I need to stop comparing myself to other people

I am not terrible and a failure

I am kind and curious about the world and that is enough.

But I am a mess this morning and that's okay too.

This is one of two days I get off of work (but I still work on this day too... But later).

It's time for a nap

You've been through a lot and that just tanks your self-esteem. If you were to meet someone just like you, you'd be delighted to have met such a fascinating, wonderful person damnit.

@CountScrofula I think so much feeling unwanted and displaced in childhood messed me up quite a bit and set me up for feeling like an outsider always.

But I am really going to work on it, because sometimes I am happy for days and days. And it's worth it to feel like that. Today I don't want to be here anymore but I know it will pass

Thank you 💙
