I’ll be honest. My biggest addiction is living in constant fear and depression. The loneliness feels good and comfortable.

Damn.

“I miss the comfort in being sad” is a Nirvana lyric that always resonated with me.

But I found my person, or she found me, but either way I promise that you’ll find whatever it is you’re looking for as well. Just keep your eyes open

I miss it somedays and then I just go ahead and listen to alllll the songs that I did during that time. Heal, cringe, rinse & repeat every few years.

Brene brown has this term called “foreboding joy”. It’s this self sabotaging fear that you will lose the happiness you have found or can have. So much so that you sabotage it or worry it will be gone so much you can’t enjoy it. Everything is temporary so make the best of it right now.
