i was much kinder. had so much more patience. i was still just as miserable, but i didnt let that get in the way of being kind to others. now i feel more burnt out than ever. like all my patience and compassion has been sapped up.

i dont like who im becoming. i feel so mean and bitter. im sorry for it all. i dont like me either.

      It’s not really, you just need to be able to tell people that you just can’t be there for them rn. It feels really mean, but it is also better for them since you can help others better when you actually have the energy for it. And those people want you to be okay too
