Written June 2023:

A stand in screaming my own insecurities. Right now, looking back? Knowing what I do now? I’m proud of myself for persisting. For still trying to do things. I did hate myself. I did struggle a lot with motivation.

Now I know how to work with it, what to call it, and why it was getting so hard to deal with. I struggled for literal years and I still struggle, but not with the extreme hatred I had for myself back then.
