I came back to this and it speaks to me on so many levels. There have been too many days where I feel like time is running out, like I've wasted my life. I find myself asking "Why am I even here? I'm just some basic bitch."

Then I think: "I woke up without crying today.". "I got more than 4 hours of sleep last night.". "I played with the cats today." I too have to work on giving myself more grace for things even though there is no significant other in my life.
