I wish I was someone else, somewhere else. I wonder if my life would be easier. I’m sure I’d have struggles here and there as someone else but I wonder if my life would be better and more exciting and people would like me more. I guess I just feel ignored. I feel like I push people away too much and keep to myself. I remember being an outgoing little kid and I know that somewhere between then and now, I changed. I’m too scared to be myself and I hate it. It makes me feel fake or boring and trapped… I’m trying to get better about it but I just feel like the person I want to be is impossible to become even if it’s not and all I have to do is break out of my shell… but I can’t help but wonder if I were thinner, if I came from a wealthy family, or if I had both parents my whole life… if I would have been better off. I feel like it’s engraved in my brain that I’m not good enough and those engravings are played like a broken record. I’m so tired of it. This cynicism. And no one else can help me through it or tell those voices to shut up permanently.
