coming to terms a little bit with the fact that i rarely do anything for other people, good and bad sides. i don’t really care what other people think of me and i don’t need validation on the good side. on the bad side i usually help other people because i wouldn’t respect myself if i didn’t. it feels wrong and self interested but maybe that’s an impossible standard. who knows?

this applies in multiple ways. for one there is nobody in your life who will have your best interests in mind as much as yourself. you may have amazing friends looking out for you but only you can make active decisions to improve your life in positive ways. even if you don’t feel great about yourself now, you should strive to care about yourself to the point you can make those decisions, because nobody else can make them for you.
for two as much as your mind might be telling you otherwise, nobody cares about what you’re wearing or how you‘re doing things or what you think. be unapologetically yourself. if other people bring up their issues with it in a hateful way, they are just projecting their own insecurities onto you.
i disagree with plenty of things people do or say but i can ultimately respect the fact they are willing to life their life the way they want. i don’t know their whole life story and i will never assume i do. for all i know, the things they have experienced in their life may have rationally led them to a completely different place than i am in now. and nobody can rightfully blame them for that.

You think youre doing it to be considerate, to not be offensive— but you might not be as good at guessing what people need as you think. If someone wants something, they’ll tell you. It’s ok to live life for yourself sometimes!!

i love being alone. i know who i am when i'm alone and i love myself when i'm alone. when i'm around people it's easy to forget and i get lost and aimless.
how do you share parts of yourself without feeling overexposed? even just sharing creative work makes me feel like it's not mine any more and makes me doubt the part of myself that went into making it. but i also feel so stagnant when i'm not putting anything out into the world. where is the balance? how do you deal with this?
