25th February 2022.

TW: war talk

This war going on with Russia and Ukraine is kinda scaring me, because if it gets to the point where Ukraine will be needing help from other countries, including Croatia then Russia is going to attack us too and I won't like thay. Hell I probably wouldn't even survive. I feel so sorry for people in Ukraine. This shit that's happening to them right now is terrifying to just watch from TV, I can't even imagine how it must feel to be there, to watch people you live die in front of you and knowing that you can't do anything to save them now. It must be THE WORST feeling ever. I heard from my mom that 14yr old girl was killed by Russia' army while she was riding her bike. I can't even imagine how i would feel finding someone I love dead on their bike in the street, I'd probably start crying, throwing up, screaming from sadness even if I didn't know person. How must it feel to her family, friends, close ones? I don't understand why must they hurt and kill innocent people, like what's the point? You don't get anything from killing those people except leaving their close ones sad and traumatised and other innocent people living in fear they might be next. So many people are going to be traumatised by this war, there already are I'm sure little kids who can't stop ahaking nor crying from fear of everything they saw or heard. Why can't there be any less-aggressive way to Putin to get things he wants. I'm scared because what if this thing happens in Croatia too. So many people I love would die, I myself would probably die too. How'd people feel if i died? I don't know, only thing I know is that I don't want to die this was nor do I want anyone I live being dead after this war happening ends. I just want this to end, like now.

TW: mention of self hate, suicidal thoughts

Today my mom woke me up because from today to 14th March she has free days. God please save me. I went to second hand shop with my grandma and mom, i bought myself brown jeans, beige pants and cool brown jumper. I feel like my relationship with mom is going more and more back to what it was before, I'm trying my best for it to not be that way again but I'm just so tired of everything. Don't get me wrong I'm happy and enjoying my life really, I'm going out everyday, have good relationships with mom and brother, everything is so much better. But maybe that's what's exhausting me so much. I'm exhausted from trying so hard to enjoy. But it's okay at least I don't want to kill myself anymore. Today afternoon I went to city with Lara. Both of us obviously didn't bring money so we just walked. We were in bookstore, and gosh why do I always forget money when I go to bookstore? We also went to crystals shop and then we walked home and talked. I really like Lara, she's one of best people I know, she's gorgeous on inside, she cares about people and she makes you feel safe and loved, she makes you feel like you're worth something good and I'm so thankful for that, she's funny, brave, not ashamed, smart, clever, loyal (she likes to gossip tho) and basically everything you need to make a good friend, she's also really pretty on outside, her eyes are so fricking beautiful and her smile is the one that makes you happy when you're sad. I just wish she saw herself taht way to, it breaks me to see her hating herself after hee being one of the reasons I stopped hating myself. I try to be here for her and show her she's worth everything but I've never been good at showing my emotions and I'm extremely sorry about that now.

TW: talk about personality (idk may be triggering)

Today while walking I thought about how people in books, shows, fanficions... who have personality like me are considered crazy, unrelatable and unrealistic. I tend to lie about things that should not be lied about, like in no-need-to-lie-about-that lies way. I tend to lie about things to amke myself cooler, funnier, more noticeable or just for the sake of lying. I don't know why I do that and I've been trying to stop but I feel like noone will love me if I don't lie, like I'm not going to be anything special in anyone's life, just a phase. I also tend to jump from one thing to another very often, it's liek my mind is circus, nothing here is under control. I don't know how to explain it but I also need people to be calm with me all the time because whenever someone yells at me, even just a little, I'll start thinking that they don't like, accept or need me, like they've been nice to me all this time just out of pure pity. I don't know why it's liek that, I never did and I want to find out, maybe then it'll stop being that way. Who knows?

TW: mention of ED

On evening I showered, watched news with mom, ate sandwich (I'm overcoming my ED, I'm so proud) and then later ate strawberries with my brother. I watched s2 e7 of euphoria and s3 e2, e3, e4 of Anne with an E today and read 49th chapter of Choices. I wish I had more time for myself but I can only watch or read stuff I wnat over night so it's kind of hard to have that much time and not get depressed again.

Here's the photo of me and my friend from today i drew because I was bored and why not.

Sincerely Toni.

P. S. - I'm really sorry about all the spelling and grammar mistakes but English is not my first language and I'm too lazy to check on spelling mistakes.
