i've been focusing deeply on not giving a shit about what people think. if i notice my thoughts going down that path, then i shut them down. i'm not trying to read anyone's mind. i'm just going to be myself and try my best. if i fuck up, then i fuck up. if i look stupid, then i look stupid. everyone looks stupid, sometimes. it's so much more important to be yourself earnestly and passionately, in all of your stupid glory

Whenever an ugly feeling arises in me, maybe resent, greed, insecurity, etc. I just have to laugh and think to myself, this is what being alive is and I don’t deny my capacity for ugliness, in fact I store my faith in it because that same awareness of my own ugliness is the place I go to when I am aware of my own beauty. I have all the time in the world to sort it out, that’s the thing with self trust. I don’t hide from others and I don’t hide from myself, where there is ugliness I observe it and I don’t turn away.

People who deny their own ugliness, turn away from it, find shame in it and then pretend that they aren’t ashamed are the ones with the deepest capacity for cruelty. Time to see yourself clearly and move forward anyways.

I need people to understand that sometimes autism is just this

It's funny to me that I've got friends who support me and share every post I make about my book and have multiple copies but my own family hasn't even bought my first book, let alone showed any interest in it.

But I'm a bad person for not wanting to spend the holiday with them even though they clearly don't care.

It's a collection of short stories that has it all! Takes off love at first sight and prophecies coming true are all included in this fantastical adventure by me! Order yours off Amazon today! (If you order in the next few days you're guaranteed to get it before Christmas!)

Gonna get myself a fun little surprise I guess

hellenhighwater

This is better than I'd ever hoped for, I bet a rat could kill you with that thing by firing a laser back in time and electrocuting your grandfather

Just look at this thing

hellenhighwater

The rat gun is hereeeeee!

hellenhighwater

This is getting notes again so I will admit that "rat gun" was an autocorrect error and it was supposed to be "ray gun."

But it'll always be a rat gun to me.

The most expensive thing in these pictures was the cat, and he was $60.

hellenhighwater

I'll be honest--I forgot that the pump organ desk/bar was visible in the background, and it was NOT under $60.

It was actually $75.

The chairs, however, were paid for in human life. I inherited them; they were originally my great grandmother's. But they're not particularly rare-- you can find these exact chairs without a lot of effort, in reasonable shape, for not that much money. They made a lot of them.

That's Hadrian. He's a bush buck and he loves fashion.

Hi you asked this question and I immediately went to the pottery studio to make a calcifer to put in my woodstove.

Will update if he survives the kiln.

theshitpostcalligrapher

i am still on tenterhooks vis a vis calcifer 🥺🥺🥺

hellenhighwater

I just brought him home from the pottery studio and wired him for light. He lives!!!!!

OP just wondering do you like have the closet to Narnia tucked in there somewhere?

hellenhighwater

Dude, c'mon, these things take time.

Give me a couple hours.

Okay!! We have doordrobe! It's not quite done but after nearly turning myself into an hellpancake while carrying this in from the garage to the house, I feel like I should call it a night.

Right now it's not going into a secret room (but the Angel of Death (And WiFi) behind it does have a secret compartment for my router? Does that count) but Malice and Vice are still exploring it like it's a whole new world.
