I’ve spent so many years trying to numb the pain that came with self-awareness. Recognizing what I really am destroyed me, and I can’t see anyway back from that. But I also can’t bring myself to end it. And I can’t stand this cage I’ve built for myself. I want to be invested in life again. To really feel, rather than constantly managing and denying feelings. But the feeling often seems unbearable.
I don’t want to lie to myself anymore. To hide the truth behind rationalization and reason. I don’t want to be this detached zombie. But I can’t stand the truth. The truth makes me want to erase myself from existence. It sucks me into an endless pit of despair. I have to find some way to live with what I am, and what I’ve done. To really live, authentically. No more pretending, or constantly dulling the pain.

what have you done?
Whats the truth? And why are you stopping yourself from having feelings?
Can’t go into it. I numb the feelings because I don’t know how to live with them.
I think there’s not enough self awareness in this world, but in some cases, it’s a double edged sword.
At least you aren’t numbing the pain with botox
Some go so crazy, every time they dive, their tits hit the water like beach balls – *PAHP*

My truth: walking forward. Nothing gets better, it just gwyd different. Sometimes it is all in the framing.
