     It feels like I aged a hundred years since my Mom died.

   Constantly feeling like everyone would judge me if I acted my age and like everyone was in a hurry for me to age and start taking care of them and everyone else.

    I couldn't breathe and I hated it.

    I still can't breathe presently and I still hate it.

   I hate the laughable character I have embodied.   

  I hate the excessive pressure I put on myself.

  I hate the fact that I can't just be myself because I care too much for people's feelings .
  
  I hate the fact that I feel unjustly indebted to the world.
 
I hate breathing on most days.
 

I feel unworthy of rest and when I finally get to resting I feel the rest of the world feels I'm unworthy of it.
 
   Dare I say, I may hate myself.
