My girlfriend has been trying to get me to be more demanding and bossy for the duration of our relationship and it’s making me realize that I need a lot more care than I would like to admit

Spent the past few years fixated on achieving the ideal of closure with a series of washed up relationships/friendships because I was trying to be a better person or whatever. But I have solidly come to the conclusion that I should just go back to hitting the bricks immediately when the vibe seems off. Very rarely does talking things out actually do anything. Outcomes seemed less aggravating and heartbreaking for everybody involved when I just went “ok” and went to go do literally anything else

Sometimes you get forcibly washed out of doing union labor because a lot of infrastructure funding is getting throttled when the government decides that they don’t like brown or gay people where you are. and that’s just modern fascism ig

I have few people that I actively beef with, actually. I hope most of you end up okay and do better but I can’t stick around to figure you out. I’ll see you when I see you, and if I don’t then good luck

Forgot that people still use tumblr regularly and then logged back on to see just how miserable I was 5-10 years ago and how marginally things have materially changed for me

I’m hoping next year is kinder to me

but i am an american so i must kill. im order to survive. if i don't kill them i will die. i don't think surviving is wrong. do you think im wrong for surviving? they deserved to die too. so i could live. did you know how difficult it was to kill? if anything i am the victim. the person i killed is gone but i have to carry these scars for my whole life. my life is a blessing on the earth don't you know why aren't you celebrating it? you must be a terrible person. i just thought about killing you.
