In your eyes, I might look stupid. For trying and crying. For being dramatic about little things. But I guess that's how my brain used to work. Fearing the worst and not being able to save myself. Not being able to think clearly and feeling stuck in emotions.

In my eyes, I see growth because I'm not as anxious as I used to be. I learned to let things be as they are. Finding some balance and knowing that emotions fade over time. Everything changes and life goes on. It's all about perspective, really. I can't lie and deny whatever I feel or truly want, but I can set boundaries and adapt to whatever needs to happen. I know I can walk away whenever I have to. But for now, I'll stay in some way. In a way where I don't feel like I'm trapped in illusions.
