On Apologizing for Existing

My boyfriend has pointed out many times that I apologize too much. At first, I never really knew what to say when he mentioned it. I would usually laugh awkwardly, feel a little embarrassed, and sometimes even apologize for apologizing, which honestly just proved his point. It wasn't until he brought it up repeatedly that I started paying attention to how often I actually say "I'm sorry" and, more importantly, why I say it.

Who Am I?

 It is a simple question, but whenever I try to answer it, I feel like it becomes one of the hardest questions there is.

If someone asked me who I am, the first thing that would probably come to my mind is that I am a sensitive person. But the truth is that answer makes me a little uncomfortable. Not because it is false, but because I don’t like the idea of that being the first impression people have of me. Sometimes sensitivity is confused with weakness, with overreacting, or with something that should be hidden, and I don’t want a single word to be enough to summarize everything I am.

I Don't Know Why I Want To Cry All The Time

Lately, I've been feeling like crying all the time. Not because something happened that day. Not because someone said something hurtful. There isn't a trigger I can point at and say, "That's why." It just happens.

It's Not That I Don't Want To Study

If you looked at me from the outside, you'd probably think I'm lazy. I have exams next week. I know I need to study. I know what's at stake. My scholarship depends on my grades, and failing isn't really an option. So I grab my tablet, open my notes, and tell myself, "Okay. Let's do this." Last Friday, that's exactly what I did. I sat down around 3 p.m., opened my notes, and started reading. Except I wasn't really reading. I kept going over the same sentence again and again until the words stopped making sense. I couldn't get myself to move on.
