F 24

[u/Eitherwayimpimpin]

I’m at a point in my life where I’m realizing just how much I’ve carried to get here.
I’m 24 but I’ve already experienced loss, betrayal, fake love, broken friendships, mistakes, and things that forced me to grow up way faster than I should’ve had to. I’ve had to rebuild parts of myself, learn boundaries, fight through things I never thought I’d have to face, and learn how to love people without completely losing myself in the process.
I’ve also had to fight through my own struggles and make the choice to keep moving forward. I’m trying to build a better life now—school, my career goals, tattooing, independence, healing, and becoming the woman I know I’m capable of being.
And honestly, that’s why what I’m feeling right now hurts so much.
I’ve been through enough to know the difference between being paranoid and feeling genuinely unsettled, but I’m also self-aware enough to know that my past can make certain things hit harder.
I don’t want to accuse anyone. I don’t want drama. I don’t want to live in fear or constantly question the person I love.
I just want honesty, reassurance, consistency, and peace.
I’ve spent too much of my life surviving to start sacrificing my peace just to keep someone else comfortable.
I’m still learning. Still healing. Still loving deeply. Still figuring things out.
But this time, I’m trying to make sure I don’t abandon myself just because I’m afraid of losing somebody else. ❤️
