it’s hard to talk about because it’s like. not something i can go into detail, or talk about publicly at all. but turns out being neglected for 10+ years does really fucking bad things to your brain. i am trying my hardest to “cope correctly” and “be good” but sometimes i wish i could just scream.

sat in bed motionless and in silence for an hour. no motivation to do anything. struggling to process trauma and feeling upset that i can’t escape reminders of it

i hung up some prints above my bed yesterday. i still need to figure out how to hang a nonstandard size nicely (i really like that art on the museum guide...) but otherwise i'm happy with it i used this guide and it made the hanging process so easy www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-creat...
a bed with an assortment of framed prints above it. mostly prints featuring cats and floral motifs

getting comfortable with speaking a new language is so fucking hard. like in general it’s very hard but. it’s Nightmare Difficulty for me because i had delayed speech development as a kid. i talk much slower than everyone else i know in my own native tongue and the idea of something else is!

thank you! here's a secret tip: saturation is an underrated color trait! contrast a light, muted greyish tone with a deeper, more saturated color. or vice versa! sites like coolors.co can be helpful for getting inspiration and building color schemes too
Your colour schemes are always very pretty and work so well together, pairing rich greens with soft pinks or earthy browns and such. What's your secret? Any tips on picking colours for each other?

i know this is a really sappy answer but i mean it genuinely: my boyfriend, for supporting me, loving me, and helping me leave a very bad situation. made me realize that a better, happier future is possible. it's been a real fuckin rough year but that's the easily best thing that's happened all year

;_;!!!! this means so much to me to hear... it's been a little bit since i've done a whole makeup look, but lately i've been wearing red lipstick again and that's been making me happy. it's a deep, dark, cranberry-ish red. love it so much
I remember your makeup post on cohost! They always brought me joy. Are there any makeup things that are bringing you joy lately?

i understand the purpose of color coding icons and interfaces, and even advocate for them. however i am a bitch for monochromatic interfaces. i need my shit to match. this is my curse

some of the prints i wanna hang up. i might have to get creative with the milwaukee art museum guide though. i just thought the colors worked really well with everything else

yeah. i think i agree, though i have been confronting a lot of difficult stuff privately that *has* genuinely made me second-guess relationship dynamics. i can't really get into it publicly but after talking about it in therapy over the past few months: got me thinking about a lot.

always feeling like i'm far too much of a fucking freak for "normal" people but not enough of a freak to belong anywhere else

tulip 🌷🐱 @platinumtulip.net · 30/09/2026
i don't really want to keep up with watching streams anymore. video games are extremely a "sometimes" thing for me and always have been. unfortunately these two traits isolate me from nearly every social group i've been in. so i'm just sighing and going "well." and doing my own thing.

tulip 🌷🐱 @platinumtulip.net · 30/09/2026
always tried to tell myself that it shouldn't matter what other people think, just be myself. but being true to myself tends to make others feel awkward and uncomfortable. so if i have to choose between forcing myself to belong, and pursuing what i enjoy even if it isolates me: i'd choose the latter

i am used to finding ways to preoccupy myself. working on projects and finding skills to strengthen brings me satisfaction and joy. but i feel a massive disconnect between what i value and what i'm passionate about, and what most other people actually care about.

been feeling very isolated lately. i don't feel like i am part of a "community" or "group" these days. i drift around between groups of people, but i don't feel like i really belong anywhere. this isn't a new feeling for me; honestly, it's a fairly familiar one.

i'll be fine. if i was able to pick up japanese as a teenager and learn an entirely different writing system, i will get the hang of this new-to-me grammatical quirk. and also it's only been two days since i started studying french. it's just tripping me up a bit lmfao
