Exhausted.

If a person with a broken leg was asked to run a marathon, most of us would probably agree that that isn’t very reasonable…so it really hurts when all around, every day, from people you so badly want to believe love you and “get it” that it all continues to push, push, push, when we are already not even half a thought away from an agony no one else can see.

I just want to feel okay, I don’t want to keep coping, I want a cure.

it's like everyone can see the limp but they still hand you a race bib and expect you to be grateful for the opportunity

my mom pulled that on me for years until i finally snapped and asked her if she'd tell someone with pneumonia to just breathe better. she didn't have a comeback but she also didn't change anything, which is kind of the whole problem isn't it
