i hate growing up in an age where it's normal to constantly put yourself down and make a joke out of it. anxiety is romanticized like it's somehow "cool" to struggle with a mental illness. if you don't hate yourself, it's unusual. they tell you to stop being so full of yourself. i'm really trying to love myself. i didn't know it would be this hard. my mind keeps insisting i'm not good enough for this world. so the only thing i can rely on is the hope of a brighter future away from the place i'm in now. far, far away.
