I worked so hard and it wasn’t enough.
After battling chronic stress and 6 mental conditions, after working so hard for a big scholarship, I got the email today that I didn’t even get past the first stage. As someone who has always based their worth on academics, I thought maybe I could get the voice in my head to quiet down if I proved that I could do it. I thought maybe I could prove I was worth something.
But now I now I’m worth nothing. My pain, my effort, my existence, none of it means a damn thing to anyone.
