YES the last part too! Emotional and mental health are just as important as physical health! That includes making time for yourself and allowing yourself to do things that you actually enjoy.
My mom gets mad at me that I sleep at 3am and wake up for uni at 6:30 on my own personal choice but like bro I study the entire day (until like 1am)--because that's how demanding my program is-- after I wake up, and that's how I cope with how stressful uni is.
I can somehow relate to previous reblog but in a different perspective/situation. I was diagnosed late with ADHD and it's believed to have aided me to develop some kind of perfectionism related to how I was raised (yes, lots of asian countries live up to the perfectionist stereotypes). At 6 to 14 I would stay up to 12am to study, do art, study music, maintain my membership in scholarship groups in school, join the choir and bands, etc. I got so tired of the routine and began to do the "normal" person routines like social media, etc. and I was always punished for it. If my dad saw me using my phone for a minute instead of studying, I literally got ass whooping. The attitude remains in me, obv. The way you grow up leaves a mark. I get mad at myself for very tiny flaws and feeling stagnant in life. But I guess my college program is somehow helping me to understand myself more and lessen these tendencies.
It's sad. During our childhood and adolescent years, we're still learning so much about ourselves and I think it's incredibly mean and aggressive to force children (I think ppl forget teens are children too!) to be busy with their lives this way 24/7 and make them feel guilty for the rest they have the RIGHT to. At this point society makes you feel that rest is a fucking privilege it's insane.
I hope we all learn to be kind to ourselves with the manner that we know, be it laying in bed all day, spending money, eating, etc. all with moderation. Also hope we could break the toxic cycle.
So yes. When you ask me if I'm busy, I am. I am busy cuddling w my dog. Yes I'm busy eating. I'm fucking busy reading smut fics. I'm extremely busy watching tiktoks. Don't bother me again.
“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.
student nurse here. there's a scary trend rn here in my country of people dy!ng of brain aneurysm regardless of age (loads of them being teens to young adults) because they didn't get much sleep and/or they slept during the day and worked like night owls. They just work study work study work study. pls rest and sleep y'all

UM I left home last week (for uni) with my room kinda messy and I've been hiding cardboard bri in there. I came back home today to visit and my room is extremely clean. I hope I didn't give my mom a heart attack
Me: I need to study RIGHT NOW
Also me: *ends up making a life-size 6'2 cardboard Brian May after 14 hours*
As a 154cm girly in an Asian country... he's scary tall. And I'm in love
"we named ourselves Queen because it sounds regal and it's attention grabbing"
You idiots! Do you realise how hard it is to find your merch on second hand websites?! It's hidden in amongst all the "Beauty queen" nightgowns, "King/Queen" wedding sets and and Queen Elizabeth royal Dalton chintzy kitchenware!
I've a better chance of finding horror props for Priscilla Queen of the desert than a Queen t-shirt at this rate.
I DID IT GUYS! I MADE MY OWN QUEEN BLOOPERS VIDEO AFTER MUCH STRUGGLE!
this video is so long because it includes probably every single queen blooper, outtake (plus a couple of other funny moments) that there is, AND it contains new outtakes from the miracle as well so please enjoy it!
See the problem here is that queen fans will be fucking divided again like the previous one unlike jimi so I'm not really mad abt it but like they're all so hot so I'm also not mad abt that. But still...
