Reflections

So my birthday is in 2 weeks and all the plans I have been trying to make are falling through. I never particularly liked my birthday because it seemed more like a chore knowing that I will have to socialize with people when I would rather be left alone. I also don't like it because I know people ar

I remember in May last year I had a mental breakdown because I wanted a break. I was tired, depressed, and overall just tired. Shocker nothi

I always think that people judge me for being a picky eater or it is inconvenient for them.

i recently moved into a new flat with a new flatmate - she's been my friend for years (since high school!) and i knew i was going to feel super comfortable living with her. yet, i've found myself feeling this odd sense of inadequacy when it comes to a social life. she's not studying or working at
