Why Online Friendships Are Just As Important As IRL
You don’t have to make any apologies for who you are, you don’t need to hide parts of yourself, or create this illusion of someone you feel you should be

I will stop wasting all of my energy on worrying, on doubt, on fear and use it for greatness, for my ambition, for those dreams which scare the hell out of me…but won’t ever be reached if I just sit back and think of all the things which could go wrong.
This year, I will choose more preciously the moments I want to share with the world and keep the rest for us. I will be present.
Setting yourself incredibly high standards that no one will ever reach because at least that way, you can blame them and not your own fears.
This New Year’s, I’ll lean in real close, whisper ‘happy new year my love, we made it.’
Our love doesn’t need to be like the movies, it doesn’t need to be perfect and neither do you.
So on those dark days, the ones which bury you, when your bed feels like the safest place on earth, when the thought of having to talk to another person makes your stomach somersault so violently you want to be sick, just remember who you are.
I am always waiting for you to leave again and return again. I forever feel in limbo—excited to see you and dreading you leaving. The ground beneath me is constantly shifting, and I am always falling, reaching out for you but you’re not here. Not even close.
I wish I could tell you that I am surviving, that you only enter my thoughts when the lights go out and my feet search for yours beneath the sheets. I wish I could tell you that long distance relationships get easier with age or experience, but they don’t.
Nobody gets to tell you how you feel, nobody gets to take away your emotions or experiences. Nobody gets to tell you how to heal or cope with any of the shit that you’ve been through. Just because you look a certain way or act a certain way, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t an entire person you keep hidden from the world.
