The Council of Eight rules here

As a college student, currently really hungry with nothing to eat, I understand how hard it can be to get food.

Reblogging because lord knows college kids aren’t the only ones that are broke.

[atac-wolfe-deactivated20170512]

Reblogging because “broke” tips also convey extremely well to Survival tips.

Learn to make something outta nothing.

[dallydaydream]

Reblogging for reference because I suspect I might be broker now than I was in university.

[dailylifewithchronicillness]

Because it might be helpful for spoonies on a budget!

Lord knows I'm bound to need these

[dracoregno]

hurt

they were supposed to serve as a reminder

so of course I just fucking ignore it

love myself 

a distant fantasy

especially when i’m so used to hating

hurt myself more like

i like to say that i deserve it

and it always ends the same

i just “whatever” it away

[dracoregno]

_ Me

I can’t scream loud enough

this feeling inside can’t get out fast enough

it has no name

i refuse to name it

because knowing the name just makes it scarier

i don’t wanna know

i don’t wanna know

i don’t want to but i have to know

the questions nag they nag and eat away at me

validate me tell me you love to hate me 

say something

fuck shit dammit

i’m wasting what little time I might have left on this planet

son of a bitch

fuck all this shit

my life’s a mess i’m drowning in the hell of it

no i’m not

i feel nothing

sporadically racketing through radical emotions

emptiness euphoria depression pleasure pain 

giddy giggle fits rage filled silences

racing thoughts shift to mindless emptiness

i hear the whisper the obvious diagnosis

so filled with fear i avoid every psychiatrist

know i’m not fine but lie and stress that i can handle this

got to be strong so insist that i can heal myself

but every setback breaks me 

i’m just jeopardizing my health

but going in is the last straw

it’s cementing that big fucking black mark

on my imagined reputation

“what is wrong with me?” i ask

knowing i’ll never try to know

Love Yourself

I do because I want to and I must. The world feels right when I do and wrong when I don't. Loving myself opens me up to more feelings and I love to feel, even when I don't, because for a good, long while I couldn't. So I love myself more than I love any force I could think to pray to. Because I am the human being living on Earth and this Life is Mine.

I want to lose weight because I love myself. I want to cook for myself more because I love myself. I want to treat myself to gorgeous clothes and fabulous costumes because I love myself. I want to photograph myself as I please because I love myself. I want to perform dances for myself, at the very least, because I love myself. I want to write and professionally publish physical copies of my work because I love myself. I want to study and become fluent in Japanese because I love myself. I want to embrace those titles of Witch and Wisewoman because I love myself. I want to make order of my empty days because I love myself. 

I’m happy to want again. I am glad to know I can, to know I am not Nothing anymore. I am thrilled to feel like a person, a full person, a living person again.

And I thank myself for that!

I deserve it. I am alive.

I love myself.

[dracoregno]

Self Love

My hands slip down my body. Crossed against my throat, gliding down and around to cup my breasts, sliding smoothly along the soft, uneven dunes of my stomach, curling out and under to lift my hips, pressing softly up into my thunder thighs. My knowing hand slips into that secluded crevice. A finger curls curiously into that most hidden cavern. My breath hitches in my throat. Hands travel up and up. Brush past those stormy thighs, glance those wicked hips, breeze past that generous stomach, sail along that silky throat, up to my open lips. An even more curious tongue tastes the slick of that river of passion. I sigh softly. Need I more love than this?

[dracoregno]

Silent Self-Harm

Sometimes the voices come. They affirm all my fears. That everyone’s lying to me. They don’t love me, they just say so to pacify me. They just want to use me. I’m just a fun joke to everyone. I have no control over my life. I’m just garbage. A waste of space, energy, life. A waste, joke. Good for a laugh or just fun to abuse. I shouldn’t eat, I’m a disgusting lump of lard. I should vomit until I’m pretty again, only I never was. I should cut the fat away, and leave big scars so everyone knows I’m an emo poser loser worthless wannabe. Slice and slice and slice until there’s nothing left because I shouldn’t have even survived being born. Should never have been born. Should have been a miscarriage. Throw away everything I own because I don’t deserve any of it. I should be punished for even desiring things. I should be punished for wanting to be happy. I’m being punished for trying to be happy. I’m being punished for having aspirations and hopes and dreams and goals. For having motivation and wants, so it’s all been taken. I deserve to die but I’m a coward. I’m a coward who deserves to be beaten every single day. I deserve to be mentally broken, over and over and over. I deserve broken bones and broken dreams and a broken life. I deserve nothing that I’m receiving; it’s all too good for me. Even the depression is too good. And maybe I’m lying about that. Maybe I’m exaggerating and what I’m experiencing is normal. Normal and boring and I should just shut the FUCK UP and kill myself and get over it and stop whining like a little bitch. I shouldn’t talk to people because I’m wasting my time. And everyone that tries to tell me this isn’t true is lying to pacify me again, because it’s easier to shut me up and calm me down and LIE than to off me themselves, since I’m simply not worth the time and effort. Sometimes the voices come. And they're all mine.

They were always mine. My voice, altered-shifted but I know it is mine. It is the best and the worst self-harm. Invisible and silent, no-one knows it is happening. No-one intervenes. And the vicious voiceless cypher fills the air around me as I hound me, as I harp, as I growl and I bark, as I roar and shriek silently. Leaving scars that even I can’t see.

Ask me for a story, my child. Do not be afraid. I have many to share and time to spare.

A Conflict

Hi. My name doesn't matter. My past doesn't matter. My future doesn't matter. My present doesn't matter. Nothing matters. But what does that mean? Even that doesn't matter. Hi. My name matters. My past matters. My future matters. My present matters. Everything matters. And what does that mean? That matters most of all. Motivation, passion, emotion. Things that I have in excess. Things that I utterly lack. Purpose, logic, reason. Some basis for being, some law to live by, something somewhere anywhere to guide me. But no matter which path is taken, it's empty and fulfilling all at once. Somebody kill me I want to live. Pointless. Pretentious. A joke. In more ways than one.

[dracoregno]

Who or What is “Nameless”?

I am... empty. I am going to try to help you understand what that means. Now, how do I define this emptiness? And why use the word "empty"? Hollow is equally accurate linguistically, but when you hear that word it creates a feeling of sadness, doesn't it? Longing of some sort? Someone being hollow is either sad or frightening. That same feeling rings true if I tell you that I am bare, vacant, or deserted. But what instead if I use the word "clear"? Or "free"? Then there is an air of positivity, the feeling of weights being lifted or fears left behind. But that is also an incorrect assessment. I am not free. I am not clear. I am not vacant or deserted. Neither am I hollow, or bare, or any other word that acts as a synonym. Because those words have a feeling, an emotion of some sort attached. What do you feel when you hear the word empty? Nothing. And that is exactly correct. I am empty. There is nothing inside of me. No emotions, no desires, no fears, no guard to put up or let down, no aggression or anxiety, no ease or peace of mind. I am empty. Like an empty chest, or empty box, or empty closet. Nothing to impress upon or be impressed by. Nothing at all. That is empty. It is like being dead. Or not yet having been born. But I am alive. Breathing, moving, thinking thoughts that are nothing more than empty observations with no personality behind their statement. Something like a sentient camera. Aware of my existence but with no opinion to supplement it. An empty person only exists. Like a robot, I feel nothing on my own. But like a robot I can be programmed to act as if I have an opinion, as if I have feelings and emotions. But in truth I am merely acting on the data others provide. An organic machine that feels no compulsions of its own. The emptiness arrives like the tide, but unlike the waves we do not know what causes the push and pull, we cannot time it, it has know schedule, the majority of the existence of this phenomenon is unknown to us. All that is certain is that it will come and it will pass. And you won't know. Yes, you can never tell when I am empty.

Distraction

desperately searching for meaning

in a language i don’t understand

tear my hair out from the stress

but let nobody take my hand

to guide me out of this confusion

i will do it by myself

succumbing to my sweet delusions

i admit it; I need help

but my husband calls me sweetly

and i know i’ll never leave

like a caged lark; I keep singing

trapped by choice in fantasy

Random Draco Thoughts:

The #Emoji Movie is an advertisement for the #iPhone X. An emoji with a more accurate range of facial expressions?

Maybe because it can recognize your face!

Be more expressive and unique. Buy our over priced phone.

I think the face mapping emoji thing was a pretty clever idea in theory (especially with that movie=ad theory in mind; it conveys the product idea pretty well if you look at it as an ad displaying the functionality of the device), and would have potentially been pretty fun if we’d had a better mindset going into things. And the whole thing didn’t look like a pandering cash grab.

Also thinking about a message that you can take away from the film when you look outside of the blatant advertisements, I’ve found this: being unique or different is only a problem until you understand how to use that difference to improve things overall. Gene’s unique “ability”, I suppose, was seen as an upgrade in the end, the tool they needed to learn to use to solve the problem. It’s a more interesting, less angry perspective.

And shouldn’t we choose the more positive outlook seeing as, from the cash grab perspective, the “bad guys” already won? Both products made a good deal of money, which is all these particular “villains” would care about. Negate the “evil” by looking from a refreshing point of view. The movie is an ambitious project by that was executed horribly and had the potential to be good if it had perhaps a different mind behind it. It’s sad that it just came across as a contemptuous cash grab and that the possible connected product failed in its initial presentation as well. The whole thing could have gone a lot better, from this perspective. 

[Gods, it’s hard to post after um... let’s say breaking character. Even so, there was supposed to be a point in that rambling. Sony, regardless of my theory, attempted to make an excessively relatable movie without knowing their audience and failed. But the attempt to admonish them seems to have failed, so why not shift your P.O.V. See it for the potential and don’t take it too personally. I guess...]

I love my random little thoughts they’re fun to follow. I’ll probably laugh at this later.

candy cane cavities

snow tastes like dancing at two in the morning, holding your hands as the night sky promises a white christmas

bare trees taste like the soft scrape of snowboots against the concrete between the ice we carefully weaved through while laughing as brightly as the white winter sun

icy nights taste like cuddling on the futon wrapped in the warmest, softest blankets in the house and saying everything we can think of with every barrier down

white-grey skies taste like walking while the wind spins leaves in little twisters all around us and I hold your hand in my coat pocket

biting winds taste like your face pressed against my back and your arms wrapped around me as we march along

holidays taste like sitting on the roof watching the moon and talking and drinking rum and coke and laughing and smiling at you

winter tastes like missing you

[dracoregno]

hum

you 

in all that you are

complete me

to perfection

we match

better companions than

any pair you could dare to think of

you and me

me and you

what could be better

i don’t know

because we’re already in heaven

humming the song the angels say means love
