Hey guys.

So I'm in a really weird, bad mood right now so this blog might end up being just overly emotional and I might end up deleting it in the next hour but I really just needed to sort of type some things out. I've had a really weird day where I've just been super upset and its all stupid pmsy stuff but I just feel super shitty. The end of the semester's really busy and I don't totally know how my final's going to work out so I'm really stressed and I've just been really insecure recently. I keep rewriting my final and every time it sounds bad and trite and it makes me feel really untalented. I'm not very good at a lot of things and that bothers me a lot, but I always try to make it okay by the fact that I know I'm really good at writing and that makes everything sort of okay - like I traded in a lot of things for that so when I feel like I can't write I feel like I can't do anything and everything starts to feel like its collapsing. I also hold people's work in such esteem that I can't handle when I feel totally inadequate. Hannah and Spencer are so incredible and make such beautiful things that I start to feel like I don't know who I am when I can't make something. And when I do it never feels as good.

And with Spencer. I like him so, so much. So incredibly much and a lot of things that I'm really insecure about are starting to manifest themselves. Chase broke up with me because I was way too shy that I couldn't ever open up to him - or even, and this is pathetic, talk to him. I know this was a really long time ago and being a fourteen year old freshman is vastly different, but those feelings still scare me. When I'm enamored with someone I get really scared - scared I'm not good enough, not funny enough, not pretty enough and, especially, not interesting enough so all of those feelings have been crashing down on me recently. I feel like I can't find the right words ever and I'm just not a good enough person for this amazing person I'm with.

I've never gotten to this point in a relationship - where I had to really be myself to someone I cared about so much and hope that they loved me anyway. I feel like I'm starting to break down and I can't make myself be anything other than incredibly scared that I'm not enough. I'm not trying to make this blog a huge fish for sympathy or compliments, just an honest expression of the fact that I don't know what to do.

I know I complain about Max a lot. He's not a bad person, but it was a really bad relationship. I don't think I've ever really expressed how bad. Max said a lot of things that really messed me up. I made a really bad choice, for him and for myself, by dating him for so long. After we broke up, during last year, he said some of the worst things I've ever heard. Imagine someone who knew all the shitty things about you, the things that make you most insecure, and having them tell you all those things are true. I know break ups are hard and its so easy to be spiteful, but it was the worst thing. Last year I used to lock myself in my bathroom and cry because he was just texting me really mean things. Even when we were dating he always had a way of messing with my head - of making me feel incredibly useless and insecure. Stuff like that sticks with you - when someone who's supposed to care about you tells you you're crazy, that you don't care about anyone but yourself. Even tells you stupid shit like you're bad in bed. I don't know how to not lose someone. So, here I am, freaking out.

  1. Also Laura just walked in in the middle of me writing that and freaking out and I realized I don't feel at home in my dorm at all anymore.

  2. Okay, I totally know how you feel about writing, but believe me, you are wonderful at it. Everything I've seen you create is something beautiful and wonderful, just like you.

    and it's really scary when you get to that point in a relationship when you think the other person will start seeing the flaws you've tried to hide. but DON'T WORRY! If Spencer is as great as he seems, you can trust him to either not notice or not care. Don't stress about it, you just have to trust him, and realize that he probably has the same things going through his head too. And it's way easier said than done, really honestly trusting someone at any point is super hard (especially after the whole max thing)

    the main thing I'm trying to say is don't worry! just take a deep breath and relax; in a few weeks it'll be break and super not stressful <3

  3. I'm not as much an artist as you are, but I can say that maybe the struggle that feels like you aren't good enough is what in the end produces the most amazing things. Even if you don't feel that way. But you should, because you are really, really amazing. There's a reason you got in to Tisch, just like there's a reason Hannah and Spencer got in.

    Also, about Spencer, I think part of falling in love (and the reason it feels like falling--because it's scary and you can't control it) is opening your heart up to someone who's worth it, even if they have the potential to destroy it. That's what makes it worth it, in the end, because you've done something so terrifying and they are able to hold your heart in their hands and not break it. And if they do--then you've got SO many other people who care about you and there are SO many other people to meet and fall in love with. (Easier said than done, I know!) But if Spencer's the guy I think he is, you won't have to worry about that.
