Undone
Dear friend
It's getting bad again, and I genuinely don't know if I can keep doing this. I thought I had it all figured out, and I was ready to change my life. That is, after all, why I went back to uni.
Erasure
Dear friend
I am not worthy. That's what life is trying to teach me, isn't it? I can't see any other conclusion. Any time I get close to someone, I fuck it up. It happens time and time again, and at this point I guess I've learned my lesson.
What remains
Dear friend
This post is not meant to name or ostracise you. Rather the opposite.
This is fine
Dear friend
I'm sorry I haven't written to you in a while. I would be lying if I said things were okay. Because honestly? They aren't.
Neglect
Dear friend
Happy new year.
I've been thinking about how overbearing I became to my friends who matter most. How I kept seeking validation, how I kept asking them to soothe me and ground me because I - somehow - failed to self-soothe.
