Reid: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety, I'll wait.

Garcia: You and me.

Reid, tearing up: Okay.

I hate living with people. I found my saucepan in the washing machine this morning...I do not want to know how it got there.

system protip: if trying to keep track of your switches and fragments feels impossible and is driving you crazy, stop doing it. or at the very least dont put as much weight into making it perfect. you dont need to track every switch, you dont need every fragment logged. sometimes its easier to just exist as a system than drive yourself up the wall trying to micromanage everything about your complex disorder

Growing up

Sometimes I get sad because I'm outgrowing my past interests, and in doing so, old friends. I know I'm not a bad person for doing this. I just feel sad because I have a hard time letting things go. I guess this is both the curse and blessing of growing up. Sometimes outgrowing someone is for the best, like when they keep asking if you're straight yet. They were a good friend, just not the best for me. Or maybe they were your best friend, the healthiest friend you've ever had, but you just grew apart. Consider that character development, you are the main character of your own story after all.

Back to old interests, it served me a lot of joy. I by no means am the kind of person to decide an items wort based on how much joy it gave me, but if I try to hang on to something I used to love, it just feels hollow and eventually suffocating.

What I'm trying to say is, it's ok to let things go. It ok to outgrow people. It's ok to change. After all, the moon changes every night, and we still think it is beautiful.
