how to deal with crazy people (aka freak friends) #1

Hii Starlights! its ur girl mahra back with new spell tea abt freck ppl! so get ur snak and come back!! ( ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ )

nah bc some of y’all got friends that are straight up walking red flags with a splash of **mental illness** and a whole lotta “i’m the victim” energy. like babe i get it, life’s hard, but why u tryna start WW3 over a dry text or someone not liking your story?? not everything is deep. sometimes ppl just tired. or sick of ur mess.

like real talk: i know you have shit problems and i have shit 2 like don’t put ur shit in my shit. i have more shit to work on, motherfucker. i’m not ur emotional punching bag. i’m not ur 3am therapist. i’m not tryna unpack ur drama suitcase when mine already overweight. we all fighting demons, but some of y’all throwing hands with angels and blaming everyone else.

and pls don’t act like being “crazy” is cute. this ain’t tumblr in 2014. grow up. get a grip. or at least get a group chat that ain’t tired of u.

also—if you always the one fixing everything, checking on ppl, calming them down, carrying their emotional breakdowns like it's your full time job: STOP. let them figure it out. let them cry alone for once. be selfish. protect urself. if they call u fake or “not like u used to be” just say “damn maybe i finally got tired of being ur emotional trash can.”

cuz fr… it’s always the same: they mess up, disappear, come back with a weak ass “i was going thru sm” like we weren’t all going thru it too. you don’t get to make life harder for other ppl just cuz yours is hard. PERIOD.

you can still love people and not let them drain the life outta you. you can be a real one and cut someone off with a smile.

so yeah. let them freak out. let them be messy. let them text you 5 paragraphs and you just hit them with “lol ok.”
cuz the older i get the more i realize: PEACE >>> PEOPLE.

that’s all. stay unbothered. stay hydrated. block that freak if u need to.XOXO, mahra ♡.
