Chicken change

Writing and me.

I’m attracted to you and that’s bad for me cos if I’m attracted to you, it means you have the power to hurt me because it then means that you can identify with a deep part of some of my traumas. That puts us at risk of falling back into the cycle of abuse and strengthening it. I will fall for you and you will hurt me.

I find that the hack to doing better is actually wanting it bad enough. We humans are unstoppable when we want something. Civilization? We went for it and we got it. Survival? Lol. Leave survival for us. Evolving? We are constantly evolving. It’s the fear of failing or the laziness to even start that hinders us.

Speaking for myself sha.
