Riley, waking up in the middle of the night: why am I randomly anxious?
Anxiety, who accidentally touched Joy’s hand 8 hours earlier losing her shit on the console because for some reason she was trusted on dream duty without a babysitter

I changed my first diaper yesterday, and my best friend sympathetically told me that he would never be able to do that.
But the thing is, it wasn’t bad? I love her and she’s too little to help herself. She needed me. Sure; I’d be singing a different tune at 1 AM or if I were dealing with a blowout, but the act itself of changing my cousin wasn’t unpleasant at all.
And it made me think about how love really is a type of power. I hope that when I see a need, I can get over whatever fears and preferences might hold me back. I hope that I’ll be able to have the same love when an unpleasant need arises from the non-babies in my life.

Hi, sometimes when you need a kid to do things without a full-blown tantrum, it’s just a matter of asking “Do you want to do x or y first?” Like, I know they don’t want to do x or y at all, but sometimes that little bit of agency distracts from the fact that both x and y are not their favorite things.
I mean, it doesn’t always work, but sometimes.

It wasn’t until rewatched every MD episode for the premiere, on the living room TV, that I noticed, Holy Fuck this show would be super gory if they was a people.
And now one of them is….sorta.

feeling incredibly weird and not good.. my mom sent me a message saying to call her when I get a moment and from that I just knew it was bad and someone has died, I was right.. my aunt passed away last night and it doesn’t feel real.. she has no health conditions and was only 41, she died of a heart attack. the paramedics said it was over quickly for her so she didn’t suffer, they knew this because her body was relaxed, her fists weren’t clenched. my cousins are only young teenagers, the youngest one found her but didn’t realise, she thought she had fallen asleep so it was only when my uncle got home two hours later.. he called my mom, his sister, for help. I wasn’t really super close with her but she was always smiling when I saw her, and always asking with such enthusiasm what I’m up to and how I am etc.. it just doesn’t feel real to me because she was so young? and had no known problems with her health.. hmm. ok

I don’t know if this counts as self shipping but I always ‘ship’ my comfort characters with myself in a platonic or familial way? And almost all of my favorite characters are demons so now I’ve got a whole family of demons.
