TIL that my mother's landlord tenancy board hearing is the same day as the Jimmy Carr show Somehow the fates knew I'd be super fucked up watching my mother get pushed into homelessness and that Id really need a decent distraction that night 🙃 lol

For the first time in my entire life, 4 days before my 36th birthday, I spontaneously had the thought, "I love my life." It was brief and fleeting. The pain that argues with this thought returned almost immediately. But the thought had a moment to happen, and I think that's pretty huge :D

I have become the adult I desperately wanted as a child. I'm basically there... what an interestingly existential and comforting realization

I have a growing desire to get dancing & singing lessons. I long to move my body & use my voice Idk where these cravings are coming from but dang they're expensive! Where does one ever find the time!? Im frustrated with how adulting in a capitalist system is pulling me away from how I want to live

The show Chance from DisneyPlus wasnt exactly the best, with too much de essex machina and man raging to justify the plot at times but that ending though! Now THAT was excellent and it even made me cry a little :')

Just because you're needed doesn't mean you should do it Just because they say they need you doesn't mean you have to do it Just because they don't know who else to ask doesn't make its your responsibility Have boundaries Take care of yourself In the end, you're the only one who can ♡

In order to finally get minecraft back on my PC I HAVE to install the Xbox app and that actually makes me cry for how powerless I am to say no to this P.O.S ram-hoarding, non-censenting garbage for software Fuck the creators of minecraft for selling off to Microsoft. You screwed us all forevermore

TIL that the biggest contributor to my passive suicidality is my insomnia... and I suppose that makes sense but also fuck. I don't want to live the rest of my life only getting medicated sleep. But I'm really struggling to figure out a solution that isn't a sedative 😖 I've tried so many things! Fml

25 y.o me: true love is when someone is willing to do absolutely anything & change anything to make it work I want that! 35 y.o me: if you're willing to change to get with me, I'm not interested. I need someone who can hold their own & won't change on a whim because someone doesn't like their hair

Yesterday, I learned that I managed to get a meeting with some important faculty at the local university to discuss their waste management issues during student move outs because I publicly trashed them on social media for poorly handling it And that, my friends, is how it's done in the modern day 😆

I asked you for help today At one point, you got very frustrated with me & told me to stfu or you would mute me I appreciate the reminder of why I'm here & you're there... but that doesn't seem to make me miss you any less But then I wonder, is it that I actually miss YOU, or am I just lonely? 🤔

Most people that I know of between the ages of 25 and 29 this year spent their adolescents assuming they'd take their life before 25... they never pictured a life past a quarter century, & that truly blows my mind! I think it speaks to the horribly depressive & hopeless messaging they grew up around

We are fed so many delusions when we're children And when we get to the point of noticing it's all bs & pointing it out, most older adults usually just say, "Ah, I see you've grown up" Like, what!? Why do you feed us crap you know isn't true & then denote the dismantling of your crap as maturity!?

I want to feel real belonging I need it But every vague resemblance of it that I've ever had has always required me to change, shrink, or work in some way I just want to be, without having to try... Is that really too much to ask?

I hate that I keep typing things out to share with ppl and then deleting it because they don't feel safe to share with... The worst part is that I can't tell if it's actually that they aren't safe or just my trauma wounds, making me too scared to find out...
