to do.
i have all these things i want to do and should do, but i can’t start and finish any of them.
mend my jeans. read a fucking book. read a good fucking book. read a book that will make me feel better about life. remind myself how to knit. knit something. finish teaching myself to crochet. crochet something great. start that diet. stop eating so much. buy that bike. exercise. eat smoothies all...

Why is it so easy for me to get sad and so hard to get happy?

INSECURITY.
about everything Me.
i need to know that without a reasonable doubt, i am the one. that i have always been the one. that i will be the one.
can you do that for me?
no more of this going back and forth, at least maybe just from me.
i can’t handle your past. i just need to be your present and your future.

where did my self-esteem go? where did i go? when did i cease to be the strong, intelligent, capable person i used to be? how did i become this person i don’t like, and because of that, no one likes?

i do not want to be me or to exist.

assertiveness.
i need to work for me.
do me.
be assertive and go after what i want. say what i want. say what i need.
don’t let others boss me around and dictate my every action.
i am me. i was me first. not anyone else’s.
be freaking assertive, amanda. it’s your life.
