seasonal depression, ma’am? 🤧

i got the first outlander book one christmas and my GOD it pissed me off. long as fuck, repetitive as fuck, and honestly the whole time i was reading like i need someone to kill either of these characters i've never hated any characters more. i think the tv series makes them slightly more likeable but only SLIGHTLY

i also tried to read the book once because i saw the author say somewhere so smugly that no one has ever put her books down. and girl did i put that book the fuck down. lol. the show is sooo campy and ridiculous and every single character makes the dumbest decisions possible. claire should have died a million times through her own stupidity. but it’s fun to watch with a glass of wine and bitch about it with my roommate. we can only get through two episodes max in one sitting and then we have to take a break for a month

i hope this isn't coming across as too parasocial lol but i saw this tiktok about a wedding cake guillotine and it made me think of you

i agree nobody should die except tr*mp

been sitting on this one and i’m going to be honest — i don’t agree. you can’t make exceptions lest they become the rule. do i want natural causes or perhaps a single actor to take care of this and quickly? yes. would it make me so happy were there to be a public event à la une guillotine? oui. but if you allow the state to do that once they can do it again, and that should never be a precedent.

re: writing good again. i hate to say, but you gotta be the change you need in your life. separate yourself from your laptop or phone and write what you see, what you like, what you want, but you gotta write. go write at the cafe you like !!! ask the baristas for inspo !!!!!

sighhhh you’re so right. thank you for the push — i’m going to go to the coffee shop on monday when i’m off and just write. i have to try or stop wanting it !!!

I’m genuinely concerned for you rn. Have you been to therapy bc getting entangled with someone almost right after an unresolved toxic relationship is really not a good idea… don’t take this as criticism pls <3

lmaoooo it’s been over a year since we broke up. i have spent plenty of time alone since then, building myself back up, and consciously chose to start dating again. we are taking it very slow. appreciate the concern but it’s all good and very healing <3

what are 4 pieces of advice that you would give to someone at this time in your life, like with what you have learned thus far

the x-ray tech came to get me as i was answering this and obviously my day turned south after that but wow this is such a good question!!!

1. be kind to yourself for your feelings. i think a lot of miscommunication, self-hatred, and general internal and external conflict comes from judging ourselves for our feelings. or judging the feeling itself! but feelings don’t have a moral. learn how to sit with them without taking them as fact. be curious, accept that you’re feeling some type of way, and navigating it will get a lot easier.

2. you’re stronger than you think. you love yourself more than you think. every time you try again; every time you get up even when it’s really hard; every time you wish for better, happier, more—that’s your strength and love and hope manifesting. learn to recognize them when they appear.

3. now is the only time we have.

4. choose yourself. you are the only person, the only ally, the only friend, the only lover, that you will always have. for the rest of your life. the only one. treat yourself like one. don’t betray yourself—not to be loved, not to be accepted, not to meet others’ expectations. if something inside you is screaming “this is not me” or “i want something else” then it is imperative that you have the bravery to choose that for yourself.
