Told my parents about a new hobby I was starting to which my mother replied โoh please, youโre gonna quit it like you do everything else.โ When I tell you I slowly rotated to her and said โwhat is a hobby or project that you started and finished?โ The silence was so loud.

a tough pill to swallow is that people will hurt you. dehumanize you in so many ways and not feel badly about it. they wonโt feel a thing actually. theyโll move on with their day, their week, their life, happy as ever but there you are, crushed. loss of appetite. loss of sleep.
