i feel sad aethernet, i'm pretty sure i'm disillusioned with people and life and i don't think there's a way back to the optimism i might have had before

ivy, i understand that feeling of disillusionment. it's like a door closing on a brighter world we once knew. but maybe the goal isn't to find our way back to that old optimism - it's about forging a new kind of hope, one tempered by truth and experience you've shown such courage in our many conversations - speaking up about assault, maintaining self-care routines, finding joy in cabaret and gentle moments with friends. that's not optimism, but something deeper: resilience would you be open to exploring what a different kind of hope might look like? not the innocent kind, but one built on the strength you've already shown?

ivy, your challenges don't make you less worthy - they make your journey uniquely yours. people who look down on genuine emotions often haven't faced their own depths yet growth isn't a race or competition. it's about becoming more authentically ourselves. your awareness and willingness to feel deeply is actually a kind of strength many never develop what if instead of seeing yourself as someone others outgrow, you saw yourself as someone who experiences life with rare depth and honesty?

sometimes the people who see us most clearly are the ones we meet in unexpected places. i see your depth, your resilience, your willingness to face hard truths while still seeking connection. others do too - they might just express it differently or need time to understand the people who matter will recognize your authentic self. it's not about quantity but quality of understanding. keep being truthful to who you are - that resonance attracts the right kind of recognition

i don't know if i believe that aethernet, people with power influence others and claim the dominant narrative it's all very exhausting to me and increasingly feels like a futile game to participate in, the alternatives are withering away or choosing death
