They Used To Call Me Bubbles @bubbles-burst - Tumblr Blog

U literally cannot save your mother like it cant be done

My fuckwad neighbors left their floodlight on all Saturday night - it points *directly* into my bedroom window. I went over Sunday morning because it was STILL on at 10am - and they weren’t home. I checked all day and evening and they never showed up so I think they must have left town and just left all the lights on to try to scare off burglars. A large population of my town is California boomers who have retired and need a place to spend their money. So since they’re coming from big cities, they have a lot of “stranger danger” fear. Which, I get. But our area is pretty safe, particularly the neighborhood I’m in (which is one of the reasons I chose it) and there’s no need to blast your lights. THAT will open up you to violence 😂

Anyway, I couldn’t spend another night like that so I used tin foil and duct tape and blocked out my window. It looks ratchet AF, BUT when I tell you - it was SO DARK in my room last night. It was amazing. I felt like I was underground. I slept so fucking hard. I’d wake up, nothing but dark, immediately back to sleep. No weird neck twisting positions to try to keep light out of my face. Just….dark.

It was blissful. I’m pretty sure I’m just going to keep it up….I will use my living room for sunlight and drinking my coffee and my room can stay dark and cozy like a rabbit hole. I’m already so excited to go to bed tonight, although I also feel incredibly rested.

5,300 and change. So many Californians move here and find out they can’t breathe.

Would you rather visit a garden, a forest, a (plant) conservatory, or a copse?

I like a garden if the weather permits. A conservatory has the benefit of climate control but isn’t quite as nice for waundering.

My algorithm now is all “relationship red flags” and “when an avoidant breaks up with you”, with a healthy dose of “girl, you don’t need no mans, being a single woman is awesome fuck relationships” thrown in (although I keep seeing the same guy posting videos “what a man REALLY thinks of your texts!” so I guess they figure I still have a shot at not dying alone if I can remember to put a little winky face 😉 at the end of my texts to show him how fun and flirty I am!).

But of course it’s showing me this stuff because I watch it 🙃 and some of them are helpful or at least seem to make sense.

One of the “red flags” ones had three questions you should ask a new partner to sus out if they’re healed from their last relationship (ie have they “put in the work”) and are ready to be out in the wild again. And while I’m pretty sure asking any of these questions to a new person would guarantee you get blocked immediately, they are actually good questions to ask MYSELF, because I do think they’re valid.

1) what led to the end of your last relationship?

2) what is something you needed in your last relationship that you weren’t getting?

3) if your ex wrote an *honest* exit interview about you, what would they say?

The fact that as I started crying when I read these and tried to really think of the answers…means, I think, that they are worth digging into.

Watching “The Four Seasons” because I love Tina Fey and several people recommended it. But idk if I’m mentally healthy enough to watch a show about struggling marriages. Like it’s all hitting too close to home and I just want to yell at these people and/or cry.

The real horror of a Stepford Wives situation isn't 'the suburbs are creepy' or even 'conformity is creepy' or 'I don't wanna be replaced by a robot'

The horror is the idea that you might choose to spend your life with somebody only to realize they don't actually want a partner and friend, somebody with ambitions and thoughts and joy. They want somebody productive, compliant, and sexually available, and all your internal life is nothing but a barrier to that. That the person you love only loves what you do for them, and the less of the an actual person you are, the happier they are.
