In just about exactly two weeks, I'm leaving SW for what I hope to be good

It's been a long ride tbh :v
A busy one

And lately, I've been even extra busy. I am considering just going ham with my last week to post the most sincere and deepest things when I finally make the time or perhaps I simply won't
I dunno

But if you got any questions, lemme know ,_,
I am always down for conversations and I consider this place a part of my history and growth. It used to be my little safe space from a brutal and cold world. Nowadays, it's just a place I come back to when I get time after the world drowns me

I started off a youngin here who was a noob in school
And here I am today finally leaving for life

How do you train your brain to be off the internet? I wish to leave too as the mere presence of many users annoys me and I realise I don’t wish to use the internet

@SW-User it's hard

I come here for an escape at times

But it came with many tears and forcing myself to be alone with my thoughts. It will also require mental, emotional support

We believe in many things internally and the second we're alone with our insecurities, all I know is that SW became a mask for me

But I guess part of training is to accept who I am and my crappy past and current outlooks then work to rewire it all

Sounds like a lot but this is how I viewed my stay here

Other times, I'd probably be bored. But perhaps learning to enjoy your own company by slowly looking at that person in the mirror you were taught to hate

Parents, peers, teachers, society, idgaf. I know we've been demoralized and feel insignificant at times

Accept it 🙂
Not the insignificance, but the fact that it's how you feel
Then stand back up snd get your get back

Cuz for every jab thrown at you, you gotta unleash two of your own

(A lesson from having been beat down all my life)

I still don't get all of it. Byt one half is you can do it and the other is hearing it from someone you love :)
