about
fun fact: i went off script here, and it was so so worth it! letting emotion shine was the perfect touch. :')
lyrics
okay! so i really just wanted to talk about
a lot of interesting things that have been going on recently
i feel more content than ive ever been
i have some more empathy, i have some more friends
im learning how to set boundaries
blockin people off, blockin toxicity
and finally, im all around
and finally, i feel mentally sound, right now
and- you know- god damn, do i feel pretty!
and im not even just sayin that to avoid someone yellin at me
and i mean that in a good way
how sometimes your friends are lookin out for you
and they really stop at nothin to make sure that you feel content in your own skin
and even moreso than that, to make sure that everythings okay within
and, i havent had any truly- you know- icky thoughts in years
and the fact im still arounds got me startin up in tears
and there were times when i was younger
and i know im not alone-
when i felt like i would not live past age x
and i assure you, you are not alone
sometimes the hardest places to imagine being are where you feel at home
cause- you know- i was able to do it!
and, holy fuck, i know youre capable too
and sometimes, one pep ta- talks not enough, i understand
but so many people would do it for you
and so many who recognize your worth
and your potential
just the way that others were able to do for me
and they allowed me to slowly get healthier where i could help others who were hurting, you know?
and its like-
its not in that way where youre havin to grow up
always havin to help others, despite bein younger- i remember!
you feel obligated to always be better!
but when you let your walls down
and let others help you out
you can improve so much faster
than if you had tried to figure it out on- on your own, y'know?
and there were times when it wasnt always this right
i had papers piled up, memories that i didnt need physically
and there were times when i feel alright
life felt surreal, but only so, cause it felt so, perfect, y'know?
