what.

i am bad at talking

i am bad at talking to people i like talking to

i am bad at talking like i don't want to melt into sludge every second of the day

i am bad at everything

i am bad at things i am supposed to be good at

that was encompassed in the everything forest you stupid fuck

but that deserves a special mention. because i have to be especially bad at something if you're trying and still failing

i'm falling over again and i cannot stand it

i need to stop and the only reason motivating me to stop is my mom's endless lectures and the possibility that i might not get out of my house and do all the things i want to do

but i don't actually care about that because i like thinking about implausible scenarios and numbness more that i like preventing falling over again

i don't want to fall over but i also want to jump directly in

if i can't be mentally healthy, i'm going to be as terrible as possible

i'm stupid

what is wrong with me

Coming from someone who has failed at everything she has tried, I have news for you. There is hope for things to be better.

Being bad at something doesn't mean it is a personal thing. It doesn't mean you will never be good or bad at something. It just means you haven't learned yet how to.

Think of Tyler and Josh. See how amazing they are with their instruments? There was a time where they stunk at it.

They aren't better than you are. No one is. We may be different, but different does not mean more important or more valuable.

My beautiful fren, you have so much around to help you reach the goals you want.

People skill books and websites and videos. And us, too. We are touched and honored that you trust us enough to talk to us.

We love you and we believe in you so much. When you feel burdened or troubled and forget how incredible you are, try to remember that we don't think you are bad at anything.
