I kinda just don't want to do this anymore

even though that's a sucky thing to say

~

even though I know I'd be missed

I'd still rather not do this

~

I guess that's kind of just it though, right?

we're not supposed to live this life for ourselves

~

even though the rest of the world

tries to tell us living for anyone else

~

is wrong

    As someone who has been guilty for living mostly for others, I get it, especially when others start calling you selfish for doing even a little something for yourself. I hope things get better soon. (And your handwriting is so pretty!)

  • We all feel this at times, I am terrible for it, we need isolation at times but we also need company at other times. I hope you are ok, and you know where I am if you want to talk. Sending hugs and comfort 💗

    Hope you're okay, Belle. We should live for ourselves but with others in mind. That's how I view it. We all need to do things that please us but that doesn't mean being selfish or disregarding others. Pleasure can be had in being there for others if only more would realise it.

    The ending just made the perfect sense! Loved itt ❤🙌

  • Omggg, you're right! They say we should only live for ourselves and not others. But when we say we don't wanna live anymore, then our life is suddenly about others. Make it make sense. Anyway, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way 🥺 Is there anything that I could do? Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
