they should invent a being in your twenties in which you do not feel your life is unsalvageable and ruined

It’s passing like a kidney stone /but it shall pass

Btw, if you have not had tragedy dropped on you before, grief does fuck you up in unexpected and physical ways. If you can’t sleep or sleep more than expected or have more or reduced appetite, or energy goes weird— your brain just had a bunch of emotions dropped on it and sometimes it reacts by hitting every button in your brain. It will pass. Just try to not get too frustrated with yourself.

It’s also fine if you feel normal. Grief literally hits everybody differently, and some people are made to be able to to keep the farm going the day after a death, and some of us turn into sleepless gargoyles and get really into trying to help, and some of us are just unspeakably sad. Grief is weird. Be kind to yourself.

Something else I want to say is that grief is cyclical. It is very common to go "why am I just a wreck today/this week" and then you check the calandar and see that something awful happened at this time last year. Or a couple years ago. Or a decade ago (my decembers are a wash every year).

So if you find yourself having memory issues or unaccountably grumpy or anxious for no reason or however it hits you, be gentle with yourself.

Tumblr is like a bad addiction

I started using it as a 12 year old and would creep here for hours on end.

Finally decided it was too “immature” in my late teens / early 20’s and dropped it

Well. Here we are again, I’m hitting the early 30’s “back to what I used to love as a tween” stage

Guy friend in my class asked me to bring polyfill to class but w won’t tell me what for just that it may catch fire

Should I be concerned

My fav thing is when cops find a crime scene from a young woman and go “aha! She had company over, look at all the dishes in the sink! And TWO wineglasses!”

Just… maybe be aware I do dishes against my will and also will unnecessarily use more than one cup for no reason

If y’all ever find me dead in my place with dishes in the sink, please assume it was just me and my multiple personalities there for dinner

i’ve stopped being mentally ill in the unhappy and always in a crisis way, I am now mentally ill in the mostly stable and happy but there’s clearly something weird going on way

[deadbeatmaker]

the kind where no one is worried about me anymore but everyone knows there’s something wrong with me

[parliamentrook]

yeah

[rotating-fractals]

Yeah same

[rotating-fractals]

Ok hear me out

We don’t punish people for trying to better themselves because you personally are too stubborn / stuck in your ways to do the same

How about we praise and support them and maybe, just maybe, be happy for someone doing the hard thing that you yourself have not worked up the courage to do

Why is it when for other people I can straight up report a fucking professor to the head of the department and write a kick ass email with supporting documentation but if I order a drink and they give me the wrong one I’ll cry asking for the right one

[rotating-fractals]

y’all i ever tell you about the time we were writing a final and the professor just waited beside my seat for me to finish and when i handed him my paper he just sighed and said “i knew you’d be done first”

I was too functional yesterday and to compensate, today I did nothing but sleep
