Introduction
Hello, frens.
If you know me from my other works, welcome. My writing style is about the same here, but it differs. These are stories I wrote over time, hence the title. Poems, short stories. The inner workings of my mind and how I coped with everything.
The stories we tell ourselves are important, even if they were old or unhealthy for us. They teach us something about ourselves or old situations.
The stories we keep telling ourselves are even more important because it means we are holding onto these things. It means we are continuing to tell ourselves these old stories, even when the past has been gone for years.
Sometimes, we need to shelf these old stories or even burn them. They are no longer needed, no longer or were never true. Now, we can move forward with a new story. With a new outlook to bring in a new life that we actually want.
As you read these stories, you might wonder,"Why post these if you're no longer in that place? What makes you keep them?"
And, the answer is that I hope they can help you as much as they have helped me. I went through a lot while feeling alone and as if I only had myself. I don't wish that feeling on anyone, so here they are. If you're in these places, just know that you aren't alone.
Things do get better from here, especially with consistent effort and time for yourself. I truly appreciate your support and time. You're doing better than you think, my friend.
Thank you for being here. That shows more strength than you realize.
