goldilocks

by @ShatteredSculpture

there's a reason goldilocks and the three bears is just a fairy tale finding a perfect medium is less achievable than human-like bears at least for me i've always been too much in every single way i take up too much space too much time too much effort too much energy more than i was ever worth and it makes me the villain in my friend's lives never the star or even the lovable side character but instead the darkness creeping in the conflict the challenge to be overcome my "too much" becomes their character development as they get cut by my scattered shards my sharp edges but villains in fairy tales don't usually end up being redeemed do they? they end up cut open or shoved in the oven dead defeated and everyone is happier for it

I wasn't really sure where I was going with this when it started, so it's kind of all over the place, sorry...
