healing involves a lot more grieving than you’d expect. progress hurts. you’re moving on from things that happened but also things you wished would happen and never did. mourning does not mean you are not getting better.

i think it’s really weird that i have this thing where i force myself to care but like my thing is that i also don’t really care cause the thing is that my emotions are nothing but a performance and i love performing but it’s exhausting and i want to be cared for and i hate being cared about but will someone please care about me so maybe i can learn to genuinely care about them i always feel so shallow
