Cause I’m wearing Red, White and Blue :P
I’m done seeking validation from others.
Now I’m just annoyed/irritated as opposed to sad. Don’t mind me. I will feel a lot better if I get this out.
I am just flat out tired of this. I’m tired of constantly seeing myself through the eyes of someone else or looking to others for my good emotions/self-esteem.
I feel like this all stems from the constant feeling of not being good enough. This has always been a problem for me, and I have yet to overcome it. Since I am never good enough for myself, I always convince myself that I will never be good enough for others.
Excuse my language, but… why should I give a fuck what others think? I don’t need other people to tell me who I am or how I should feel…and I certainly don’t need their approval to make me happy.
I need to keep working on understanding who I am so that this need for validation can just vanish.
You want to judge me on my decisions/actions/thoughts/emotions/opinions?
Go right ahead…because I’m just done.
I’m hoping that if I can work on this, I can stop letting stupid, irrelevant things bother me and take over my entire life.
I’m taking a stand. It’s time to do things for me. It’s time to be happy for me.
My anxiety is through the roof lately.
I’m finding it really difficult to relax. Nights are the worst.
:(
Edit: please help?
…The rest of my night :)
A new Starbucks opened in Cleveland circle, so I was able to get my Skinny Peppermint mocha after my run - as always, delicious (and only 100 calories)! I am so excited we have a Starbucks so close to campus now.
Then my boyfriend made me dinner, because he is just the best ever. <3
Salmon Croquettes with Quinoa: amazingly delicious!!
He also surprised me with a Cookie Dough Luna Bar! Oh my gosh, words cannot express how much I love this boy. :) <3 I am quite lucky.
Now I have to attempt to be productive in studying for my neuroscience exam on Tuesday…yeah.
Green tea and One Tree Hill.
This is my Friday night…
I’m super exciting, haha.
I’m watching “With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept.”
I can’t believe this show will end next week - totally not ready!
All of the sudden I feel sad.
I wonder if I’m enough.
