Like ok but here's the thing: growth is painful. Growth has been painful for as long as you've been alive to grow. The moment you were born you gained access to all these new senses - smell! touch! taste! sight! - but you also became capable of experiencing hunger, tiredness, pain. It's always going to be more comfortable sticking to the thing you know is safe. But that thing you know is safe is too small to hold you forever, and you have to come out.
#chats#I've been hermit mode the last few weeks and re-emerging from that cave fucking sucks#everything is bright and loud and you forget how to interact with the people you love and you lose the instinct of WANTING to#your responsibilities and the consequences of shrimp posing at a computer for a week straight all hit you at once and it SUCKS#bad posture doesn't really hurt until you try to straighten your back (this is a metaphor and also a true thing)#you don't notice how weak your knees have become until you try to run on them#but you have to!!! you have to!!!!!!#*I* had to because I have a thesis that I need to finish
