Let’s sit down and talk for a bit

If you’ve known me for a hot minute now, You might know the significance of what’s happening here, around December 2024/January 2025 l decided it would be a good idea to turn a new leaf, have a fresh new start. I left an old, rotten and worthless version of myselt behind. I just wanted to run from the issues had felt imprisoned in. My life was so cut off from what the real world actually was. I met all these new and amazing people, Experienced things I never would’ve experienced if i still stayed where I was, and most importantly I changed. But the insecurities I had, and the memories I made still stuck. I was bullied for my appearance, Looked down upon for my interest, And made fun of for being who l was.

Since i left most of myself behind, I didn’t want to feel like a nobody. I wanted my own little quirk, a mark, something to be recognised for. So... Every Single Day I would walk around with this Ushanka I had, prideful that I superglued a cross onto the front of it to “trademark” myself. It got me what i wanted, it got people wondering, Got people thinking “Who’s this guy?”, Got me the attention I always craved.
I was reliant on it, Almost like it was a sentimental drug.
Every time my ego inflated, My sense of self would drown more and more. I would slowly and unawarely be walking back to square one. Thankfully, I took a moment to step back.

June 26th: I realised what road I was heading, and I had enough. I was sick of being seen for who I am on the outside and never being seen on the inside. I was done with acting like i was unphased by judgment, even though it would always cut me deeper than it should.

I’m not trying to say “I’m turning a new leaf” again, but it’s more me saying:
I’m done putting on this facade,
I’m done trying to come off as who i’m not,
I’m done with this persona,
I’m done with the negative attention,
I wanna be who I am and always have been,
I want to feel human again.

Its a re-write, or should i say Re-Wright
(Thanks Finn)

Ive opened my eyes and had a good look at what I still have now, And i’m more than grateful.
But most importantly, I’m happy.
