Oh yes. Go back to 2009 and tell me that I’d be like that – literally, fucked up, with two long distance relationships on my back, without friends, messed up with school…I’d not believe and you’d see little, smiling kid.
If you told me I’d be feeling like this right now a few months ago I would’ve thought you were kidding. Not long ago I had all but given up and wanted to die. Now I’m ridiculously happy.
Things can get better. For me the biggest factor was getting involved with some student organisations. The team spirit is awesome! And it’s great to contribute and feel needed. There are so many new people to meet this way.
Also finally decided to give up on a dead-end relationship for good. Since then I’ve felt a huge sigh of relief. I can be me again! I don’t have to give a shit what that person thinks! It’s insane what an effect something like that can have.
Feeling this happy after everything is so surreal that it makes me even happier! I hope you get to feel that too.
I’d lie to myself and say that things get better, because i truly wish they had…
Might work, for awhile atleast, placebo effect. That, or I might create a parabola, and by the time the old me catches up to the point HE has to say how I’m doing years later that he may hate me for finding out i lied to him, or maybe accept it, just for caring about myself enough to really lie to myself…I dunno…
I’m sure plenty of people lie to themselves anyways…It’s the easiest way to cope with things. What do you say to suicidal people? “it gets better”? psh…yeah it gets better alright >->
I don’t particularly trust myself right now anyways, so anything i say to my former self might not make much of a difference 😛
Through the time you can clearly see, if things are going to get better or not. That’s because people just don’t change that much at once. The hardest part is to recognise this and try to move on working on your life step by step or be honest and finally turn off the lights…
