#the darkest hours

[foxoftheninetails]

Sometimes I think I played the first chunk of my life on easy mode. I always got away with everything, I had money in my pocket that I earned, even when shit was bad at school I always skated by.

I met Kenna, and we were joined at the hip. We got married, and we moved to New York. Even when money was tight, we always managed to make something work. I was happy, I think. Because I ignored how I felt inside, just suppressed it.

Things were good. I had a very well paying job, we finally had our own place, we werent just surviving, we were thriving and healing.

Then I got fired, and it feels like every day has been a struggle. I decided fuck it, time to do some personal growth, and I learned how to unmask. Imagine being so diligent, so efficient at masking, you have to unlearn how to do it. You have been so afraid of being your true self for so long, you don't even recognize yourself anymore.

Dont get me wrong, I love my partner and my friends with all my heart. They are true, genuine bright spots in my life. But everything outside of them is so dark. I hate how weak I've become, that the smallest thing puts me in bed for days. I feel sick all the time, I can't find motivation for anything but spending time with my friends.

And if I think someone is upset with me? Even over something small? Who needs sleep anyway? Every time I fuck up, the first place my head goes is: they're going to abandon you, just like every other person you cared about. You're going to be all alone, and no one will care. So get out ahead of it. Push them away first, go cold again. You don't need them, you got along fine on your own.

I hate myself for it. Because now, I fight back. I swallow my pride and I reach out. And it's never serious, they always tell me what the problem is, and we talk it out. But I'm such a whipped fucking puppy, I go through anxiety for hours or days before I work up the courage.

What if this time, I'm wrong. What if this time they really are tired of dealing with my bullshit. I'm headstrong, I dont listen, I get wrapped up in my own shit. I am hard to be friends with. What happens then?

I'm so tired of being scared of being abandoned. I'm so tired of feeling like I'm a constant disappointment to everyone around me. I'm so tired of feeling sick, and scared. I'm so tired of pulling everyone down around me with my depression and drama.

All I want is for my friends to see me online and get happy. I want my partner to come home and feel warmth and welcome. I want to be a better person instead of just slipping right back into shitty habits. Every day this keeps going, every day I dont get better, I question if I'm even worth it anymore. Just keep disappointing everyone until they all leave, get rid of me and live better lives. Then I can get some shitty little job that makes me miserable, and go back to living with my dad and being miserable, and isolating myself so I stop plaguing everyone. Then I can be the genuinely shitty person I know I am deep down, and I'll hate myself for it, but at least I can stop hurting the people I care about.

We deserved more Lancelot and Merlin doing manic interactions!! We were robbed

Look at the way Merlin is shrugging when Lance sees him light the fire w magic in front of the knights without them noticing, look how proud Lance is!! This episode (s04e02 the darkest hour pt2) is peak Merlin and Lancelot, bbc saw that and put an end to it. They deserved better. We deserved better

Agathario and their brooms!!

I don't know why but that whole scene with them and the brooms got me. I could've watch this over and over again, they're so soft here.

Like the way Rio is looking at Agatha while she's doing hers and Agatha adding ivy to Rio's broom. Like they are literally on the run and she still took the time to wrap ivy around it.

First she's waiting that Agatha does the first step and then it seems a bit like Agatha would gave her a small nod before they handing eachother their brooms. And how Rio took that broom! So carefully! She looks at it like it's the most beautiful and precious thing in the world. These scenes are pure beauty and I could watch them all day.
