Pretend You're Fine, Or You Never Will Be Again

Date: February 13th, 2025

I've learned recently that if you have enough bad things happen to you, you end up having to stop working on bettering yourself because you have to start figuring out how to explain the way your life looks in a way that doesn’t make you seem like a victim. Part of this stems from so many non-victims trying to frame themselves as victims when they're the ones who did the wrong shit and just got the consequences of their actions.

Because of this-- If you look like a victim, nobody will help you. They almost have to think you already have your shit completely together for you to get the opportunities to save yourself. Thus, there IS a limit to how much you can get kicked down before it becomes at least NEARLY impossible to save yourself.
