i do for real need to not be here but it feels like giving up to say that. but i don't actually need them to reach my life goals of "living with some friends" "having some rats" "going to anthrocon" "being a librarian"

@pinkplasticwineglass its not giving up to say that

it feels like all of the burden is on me to try and repair our relationship even though they're the ones that ruined it. and if i try to leave they're going to reassert that. i think it's about working myself up to be confident enough that i'm doing whats best for me
