what’s been making life feel a little heavier for you lately? / sometimes just saying it, even to strangers, makes it feel a little less heavy. sometimes you realise other people have been carrying the same thing too, and for a second you don’t feel quite so alone in it.
Not the obvious stuff you’d just say normally
but like… the things you keep in your head
the thoughts that stay when everything gets quiet
the feelings you just brush off and move on from
the small or big things that have just been sitting there making everything feel a bit more… heavy
you don’t have to explain it perfectly or make it sound nice
just say it how it is
and please don’t judge /invalidate / or criticise anyone. this is supposed to be a safe place.
I have like really big dreams. I want to do EVERYTHING in life and in turn I end up doing nothing. Being a perfectionist is a curse in itself. I KNOW I have to study, I even like studying, I love learning, but I'm so addicted to my phone atp i just cannot focus on a thing. Sometimes I jus think I've wasted like, years of my life jus scrolling. And after so much planning, and not executing anything, I've jus stopped trusting myself to do anything.

That doing everything alone is really, really, really f****** exhausting. I have to deal with all the financial and mental load of my own life and I don’t want to.

That no matter how much effort I put in my job, it may never be enough to help my family. Sure, the economy sucks but some people may just be luckier

I had an offer accepted on a house the first week of March. Soon to be completing and exchanging contracts. It feels silly, but every single night since viewing that house I've had dreams about it. Ridiculously weird dreams. Like I'm naked and acting like a 1950s trad wife and I'm smiling to the high heavens. In waking life I find trad wives annoying and not me at all. I can't focus with the radio silence at the moment. I just want the solicitor to reply or something. I'm on edge. I've been keeping a diary since 2000 and in 2005 my mom's friend gave me a stack of magazines for my birthday. In one of the editions I noted the exact house I'm buying. It's absolutely freaky. It's like my mom's dead friend is watching over me or something. I don't think anyone understands how much this house means to me.
