Currently listening to: Someone Like You – Adele
Never mind, I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
“Don’t forget me, ” I begged
I remember you said
“Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead”
I know people love the word resilience. It gets tossed around a lot—especially in tough times. “You’re so resilient.” “Just be resilient.” It’s meant to be a compliment, a marker of strength. But… I don’t love it. Not for me.
I don’t always recover quickly. I don’t bounce back with a clean slate and a sunny disposition. Life doesn’t always work like that… at least for me anyway. Sometimes, I feel everything deeply, I’m passionate, and I overthink. I try to stay the course and keep focused. I persevere to my detriment at times. I’m the driver who will drive my car into the ground.
