together we will create a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no holes punched into the walls so hard that the foundation rocks and cracks. our home will be gentle, it will be warm. i will keep you safe and you will keep me still. no fear, no hurt, no worry. we come from broken and twisted places but together we will build something whole and safe. we will curl around each other like a pair of quotation marks at night, warm and comforted. in the mornings, you’ll sing in the shower again. we will heal, and we will raise a family that doesn’t need to heal.

“it’s okay to disagree” is for things like “i like chocolate and you like vanilla” not for whether or not people deserve fundamental human rights, what the fuck

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!

The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!

This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!

there’s a misconception that grief only happens when we lose people. this is not true. we can grieve circumstances, relationships, missed opportunities. in fact, sometimes when you find yourself plagued with waves of emotion from sadness to melancholy you may be grieving yourself. the version of yourself that you might have been if things had been different, or if only you had said something, or if someone had stood up for you.

The only thing that is helping my brain produce serotonin right now is the song Champagne High by Sister Hazel and that says a lot about me I think

Is it depression or is it high school?

Sometimes you just need to eat a little container of instant Mac and cheese noodle by noodle and that’s ok

Why do people have kids if they don’t want to accept all of the responsibility that comes with kids? You did this so you can’t complain now.

I was just thinking about how I really wish I had someone to talk to about my problems because I can’t handle them on my own anymore and I was just like wow ok I am describing a therapist, I need a therapist

you ever get pissed off by somebody’s mindset? like damn.. you really think like that?

Honestly what makes me the most angry is that the most vulnerable people, ie the elderly, are still going out in public to completely unnecessary places and making all of our efforts to make things safe for them absolutely fucking useless. Like I’m sorry boomer but your iced americano is not a necessity and you need to stop because I am not quarantined at home most of my day so you can ignore everyone else’s efforts to keep you healthy. It’s fucking rude Karen, go home and maybe let’s try a little self sacrifice for once because your coffee can wait.
