Sometimes we realize that we’ve been the toxic one in someone’s story.
It’s important to not get stuck on wishing you could change it, because you can’t. What you can do is do better in the future, and learn from your mistakes.
It’s also important to acknowledge that the person you were toxic to doesn’t owe you anything. Not forgiveness or even a chance to be heard out. But this doesn’t mean you deserve to punish yourself forever.
You’re allowed to forgive yourself. You’re allowed to move on.
I’m jealous of those who can function like a normal human being. They don’t have anxiety holding them back from everything, they don’t struggle to get out of bed or have to put on an act that everything is fine when its not. They don’t struggle to hold friendships and relationships… they don’t feel sad for no fucking reason everyday. Those that can hold jobs and work towards their dreams, the ones who have self esteem and see the beauty in themselves. Those that know what its like to feel safe and secure, not insecure and fearful of it all.
tumblr really has gone from being an open pvp zone to being my chill little retreat from other social media sites. nobody is trying to hock NFTs. i’m not forced to hear about joe rogan. i mean i know statistically people like this and things that are even worse also exist on tumblr but it’s out of sight out of mind. they aren’t being forced into my view by an algorithm. it’s all just among us babies
