beyond grateful for the people that are surrounding me in my life, just as i am grateful for the people i’ve parted ways with, for without them, i would not be the person i am today.

#i have left so many people throughout my life #and #if someone would ask me if i’d regret any choice i’ve made i would say no #i regret hurting people yet i wouldn’t change a thing if i could #without the suffering the sacrifices and the lessons i would not be the person i am today that i can finally say i’m proud of #whenever i read the question “would you want to be your friend if you’d meet yourself?” deep down my answer was no #i was a good friend and i always tried my best to be there for everyone #but i was so blinded and overwhelmed by my pain that i tried so hard not to project on others that it was exactly the thing i’ve done #i was extremely caring sensitive loving and selfless but my ”bad“ traits were just as extreme #my emotions were so overwhelming that they were scattered all over the place that it didn’t allow me to have any control over them #i used to be so terrified of being alone. all i’ve felt was a great loneliness that was residing within me #until i’ve gathered the strength to leave an entire friendgroup with people that meant the world for me #they weren’t good for me anymore just as i wasn’t for them #since that day i’ve grown a lot i became a better and healthier version of myself #i learned how to be alone and to find the peace in it and in myself #all i’ve had was Allah swt. and He is all i will ever need.#without the hardships in terms of friendship i wouldn’t have been able to learn how to be alone and love and enjoy it #without it i could not say that i could easily give up the people in my life #i could if i had to bc i have Allah swt.#but i’ve learned how to choose and to choose the right people #i don’t need you and never will but i choose you bc i want you in my life and i think that makes it so much more special #i can finally say that i love the person i am today and can’t wait to see myself grow even more as the cycle of growing is never ending #I still have so much to learn and I will let it come to me with open arms #an open mind and an open heart #above all the most precious gift i’ve earned is to learn how to have tawakkul.#everything that happens every trial that is afflicted upon us has meaning #and it’s beautiful.#being able to pick out the khair in everything is the biggest blessing #alhamdulillah for the things that bruised my soul alhamdulillah for the things that mended it #alhamdulillah for everything bc truly; Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.

sometimes it feels like stealing valor to say I’m chronically ill bc I don’t have One Big Thing wrong with me just a small cluster of chronic disorders, but sometimes I think about the fact that I need 2-3 specialists and a minimum of 4 daily medications to function enough to hold down a job and friendships and I just cannot believe people’s bodies and brains just… work.

#my neurologist gave me a referral to a pain specialist today bc after 6 years I’m still having a minimum of 8 migraines a month #and they can’t figure out why #they were like ‘do you have neck and jaw pain’ and I’m like ‘yes every day of my life sometimes my jaw pain is so bad I can’t chew’#and like. I know that’s not normal but to me I’ve lived with it for so long that just like #I believe that my body will always be in like 2-4 level pain #I’ve had this kind of pain since I was like 12/13 and everyone told me I was too young to have back and neck pain #so I just figured that everyone was in this kind of pain and every time I learn that’s not true I’m shocked and I never learn my lesson #tho I think part of it is that I’ve been living with my pain for so long it’s the background noise of my life and it’s just my normal #I don’t think to fix my normal #ren speaks

#today was a little stressful only because i still had to learn the university's layout because its really huge #and then i got on the bus really late because it didn't show up but at least i wasnt late (i was but my teacher didn't mind)#but the last subject was so stressful because i had to walk to the other side of the uni to get there and I didn't know that place well #i was 30 minutes late but teacher wasn't bothered and even if i missed a bit of the lesson- this was covered in my senior high so... im safe #travelling took awhile because nic and i took a detour to the mall and cool off there #then i got out of the bus sleepy and wobbling back and forth til home wuwuggwuu #lessons were ok tho :] ate lunch with my friend #i will nap now and play some gameplay or stageplay to fall asleep to #so glad i'm off tomorrow #im hungry but I can't muster the strength to get up and eat dude😩😩😩😩#irl banter

im so annoyed with everything today, i think i need some tasty food and a million hours of sleep and then I'll be back to normal

#the teacher at the first class today was so dibsjdhdhdhdhsgs 😫#like she was teaching us things that are like unrelated to the class that shes teaching so idek why she was teaching it #but also its things that we have been learning since the 1st semester and we've done them in at least 10 classes and she was acting like #this was the 1st time we were hearing about it #like oh yeah we're on the 7th semester of studying nutrition but no one bothered to tell us how many calories are in a gram of fat #and she gave us homework 'to see if we know this' like #oh yes i can make a meal plan for a child with crohns or cystic fibrosis or celiac disease or everything else we've done this semester and #all the other semesters but i guess i cant tell you what micronutrients are in this one breakfast meal #like fuck off and stick to what you're supposed to be teaching #anyway i know im getting more annoyed than i should but she was just even more annoying than usual today #like she interrupted the lesson every 5 minutes to yell at someome to be quiet i wasnt even aware there were people talking until she yelled #anyway #also my new earphones aren't working well idk why ive definitely not been mistreating them that much for them to break in less than a month #like i had my old pair for at least 4 years until the broke and i dont think the wire got cut in them like the sound was coming out weird #but there was sound coming out. in the new ones you need to hold them in a very specific angle for sound to come out #and like im careful with how i put them away so what is up with them?#my theory is that they make wired earphones shitty on purpose so that you will spend a lot of money and buy wireless #also we had said from Tuesday that we would hang out with my friends today but i guess they forgot or idk and they made other plans #(to go home and sleep) and during the weekend the one friend wont be here and next week my family will be here so we probably wont hang out #again until next year and we have exams almost immediately so we wont be hanging out much then either #also my period is supposed to come soon and i hope that it will either come today or it will wait until after Christmas #ideally it will never come ever again but we cant always get what we want #anyway im gonna go eat the rest of my μεσογειακό and go take a nap #jo says stuff #personal ramblings

i remember quite a long time ago when i was like 8 and i was at my grandma's house crying about something small and i was so confused why i was so upset about it. my grandma said "well, you might be angry about a lot of things right now, and it's all building up" and i sat there thinking that that was the most idiotic thing i've ever heard. but like. 10 years later and i'm in the exact situation she was describing.

#mine #personal #also turns out i was just still upset about my cat daisy dying recently at that point so my grandma was right lol. i didn't realize she was #right until later. but i've realized over the years that she has taught me a lot of lessons that still help me a lot today.#she taught me that naming ur emotions can help u process + express them n how to be still and quiet like physically mentally emotionally an #spiritually. like her and i would sit on her living room couch together and for like 10 minutes we wouldn't talk. at all. we would close ou #eyes and take deeps breaths and then after a while go back to what we were doing. i thought this was all very dumb and meaningless when i #was a small child but the lessons i've learned from her have actually helped a LOT over the years when it comes to dealing with negative #emotions and difficult situations. i have some confusing mixed feelings about her (personal family related reasons) but i'm honestly #really thankful for her. i miss her a bit tbh.

day 5 progress (first two, technically taken today because i didnt take pics before i went to bed yesterday) + day 6 (last two) !!

as predicted, i WILL need an extra day of work to finish crocheting this, but she is SO big and SO gorgeous i am really proud of myself. she's 49 inches big right now (measuring from the center to one of the peaks). im measuring in inches because thats what the pattern does. so for anyone else wondering what the FUCK 49 inches are in cm: approx 124.50cm. thats how big she is right now. yay!!! cant wait to keep crocheting tomorrow. HOPEFULLY i won't need to extend it another extra day, but i wouldn't be surprised if i did have to.

#txt #crocheting #im really proud of myself. i cant wait for it to be done so i can take pretty pictures of it. and i cant wait to make one for myself bc.#oh my god she's really really gongeous. i worked quite a bit out of the house today too which was really refreshing.#someone on the train saw me and mother doing fiber arts (mother was knitting. i was obv crocheting) and was telling his gf/wife about how #he had fiber arts lessons in prison. it felt lowkey weird bc we were RIGHT THERE and he was like “OBV i didnt WANT to learn” but like. idk.#knowing theres fiber arts lessons in some prisons is like. kind of nice in a way? like. he was talking abt how they had so many #creative outlets and like. idk. obv prison isnt nice but im glad they had SOME sort of creative outlet. i think everyone needs one #anyways. i'll stop yapping for now

Lessons My Favorite Characters Taught Me

Cardan: how others treat you has no bearing on your worth as a person. you did the best you could with the soil you were planted in.

Jude: you are still worthy of love even if you had to lose integral parts of yourself to survive

Rhys: “he is not what love looks like,” is what Rhys whispered into my subconscious while reading ACOMAF.

Feyre: see every part of yourself and love all of it, every weakness and every fear. that is where your true strength lives.

Elain: you decide what’s good for you, no matter if everyone expects something else entirely. similarly, the situation isn’t what defines you, it’s what you make out of it that does.

Azriel: your perceived weaknesses can be your strengths. you are more than the circumstances life gave you.

#if self indulgent were a tumblr post #whatever I’m in my feels today #and I was thinking about lessons learned #and to be honest I was in such a strange zombie state for so long that I hadn’t read anything in years #and ACOTAR is what woke me up to *a lot* of things #from there I started reading and creating and distancing myself from abusive situations #and this is why I love storytelling!#the characters feel alive sometimesssss #But yes this is what I was thinking about when I saw the doe in the field

#i don't know what i thought when i agreed to go to this 60-people birthday party of a family member today #60 fucking people when i can't even be in the same house with my family where i know everybody #god it was such a bad idea #but at least i went there and tried to be there #but as soon as i saw how many people were there i was like “okay i'm out i won't go in there and sit down and eat with 60 people”#i just couldn't. nope. i don't even know most of them that well.#i feel so bad for telling my father to bring me home but maybe it wasn't too big of a problem for him because it was a three minute car ride #or so. so nothing too long. hopefully he doesn't hate me for it. because i know he doesn't like that i don't like to be among #a lot of people. he didn't really say anything but i saw it on his face when i asked him to bring me home...#but at least i learned my lesson #my useless posts

Assorted Thoughts about the Greater Boston Season 4 finale

I'd assumed that Leon would 'move on' at the end of Season 5, the end of the podcast as a whole. But now we're going to have a whole season of the podcast without him. It's strange to imagine. There's never been a Greater Boston podcast without Leon Stamatis. There's never been a city of Red Line without Leon Stamatis. We began Season 1 confronting the gap that Leon left behind. We learned that he wasn't quite as gone as we might have thought, but there was still the loss, the grief, the consequences of his death. In an interesting narrative symmetry, at the beginning of Season 5 we'll have to confront him being more fully, completely gone. But I think we'll continue to see the ways in which his life and afterlife have rippled outwards.

~~

Immediately after Nica said Leon had brought people together "like a family", Louisa exclaimed that she needed to call Michael. I can't help wondering if it was Nica's comment that triggered that thought for Louisa. I'm emotional about Michael being family for Leon, Michael being family for Louisa, Michael being someone who was brought into Louisa's life by Leon…

~~

There were two moments of Nica and Dimitri sitting with Gemma in the middle of them holding the crystal ball. First, in the back of Lucia's car, when Nica reached out to touch the ball and Dimitri took her hand instead. Second, on the Ferris wheel as they prepared to say goodbye to Leon. Leon was in the middle between his two siblings - he is what divides them and he is what unites them. They held hands over him, finding awkward togetherness in the presence of their loss, stopping each from succumbing to that loss. Leon was in the middle between his two siblings, but he also wasn't; it was Gemma occupying that space for him.

On a related note, I can't help but wonder whether the Stamatis siblings had habitual positions when they'd sit in the back of a car together as children. I think that's a fairly common sibling thing, and it seems likely that it would appeal to the order-loving Leon. I can't decide if it makes me more emotional to imagine that they usually sat with Leon in the middle like that, or to imagine how they sat on that ferris wheel wasn't their typical childhood order.

~~

The lack of narration and the high number of monologues from a range of characters this episode meant that sometimes I wasn't initially sure whether a scene was an interview snippet from a real person or a monologue from a character. I think there's something significant in that blurring of reality and fiction, in real stories of loss mixed with the fictional. Those interviewees are a part of this story, or this story is a part of our world too.

~~

I loved Michael's mantra being spoken by the group, with each person taking one word. For Michael, that sequence of numbers was a way of asserting his own agency in spite of circumstances and his ideas about his nature. It was a way of saying 'my choices matter, even if I can't change the outcome'. And this moment showed how that idea can be upheld within through community and togetherness.

Michael spoke the word "Eight". And perhaps he wanted other people to take over, trusting that the people around him would complete his mantra, believing that they'd understand what he needed in that moment. Or perhaps he was intending to speak the mantra by himself until Louisa interrupted to support him. Either way there's a uniquely powerful kind of choice made against an indifferent world - the choice for people to stand against that world together. It's a contrast with Michael's often self-isolating tendencies for that mantra to become a shared thing.

#Greater Boston #Greater Boston podcast #I was going to make these into separate posts but I don't want to flood the tag or people's dashes #And I'll probably have more thoughts about this later #I listened to the last half hour of this episode on my way to work today #because I have not learned my lesson about being emotionally devastated by GB right before I need to do work #But anyway I mistimed it slightly so I had to take a bit of an extra walk around the block to experience the ending #Btw I thought about the Stamatis siblings maybe having habitual seats in the back of a car #because me and my brother have always sat on the same sides when we're in the back of a car together #For us it's the ghost of a sticker I had on the window of our family car when we were kids #That car is long gone but I still sit on the right in the back of a car #I imagine Leon might have been in the middle because Dimitri and Nica would want to look out of the window and would be more restless #And Leon was a generous big brother #Urgh the idea that he's properly past tense now 😭#greater boston spoilers #Greater Boston podcast spoilers #the empty man posteth

One of the most beautiful things Deltarune story has is the fact that you cannot remove its tragedy, because it's thru that very same that hope and love is born. You cannot change the past but you can take what you learnt and thru it build a brighter future.
