I'm not a procrastinator I am someone who is exhausted from trying to keep up a pace of productivity that I was never built for I'm not a perfectionist I'm a woman who keeps trying to prove my worth to people who benefit from never acknowledging it I don't have depression I have normal physiological responses to an environment that denies or exploits my true emotional needs and desires I am not an anxious person I am a person under the influence of a culture permeated by competition and fear I am not paranoid I live in a world ruled by greedy predators and liars I am not a diagnosis I am just one of many human beings who are too often denied our humanity
