If I had to ever pick a protagonist that I myself in the most it would be Kim Dokja (surprise of a century, I am running an ORV blog). But give me a second to rant.

The premise of being kept alive by a story. Surviving abuse just so you can learn what comes next in the book or fanfiction or comic you're invested in. Re-reading the same thing to give yourself comfort. Writing comments to some random author to thank them for their story (bc saying they are the only thing keeping you alive feels like a little bit too much).

And oh the 4th wall. The constant dissociation, being cut off from your feelings. The need to copy someone from a book when you don't know what to do. The feeling of not being worthy of love. Forgetting parts of your abuse up until one day you realize what happened.

Of course we are not the same. I was never hospitalized for my attempts and my dad is a decent guy. But to see someone with a story of abuse thriving, surviving and his pain not seen as too much, talking about suicide attempts not as a dirty secret but something that happened but he survived. I survived. It took years to find people who care about us but we did it. We reconnected with the better parent. We are still here

I've just seen another Facebook outsiders meme. I love you guys but if I see another #punnyboy 4 image meme template I will astral project off this existence.

Ten recent low-tech inventions that have changed the world

Technologies don’t have to be cutting edge to make a profound difference in people’s lives.

DC-power microgrid Solar cells can provide cheap, decentralized electricity. But if you’re plugging them into conventional devices on a normal household grid, there’s a lot of overhead involved in converting the direct current they produce into alternating current and back again. A well-designed small DC network can save a substantial amount of energy by eliminating this need. 

Better woodstoves Deforestation is a major problem in much of the developing world, as is the harm to human health that comes from breathing in the particulate matter in smoke from woodstoves. Better-designed stoves like the Berkeley-Darfur stove use only half as much fuel to cook a comparable amount of food, and they cut the particulate emissions in half as well. 

Simple, effective water filters Hundreds of millions of people around the world lack access to safe water. Simple, cheap water filters use ash combined with silver nanoparticles to filter out impurities and pathogens; they have improved the lives of hundreds of thousands. 

Hippo roller Hundreds of millions of people, usually women, have to walk every day to get enough water for their basic needs and transport it home in buckets. The Hippo roller is a heavy-duty plastic barrel that can be flipped on its side and rolled home, via an attached handle, over rough terrain.

That moment when you finally get enough clarity that you realize you're better than letting people ignore you. Family, friends, whoever. If you choose to ignore me, you're not worth my time.
