soo this was kinda my mental state last night....and every night before that, but- I've had some long talks today with myself and I've come to the conclusion that I'll never be perfect, I'll never be the person my parents, friends, and relatives want me to be. and I'm kinda okay with that.
I can't be perfect. I can't have perfect grades, looks, or a perfect personality. because those things don't exist. but I can't be what everyone else wants me to be.

1 year agonobody is "perfect", and nobody ever will be. I've finally come to terms with that after 5+ years of trying to fit in and be "perfect" for everybody. this is who I am, and I'm not sorry.
I hope you all will realize is too, and stop trying to be someone you're not. you are you, and that's the best thing you can be. π

1 year agoThatβs great! Iβm so happy for you that youβre able to accept yourself. Honestly the best thing that helps depression (at least for me) is to stare at myself in the mirror and address myself by my name. Honestly when I here my name I realize that I kind of forgot it. Then I tell myself everything thatβs happening and then basically argue with myself for a while. I know that sounds really weird but it really helps me come to terms with myself. You should try it!

that's a really good mechanism! I'll have to try that sometime, I've learned to accept myself but I still have off days. but I feel like everyone does so that helps :)

1 year ago:0 a few days ago I was having a very similar realization and like Iβm still probably gonna unintentionally worry about being perfect but I know I shouldnβt also Iβd been kinda writers and artists blocked and having the conversation and stuff with myself actually inspired both a drawing (I like it I guess) and a poem that Iβm actually really proud of!

that's great, I'm glad you had that realization aswell!! ππ
yea, we'll probably still worry occasionally but that's just life :)
dudeee, yes the writers block is so true. I have so many ideas for stories but as soon as I sit down to write...mind goes blank and can't focus π€¦ββοΈ
Recolorist
1 year agoYesss, I mean thereβs still other unidentifiable things messing up my mental state rn- but at least ones ok now
Yep, a βsuperβ fun part lol
Literallyyyyy! It drives me crazzyyy! But like I wrote the whole poemβ¨π
and itβs actually pretty good if I do say so mahself but like as soon as I put the pencil down my brain went blank and I havenβt named it yet π

1 year agoβWhy canβt you just be real?β
βWhy do you always hide what you feel?β
βAre you done playing masquerade yet?β
βYou know weβre all afraid yeah?β
βWhy are you always pretending?β
This actβ¦itβs never ending
And god, Iβm so tired
But expectations have me wired
It shouldnβt be this hard, for me to speak with honesty
But sometime the truth, it seems, just happens to get lost in me
And the realities, they frighten me
So Iβm faking it constantly (limit)
Recolorist
1 year agoYeah I just play the part of who I think that you want me to be
You say βjust be yourselfβ
See, I donβt know that oneβ¦can I try someone else?
You say βyouβre better then thatβ
But I donβt believe that thatβs a fact
Iβve got no faith in who I am
And I donβt really have a plan
Iβm just trying to fill the shadows I can see
That were cast by an imaginary βperfectβ me
But that version will never truly exist
So why does it get to me like this? (Limit)
Recolorist
1 year agoYou tell me perfect isnβt real
That whatβs real is how I feel
So no more masquerade
Cause itβs ok to feel afraid

1 year agoThat was a lot more to type then I thought- I really hope rc doesnβt freak out about it π

yeah, I also have anxiety. I'm working on overcoming my depression though. I'm trying to get my parents to let me get tested for ADHD, I have like 97% of the symptoms I've read about.
