Man, I'm entirely in the wrong mood to post in this thread. Life is beautiful, but it is not beautiful for me today. But I know things will change and it's that hope for time and growth that keeps moving forward as best I can.
I think the support you have offered me despite the crap I've talked during hands down the hardest time of my life makes you one of the most irreplaceable and valuable people in this world
ive been really socially withdrawn recently because of both depression and being home for the summer away from my friends at college, so my insecurity/general confidence levels are really low.
but there's this one coworker i have that's my age that really enjoys hanging out with me. we always hang out and joke with each other during work, and today they told me they were bored without me, and she even jokingly said "dont go!" when the manager sent me home.
i don't know, it isn't much - but i really needed that reminder that people actually do enjoy talking to me and hanging out with me.
today i experienced this sudden onslaught of compliments from people, mostly about my photography and i feel lighter than a feather. i'm so grateful to be alive and be exactly who i am doing exactly what i do. what an absolute gift to be me.
