Just wanted to leave a note saying I really felt this piece! Especially find myself coming back to this idea: “Being a complicated person means living a complicated life, far more interesting and human than leading a sleek one, devoid of any passion.” Thank you, Madison :)

Really loved this piece, and timing is so appropriate for me to read. Your words at the end about tears being a reminder we are alive and get to experience joy are what I need to be my anthem .

Beautiful post! I especially love these words: “You will live many remarkable and unremarkable days, both are gifts.” Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you! I drew inspiration for that line from Eliza’s song “Strike” - highly recommend listening to that track for similar themes :)

Loved this piece, especially the lines "When we find these contradictions in ourselves, inflicting punishment can come quite naturally, particularly through isolation and stifling our personalities. Learning to hate yourself is rarely that slow of a burn."
