.

real 'glow up' advice i wish i had

Imagine getting to the point in life where YOU are your own vision board; where you are that girl who has the life that you want, and you don't have to seek it out through other people. That should be the ultimate goal.

Here are subtle things that you should be doing to channel your ideal person and improve yourself for the better FROM THE INSIDE

take care of your hygiene: brush your teeth every day, wash your face with soap, wash your hair, take meaningful showers

be kind to yourself: speak nicely to yourself, treat yourself every now and then, love yourself exactly the way you came

make the effort: do your hair and wear something cute, even if you're only going to the supermarket. I bet your ideal self looks stunning wherever she goes, so make that effort if you really want to become her

move your body: dance to some music for just 5 minutes, take a walk, get off the bus a (reasonable) few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way

romanticise the hell out of your life: wear those bows, create that vision board, play that aesthetic background music even if you're just washing the dishes, wear that outfit!!!!!

admire yourself: look at yourself in the mirror and remember what you look like, take a million selfies to look back and smile at, give yourself a compliment every time you pass your reflection

get creative: if you want cute decor, make it! if you want cute clothes, find some easy DIYs!

focus on what you can control: if you cannot change the situation, let it resolve itself. don't waste your precious time obsessing over something you cannot change

get to know yourself (again): rediscover your hobbies, try new activities, learn to appreciate your solitude, get out of your shell

I really wish I was part of a community like this when I was going through a really insecure and lonely phase of my life.

Instead of deciding to wake up a 3am every day from now on, and trying to reach 20k steps every day, start small and walk your way up to greatness!

P.S. please remember that everyone's practice is their own and you should do what feels right to you while respecting that other people have their own beliefs (as long as they're not hateful).

15th April 2024

I used to come home from work sweating and hungry to sit in bed and smoke for hours. I wouldn't eat because I still believed someone would love my mouldering body more that way. More than anything I was hungry for you. You used to get upset that I'd talk so desperately about him but I needed something to detract from you. I needed some conduit for the ache I felt for you. I sat in wait for every response and I squeezed every possible meaning from even the smallest of words. Nothing you'd say was ever enough and all the nights I was crushed under it all I'd hope you'd wake up and come save me. In retrospect, I thought of you more as some great omniscient being or angel who'd come to plaster my shaking pieces back together than as a living creature. Sweet angel, you were broken too and all I could think of was how you would save me. I take fragile things and crush them in my weak palms until they shatter and lacerate me in the process. I used you to maim myself over and over again until my hands were too mangled to hold or pick you up anymore.

You used to shake me awake from nightmares of you dying. I watched your sweet soft body crack and break and pieces of me would fall away with it. Do you remember when we'd lay awake before bed and listen to the radio? Occasionally, moments with you overwhelmed me so strongly with contentment that I felt myself leave my corporeal form and sit somewhere soft and quiet in the metaphysical with you.
