What remains

Dear friend

This post is not meant to name or ostracise you. Rather the opposite.

This is fine

Dear friend

I'm sorry I haven't written to you in a while. I would be lying if I said things were okay. Because honestly? They aren't.

Neglect

Dear friend

Happy new year.

I've been thinking about how overbearing I became to my friends who matter most. How I kept seeking validation, how I kept asking them to soothe me and ground me because I - somehow - failed to self-soothe.

What's my motivation?

Dear friend

Motivation for change is a really difficult topic. I, myself, struggle to find a realistic balance between wanting to grow for myself, and wanting to grow for other people.

Acceptance

Dear friend

Last night, something finally clicked that had never clicked before. I do not have to be ‘the depressed one’, I get it now.
