hope for water
Life has become increasingly fast. I finished my degree and time slowed for a minute, but of course, my anxiety heightened, and so it really didn't slow. It suspended, every once in a while, in moments of dissociation and derealization. Moments I wanted to tear my hair out, but couldn't move, and so the sensation formed as a stomach ache instead.

Are you an excuse generator?
Weak people are professional excuse generators. Yup. Somebody has to say it. It’s their go-to move whenever things get uncomfortable. Instead of tackling awkward convos or owning up to a mistake, these types of people whip out an excuse faster than you can ask ‘what happened?’ They create excuses to avoid responsibility.
