“Some days hurt more than others. Some days I strive to ignore the voices in my head telling me that ill never be good enough. Some days I lay on my bed with tears streaming down my face. Life is just a long story, and your goal is to make that story worth reading. Though it might be hard, so you try looking at or reading someone else's story to improve yours, but in the end doing that isn't worth it cause it makes you become less yourself. Some days being me doesn't seem like its worth it cause when I'm being myself I just get judged for it. People laugh, criticize, and hate. People say being you is the best thing you can ever do. Then they see the real you and say you're a joke. How can I live like this..? Ignoring them is not as easily done as said. Some days I fight the voices in my head, telling me ill never be good enough, other days I dont have the motivation nor the strength to,so I listen to them and all the harsh things they say”
