imagine if we acted with drowning people like we act with suicidal people

not the "get over it and breathe!" part

the "the more you scream the less people care" part

it's as if people would walk away from a drowning man if he screams for help more than once because he fears he hasn't been heard

ha.

i talked about dyeing my hair the other day, so today i picked up a box of Garnier Olia Intense Red. the box said it'd look dark red on my brunette hair, i said okay, the cashier said €8.95. i came home, did the stuff, waited, did the other stuff, and pulled a face.

that's not even remotely a little red. that's purple at best. it looks like i took a picture with a discreet instagram filter. it's sad. it's €8.95 i'll never get back.

blergh.
