in all seriousness it's very alienating knowing theres Something Wrong With You. like seeing your mental illness come through in your behaviour and thought processes and knowing it's irrational and unhealthy, knowing other people are reading you as weird or stupid, and not being able to do anything about it is such a lonely experience
biden could have called for a ceasefire months ago. let it be known now and forever : america is no hero. we all watched the us veto every single appeal to stop the barbaric slaughter of innocent lives. but it only took three foreign nationals, three white people, and not the 30,000+ Palestinian lives gone...

somehow, amazingly, i have hacked the impulse that makes me mindlessly scroll on my phone. it's not gone but i've paired it with a conscious thought process that goes like, "what's my goal here? i'm looking for entertainment, for information, for something that makes me feel more optimistic and interested in the world i live in..."
and because that kicks in between apps, too, i'm not doomscrolling as much. i'm intentionally seeking out posts or videos or whatever that actually mean something to me. when i'm not satisfied i walk away or pick up a book instead. most subtle yet impactful change i've gone through in years
i did not intentionally set out to change this. i've just been working on my mindset in general. hey, turns out having a good therapist again helps
ive known about this song for a while but i heard it again the other day and now that i’ve read dungeon meshi it reminds me of laios a lot so i like the song a lot more now
