already commented on another one of your posts about how much i love your work (sorry if that was creepy btw) but i keep coming back to this, it’s so cathartic to read. i hope you’re in a better place now than you were upon writing this!

you are effortlessly poetic, my god. it really feels like you pulled some of these straight from my heartstrings. my favorites were:

"the urge to relapse into dangerous thoughts, so you draw lines on your arms with a red pen, because God knows, you’ll be called attention-seeking and narcissistic again"

"random parents trusting me enough to have their kids sit beside me on the bus"

"the soft smiles of acknowledgement that strangers give you when you do something courteous"

"realizing my heartbeat is slowing after an episode"

i hope you're doing well, rach, this means everything to me. ♡
