i was at my best when i was burned out,
i got the most compliments,
people applauded me for my grades,
they admired me for my accomplishments,
even i thought that i was doing well,
but the light inside of me was gone,
i wasn’t myself,
and that messed with my head,
because when i finally got better,
the compliments stopped,
so i had to relearn how to live,
a life without others approval,
because existing is already enough.

I emphasise and connect with this on an unbelievable level. Maybe during times of burnout there’s a facade, an unwavering air of confidence that makes others see you in a different light. The fake confidence that is merely keeping you afloat. But when you chose to help yourself you renter the world as ordinary. It takes time to realise this, but your worth has not changed, and you will find people who see and love you for you, who support you and demonstrate approval in their own, beautiful way. I hope you find that person or those people, for me he changed everything. Now, sometimes, I don’t feel like I’m just existing, but living. Stay strong x
