i've been thinking of you and hoping to see an update or any sign of activity on here, I hope you are doing well. <3 You're one of my absolute favorites.
Hi there! This was so nice to see, I’m glad I came on today to check this blog. Thank you for being so thoughtful, pal.
Not sure if you’ve read my most recent update from this blog (https://decembernovemberoctober.tumblr.com/post/124028451337/somewhat-important-news-for-people-who-have-an); but essentially, I recently started another blog where I post more frequently & more personally. I haven’t posted the URL for it publicly for the reasons I mentioned in the post I linked above. However, you’re very welcome to ask me for it if you’d like & I’d be happy to give it to you
hi! i found a post from your blog of a yellow tshirt with text on it and the caption said you made it? i was wondering where i could get that tshirt, if you or someone else is selling it. thank you, hope you have a nice day/night:)
hi! sorry that it took so long to respond to this message.
i did technically ‘make’ the shirt, but i didn’t place an order for any; it was more of just a fun thing to design. so, that is to say that i’m not selling it & as far as i’m aware, no one else is either.
however, it’s pretty simple to make. i just used this site http://www.customink.com/services/t-shirt-maker & you’re welcome to do one for yourself if you want.
take care!
That’s not freedom it’s indifference.
Anne Carson, from Autobiography Of Red
I've been seriously horrible at functioning, responding to people, and just in general, being a Person. so here is a general & sincere apology to anyone on here who it's affected, since I currently do not have the spoons for more. just in ref to blogging: I've decided to make some significant changes, which I'll elaborate on tomorrow In a more coherent manner (when I can keep my eyes open) anyway, thought i'd sorta say something to speak to my aliveness. stay tuned, friends.

Is your university far from your current home? Do you plan on coming back home often?
Hey there. I didn’t realize this was still in my inbox, so sorry for the late response!It’s a few hours away - not too far, but not necessarily close either. The plan is to go back exclusively for therapy either once a week or every other week, and either spend a weekend at home once a month or every other month.
All of that is subject to change though, and nothing has been set in stone.
sometimes you say or do bad things while you’re in an awful mental place. sometimes you say things that are rude or uncalled for or manipulative. and i’m not going to hold that against you. mental illness is hard, and no one is perfect. but once you’re through that episode, you need to take steps to make amends. you need to apologize.
“i couldn’t help it, i was having a bad episode” is a justification, not an apology.
“i’m so fucking sorry, i fucked up, i don’t deserve to live, i should stop talking to anyone ever, i should die” is a second breakdown and a guilt trip. it is not an apology.
when you apologize, the focus should be on the person you hurt. “i’m sorry. i did something that was hurtful to you. even if i was having a rough time, you didn’t deserve to hear that,” is a better apology. if it was a small thing, you can leave it at that.
if you caused significant distress to the other person, this is a good time to talk about how you can minimize damage in the future. and again, even if it is tempting to say you should self-isolate and/or die, that is not a helpful suggestion. it will result in the person you’re talking to trying to talk you out of doing that, which makes your guilt the focus of the conversation instead of their hurt.
you deserve friendship, and you deserve support. but a supportive friend is not an emotional punching bag, and mental illness does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions. what you say during a mental breakdown doesn’t define you. how you deal with the aftermath though, says a lot.

I woke up and said to myself: Fuck it. This is madness. And reminded myself that if you’re a survivor, the thing to do is survive. Which I was definitely not doing.
Martha Gellhorn, from Selected Letters
now i am not one who has an ability to harmoniously articulate my true feelings, but i would just like to take a moment to thank adrianaintheraw for everything that she is. she is such a rare gem and a light in my life and i am so perplexed as to how i ever got by without my lil ladybug.

To smile less, talk less. Conversely, and most important, to mean it when I smile, and to believe what I say and say only what I believe.
Susan Sontag, from Reborn: Journals & Notebooks (1947-1963)
over the weekend, i ordered a phone case from otterbox (my current one is tattered, and falling apart beyond belief - truly a phenomenon in the world of phone case culture. and though hearing “woah. how did that happen” has been a charming conversation starter, i’m happy to be setting it aside and moving on to other things that don’t speak to my lack of reflexes/ability to keep things looking alive)
anyway, i chose 2-day shipping (it was free for the holiday weekend) so the case was set to arrive on tuesday. i checked the fedEX tracking, and it showed that the package was delivered on my doorstep yesterday morning - it was not.
after being mildly/moderately distressed for an embarrassing amount of time, i looked up the number for otterbox customer service; called their colorado office; spoke to a customer service rep, and explained the situation. she was refreshingly kind, and phenomenally helpful -- the company is going to send me a new shipment that requires a signature, and she’s going to call fedEX to make sure the confusion with the town listed on the shipping address is cleared up.
truly, a passage into adulthood. now it feels real
