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?
