Seriously no one told me that moving out was genuinely gonna make everything better. It's made a lot of things worse, too, but ultimately, I'm gonna be ok. And I know that yeah people actually did tell me that, but no one was able to explain it in a way I ever would have believed, and I am so fucking brainwashed I probably wouldn't have trusted anyone enough to ever listen. But yeah. If you're younger and waiting or thinking you may just decide to give up, there's no shame in quitting. But there's so much waiting for you if you can just keep giving yourself a chance. You're not living for anyone else, you're doing it for you. Even if you think you don't deserve it, the person you were before you thought that does, and you haven't met the person you could become. You don't know what they're deserving of. What YOU'RE deserving of. Give yourself a chance. I love you.
