those who have “people who are unaligned/neutral/don’t interact with politics (16+)” in their DNIs fail to realize that there are people who have trauma and/or are otherwise triggered by news and media, me thinks
people can have opinions and still be unaligned politically due to its stressful and panic-inducing nature and it’s not a bad thing, me also thinks
just two months ago, i was almost completely immobile; barely able to move without searing pain. i was stuck with the left side of me broken. i was glued to a chair to sleep on and spend every day and night in. i was left without being able to play the new game i waited a year and a half for. i was devastated on all fronts.
today, i leveled up my Splatoon 3 catalog to level 100.

this badge may not mean much to most, but to me? it’s special. it means i can conquer (almost) anything i set my mind to and struggling is sometimes how you get to achieve things.
I know my mom hates for me to be in pain, I see it in her eyes, but this so much more she could do. She won't do anything that would make my visually stand out though. And at this point it's my only option.
