we need to stop equating lack of independence with lack of maturity. people that live with their parents or have a caregiver or don't work or need more support than others aren't inherently immature. there's lots of reasons why people would be in this situation, even outside of disability (plenty of cultures out there expect people to live with their parents past what we consider the beginning of adulthood), and regardless of the reason we deserve support and community through what is already likely to be an isolating experience. don't make it worse for us

one of the best ways i’ve found to combat that inherent depressive pessimism without veering into toxic positivity territory is simply the phrase “i’m open to the possibility”

this particularly works with anything negative i’ve forecasted. “i woke up feeling like shit today, so my day is gonna suck” isn’t a particularly helpful thought, but “it’s a great day to be alive!!!!!” feels hollow and insincere when i have a pounding headache & am running on three hours of sleep

instead i’ll tell myself, “i really don’t feel good right now, but i’m open to the possibility that coffee and breakfast might perk me up a bit.” or “i’m in a lot of pain today, but i’m open to the possibility that my workday might still have fun parts despite that”

sometimes, when your impulse is to slam the door on anything good, but you’re not exactly up to going out & hunting it down yourself, leaving the door open just a crack makes all the difference

first week of May spread

it was a week of acquiring a bunch of stuff • a new pair of sneakers (adidas' collab with filipino artist Yeo Kaa) • a secondhand hardback copy of Donna Tartt's The Little Friend (which I got for only P270/~$5) • a copy of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human • C2 Arlecchino! (i saved up for so many months and skipped so many new characters just to get her, if you play Genshin, you know the pain)

Sharing my movie + tv series log for 2024 🌸

I have watched quite a handful of other animes and kdramas but I haven't finished them yet that's why they're not yet logged 😅🤣

i have six and yes it's a bad idea 😂 i only read a chapter of war and peace a day though so i think that doesn't count as much.

Do you also have 5 books you're reading at the same time, or are you normal? 😌

Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.
