it makes things so much easier? to just be myself??? I LOVE BEING A REAL PERSON! i am so much more okay with people not liking me for my innate being than not liking the fake persona i have created. a fake personality is somewhat like a piece of art. it hurts when someone criticizes your child. your creation. you can hurt me tho! it’s alright something to unpack in the future perhaps.. perfectly imperfect :)

Mintpp the push towards a herd mentality remains so strong that i wonder if this is the reason that we are all being navigated so heavily through different trends each month/week/day in order to feel more uneasy with our individual personalities existing as is, without judgement

i struggle with this in my day to day life. i mostly exist feeling the world around me through a translucent shelter. this feeling is another me, in a way. they seek to deflect reality from me to some degree, for my own sake. they always know what they should say and when they should say it. they know when silence is appropriate. but, they can only speak for me. and i for them. we are one, but we’ve grown used to operating as a pair all too well. i allow them to guide me through 80% of my life because operating Me is exhausting. mfw im forced to exist in present day america as someone who is probably autistic, probably a trans girl, and probably won’t be certain of either for years to come dadadadada whatever u get it. all that to say this is me practicing being radically honest. so fuck what y’all think (<3) bc i’m real. which brings me to my final point. regardless of whether u want to be me (or anyone else), you can’t. you’re you. and you’re just as real, so fuck what i think (<3). -fae out 🖕💞 ~/~ number of times i hit backspace :3000

i feel like so many people are so insecure or afraid of what others think of them that they’re afraid to be genuine. it’s easier to be nonchalant because then no one can really judge who you ARE. but like. what’s the point of cultivating relationships if they’re only wanting to spend time with your self crafted persona. if we’re true to ourselves the right people will be attracted to that light :)

been thinking a lot about self-awareness lately and what makes me “me.” I’m always trying to figure out how to transform my inner critic to real personal growth without shame. being honest and not editing myself to any given room was one of the first things I began to tackle in therapy. existing among other humans is an ongoing give and take, and Being Who You Are without apology while treating others with respect is really all you need to do in this life. learning how to be kind and true, and finding the good amongst so much bad and then sharing it with others makes the world go ‘round

listen, middle school sucks. i agree. BUT! hear me out!! teaching middle schoolers is a genuinely entertaining career. i think they get such a bad rap because no one really has fond memories of being 13, which makes sense!! going from child to teen and not even really being a teen yet is difficult and confusing. not fun! but they still have the most random childlike shenanigans that i love to be apart of. they are little humans who shock me with an f bomb every now and then but also make me origami and paper crowns, and it gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.
