I've got to look up every possible way to sew hidden, concealed and non-obvious pockets and other such storage caches in all of my clothing, and then have as many of those as I can fit in every item in my wardrobe. Trying to get as much hidden storage space on my person as possible. Carrying around a backpack's worth of shit without carrying a bag of any sort.

Getting bored while waiting for the bus and just casually pulling a goddamn sewing kit out of my sleeve to start doing needlework on my jeans, like hey hold on where the fuck did you just pull that shit from. Equipping shit from my secret inventory.

Hammer space but it's a pocket specifically located on your left calf. Neat :D

some problems are so humiliating the only solution is to solve them yourself and then continue to never talk about it

[torschlusspanikattack]

downside of this is you can never tell anyone when you’ve made huge progress or had a huge breakthrough bc you’re either keeping the problem to yourself or you’re pretending the problem is already solved and then rapidly working to make that statement true by the time anyone checks

honestly given my parents whole [gestures vaguely] i am actually incredibly well adjusted

[redstonedust]

im bad to argue with because i have jesters blood if you misintepret me i'll just go along with it. when i was a teenager i was trying to explain the concept of the heterosexual default to someone and they were like "so you think everyone should become bisexual?" and i was like. what the hell sure. lets have legally enforced bisexuality. i'll die on a hill for the bit dont fuck with me.

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

some tech bro just had the audacity to ask me why i dont upgrade my 30 year old sewing machine. dude. i know we're all horny for the circuit boards but can you let me enjoy a truly analog and clunky machine for once? maybe not everything needs to connect to the internet. it does not need a screen. i can service it without a voltimeter. you're a fake machine enjoyer. leave my office.

[i-am-a-fish]

I just want to love and be loved. why is lunch twelve dollars now

there is absolutely no shame whatsoever in using a shower chair. there's no rule that says you have to shower standing. stop ignoring the pain. get yourself a shower chair. please.

THE TRUTH: art is inherently manipulative and artists are wicked evildoers who like to power trip off of controlling other people's emotions

I saw a video today from a chronically ill woman about the fact you can feel so guilty when doing fun things.

She talks about how, as a kid, you learn to finish work before you can play and that you take this with you into adulthood. So you keep the mindset of having to finish 'have to' tasks/chores before being allowed to 'play'.

But when you're chronically ill, this is literally impossible! If you'd do that it would be all work and never play. That wouldn't be healthy at all. We need to remind ourselves of this. We don't need to feel guilty for doing something fun!

dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.

there is nothing badass about not taking an ibuprofen when you need it

[kosmogrl]

I will probably get through this just like I have gotten through everything before but I need to be really stressed and scared first

Thanks for the book recommendation but I am actually reading all texts chronologically and geographically by region. Currently on 4th century BC in western China. No, no, not an intimidating undertaking. Very interesting stuff. Lots of in-fighting in the royal family. Many princes to keep up with. I’m sure I’ll eventually get around to the Americas and read my way to that Colleen Hoover book you suggested.

i wouldn't have to deal w all of this if i was a tree

[aropride]

they should let me design houses. my qualifications:

hyperfixated on drawing floor plans when i was 9

hyperfixated on hgtv when i was 16

"measure twice cut once" is WASTED TIME. i operate on the clearly superior "eyeball it and cut 3 to 5 times until it looks right"

i will NOT check my math (wasted time)
