Throughout the years of existing a very visible life, where everyone is looking at you and what you do, I've realized how difficult it is to adjust to what society thinks "perfect" is. Here are a few things I experienced in school on a daily basis.
"She has straightened her hair today, must be for that guy." "She got an B on her chemistry test, I bet she's competing with that other girl in the class." "Her boyfriend is the captain of the basketball team, must be dating him for attention." "I saw her crying in the bathroom the other day, bet her boyfriend cheated on her."
The fact everyone knew what was happening in my life, but still never cared enough to ask whether I was okay or not, is the harsh reality of how society works, and I had to learn it the harder way.
The way media glorifies being "popular" is something I absolutely despise. I was always surrounded with fake friends and empty praises. No one actually gave a shit about me. I'll not lie and say I didn't enjoy it. I did, but when I got my first ever anxiety attack, it was in school and I was 13.That was when my mental health started to go downhill, and that made me realize how nobody fucking cares. I was never really a rude person, but all of this attention made me hate myself and question my existence on a regular basis. What is wrong with me? Why can't I be the girl I'm expected to be? These questions still haunt my thoughts.
That's why I highly relate with these beautiful words : took some time 'cause I ran out of energy, of being someone I heard I'm supposed to be.
