Frazzled

between Weltschmerz und Hopecore

[frazzledlife]

Being brave and overcoming your fear of failure ... and then failing anyway.

I want to make 1 single painting this year. Just 1. And it will be good

[frazzledlife]

It will... I like this goal. I will make it my own. Let's check in at the end of the year.

[frazzledlife]

Btw... I did not do it. Not one single painting. I started a few, but finished none. Oh well. I'll try again this year (which is already half over and I haven't done anything)

If people you love echo the worst things you think about yourself.

I don't even know whose job it was to teach people this, but did they just stop teaching people what a bicycle bell means?

One would think that hearing a very distinct, clearly audible, reasonably loud and rapidly approaching sound of any kind would make any reasonable mammal turn to look at the direction of the sound, just purely by instinct?? If a deer heard something nearby go DING DING DING DING DING DING at its general direction, it would at least look up to see whether the source of the sound is a threat or not? Just a quick "is that something I need to be concerned about?" type of glance.

The enshittification of pedestrians has reached the point where they have less traffic survival skills than deer.

[homunculus-argument]

How exactly does one slow down and weave around pedestrians who are blocking the entire way in a formation in which it would be impossible to pass them even on foot without elbowing one or two?

[nerdyinfluencertastemaker]

This is literally why we need bike lanes

[homunculus-argument]

The pedestrians ignoring the bike bell are on the bike lanes.

Why do I have to pay 2,20 € for gas. I don't even want to go by car.

He brought me flowers. This time they were bought for me and not a re-gift.

i want to be gentle but im so full of anger

[castizell]

early adulthood is just like. i'm at a friend's apartment. i'm learning how cars work. i'm kissing a stranger. i'm buying a coloring book with my groceries. i've never been happy. maybe i should call my mom. i'm online shopping. this is the happiest i've ever been. i sleep with a stuffed animal. i have to go to bed early because i have work tomorrow. my calendar is empty and it feels full. i can stay up as late as i want. i'm scared of everything. i tried a new restaurant today. i'm free.

you wanna know how your grandparents “worked through” their problems and didn’t divorce?

cause ya grandmama most likely didnt have her own assets or income and depended on your grandfather to support her and the family. she had no choice but to work it out. also the stigma a divorced woman would face? pfffffffft.

trust me alot of yalls grandfathers are/were awful people and your grandmother wouldve left him if she could

I don't need your help

with taking the kids to the playground

with buying them ice cream

with movie nights

and all the other fun things.

I need your fucking help

with keeping track of their shoe sizes

with the paperwork for their therapy

with deciding on what's for dinner tonight

and all the other things that feel like work.

Kids these days are NOT eating their fiber ffs

[frazzledlife]

It is not that I can't ask for help. It is more that I don't want to. I don't want to appear incompetent or weak. I don't want to owe you. I don't want to be rejected and disappointed again.
