“Anonymous asked: hai. ok, so uhm, the other day, I was walking home and idk, something just snapped. I couldn't go back. it wasn't home anymore. so, I just walked for a while and when I eventually got home, I was numb. not like, literally. but I couldn't feel anymore. I still can't. and I ended up sitting on my couch looking at some random spot on my ceiling for six and a half hours. literally. at the time, it felt like an eternity and a second at the same time. sorry, I had to tell someone. I'm sorry. ok, bye x hai lovely. Ive felt this before. actually, now that its holiday, ive been feeling that literally everyday. I just want you ti know that the numbness does go away, eventually. it may come back, but youll feel bouts of feeling, and even if the feeling isnt pleasant, it means youre alive, and thats beautiful. when you feel numb like that, it is your bodys way dealing. all you need to do it give it time. time is tricky, I know, but itll be worth it. i just want you to know that its normal, and youll be okay. I know how you feel, so youre definitely not alone. try to do some constructive things in your life, even if it starts feeling pointless. youll be okay.”
