Tomorrow, tomorrow
5/13/2020 11:11 AM
Yesterday, I saw a picture of my ex - he's married to the girl he basically got with while the two of us were still together, and they're having a baby. Seeing that picture genuinely made me happy and relieved that I got out of that situation four years ago. 

I did have a brief, "wow, is he ready for that?" moment, just due to who he was as a person, but then I remembered- it's been fucking four years, and a lot happens. People go through shit in four years. People grow and change. I don't know if he has, but it would only make sense. 

It also made me think about how my life has literally not progressed in four years. I know some circumstances are beyond my control, but there's definitely shit I could have been doing, even despite the depression and situational circumstances. I feel like I finally realized or maybe even finally accepted the fact that part of the reason why my life hasn't .... moved? for four years is because I think for the past four years I have literally been procrastinating. "I'll do this tomorrow," "I'll do that tomorrow," "I'll be better tomorrow," "I'll BE tomorrow" but really all that has happened is that four years' worth of tomorrows and intentions have added up. ?

I do know this is not entirely true for all four years, but for most of it. I was making progress for a bit around the time I went to Canada two (?) years ago and that was such an uplifting, encouraging, and inspiring trip... but it seems to have all gone downhill from there lmfao

Anyway, yet again I sit here feeling as though I've wasted four years of my life but as they say... better late than never, yeah? Man I swear I have to restart my life every three-four years dude I don't know when I will finally get it all right ???

Sometimes the only thing we can do is give ourselves a pat on the back for sitting up, swinging our legs over, and umphing(sp?) ourselves out of bed. Give yourself 1,460 figurative pats. <3

It's okay. You didn't waste that time. Life is hard. It used to be tedious for me every single day. Well it still is but now my antidepressants make it so I don't want to die about it all the time. You did the best you could. I really believe that. Could things have gone better? Sure. But at the time you did what you did for a reason. You were feeling a type of way. 

Don't worry about that. Here we are. Today is another day. Don't beat yourself up. Among other reasons, you just deserve to treat yourself with kindness and compassion. You're valid. By virtue of your existence alone. American Capitalism is soul crushing. I literally want to do nothing all the time because it takes so much energy just to sustain my existence in this system. In the mean time I try my best to do good in this world because that means something to me. What means something to you? Doesn't matter if it sound unrealistic. What is it? I wanted to be a super hero. And now I mother fucking am. admittedly it was extremely hard fought but I found my vibe. Don't worry, take all the time you need to find yours. 

I know you're doing your best. Literally, I know for a fact that you are. Or perhaps I should say I'm 100% confident that you are.

I love love this entire reply (and thank you so much for it!!!) but my gosh "I literally want to do nothing all the time because it takes so much energy just to sustain my existence in this system" this is exactly it. 

I do feel good for the most part right now. I actually was feeling better prior to quarantine-times, and then I actually felt like i was thriving during quarantine times... which made me feel it was inappropriate timing to be like "wow I am doing SO WELL despite the world going to shit" but honestly I can't put my own emotional growth and healing on hold just because the world is dying. ?‍♀️ I have to try to keep myself alive too and I understand that. 

Thank you again for always having such perfect responses to my shit. I really do appreciate it!

"but honestly I can't put my own emotional growth and healing on hold just because the world is dying" That's an extreme mood. I really appreciate it. On the one hand it fills my heart with joy to know I helped, on the other it's a huge support to my ego ;3
