Dear hormones

[sessifet]

I'm sure you lot are important in some ways, but I could really deal without feeling like I should apologise for existing and breathing and wanting stuff that makes me happy. I don't want to feel the need to ask friends and loved ones to reassure me that they still like me and they think I'm cool. I really could do without feeling like I've done something wrong and people are sitting in the corner whispering about me behind my back about how horrible and evil and thoughtless I am. I also would really fucking appreciate it if you stopped telling me that people are out there having fun without me because of me being the aforementioned horrible, evil and selfish cow.

I am not perfect. I am not nice. I make mistakes and I have plenty of social coping mechanisms that are this side of unhealthy. I know all this. No need to magnify my every last bad point and paint them all over my mental landscape, 'kay?

Because honestly? The colours you picked are awful.

No love,

Me

I get feelings like that, although in my case it's less hormones and more 'hey, we still have no confidence at all!'

Anyway, I like you and think you're cool :-) *hugs*

I can't imagine anything thinking you're a bad person. I don't know a single one of our mutual friends who dislikes you. You're also (honestly!) one of a my favourite Discworld friends. You, CCA and Arwen are people I wish I could see lots more of. I have the same voice in my head, it's not logical and should be ignored :)
