I naturally gravitate towards you.
Now I know that I have to turn away.
~E, or I'll make the same mistake.

I need to understand that making mistakes.
Doesn't make me less than I already am.
~E, perfectionist.
158.
I need to learn to not objectify myself to numbers but for today.
I haven't.
~E, worth.

Moths.
I hate moths.
I can't stand how they look like the exoskeleton of a butterfly.
The beautiful creature that people adore.
While the moths are the aftermath.
I wish I could see the beauty in me even when the old me is gone.
~E, past and future.

I wish I was someone else.
I wish I had the gym bros that would come up to you and ask how you've been.
I wish I had those school friends that you hang out with every weekend.
That invite you to parties, and other out of school events.
The ones you've known for a long time.
I wish I could go up to people to have that chance.
I wish I was more confident so my confidence would radiate onto other people.
I wish I could talk about my interests with no shame.
I wish I was someone else.
~E, social anxiety.
