One of the things holding me back from CTB is the leftover thoughts of a better future waiting for me someday: being able to live in my own place, on my own terms, with people who love me. Even as the chance of actually having such a future slips further and further away from me, I still find it so hard to let go of these past hopes. They kept me going for so long when things were difficult, and even as my life gets worse and worse some part of me still feels so sad knowing that if I CTB this idea of a good, happy life will never become a reality. Maybe this is a sign that I'm not completely ready for CTB? But at the same time, living in my current abusive situation has been so exhausting lately. It feels like my life is slowly collapsing around me; I don't know how much longer I can stand this. I guess at some point I'll just have to accept it -- that in the end, I didn't do much with my life? But it's still so hard. I wish things could have been different.
