Honestly I am so sorry for just venting so much on here it’s not healthy and I know I need to work on it I just usually only have those thoughts late at night or other times where it just isn’t feasible to talk to anyone else and by the time therapy time comes around I’m not thinking about it as much.

#untagged #vent #delete later #in other news it is no wonder i struggle so much i take so much after my mom it is insane #also her mom???? amazing human being i have heard three little anecdotes about her being nice to black people #like one time she drank out of a fountain labeled 'colored' because the hired help at home and her drank from the same ladle #and there was this black girl whose parents had been paid for her to be put into the school she taught at for integration #and other people were really fucking mean and she kind of wished her parents hadn't taken the money #but my grandmother let her eat lunch in her classroom and was really nice #and also this one i just learned tonight when she was going to college there was some holiday and some staff member asked her #if she would drive another student back home because the student didn't have a way to get home #the girl was black here too and my granny stopped at a diner and the other girl didn't get out because people of color weren't allowed #and my granny didn't stay in there to eat she went in and ordered to go or takeout or whatever and brought it back out #and the two of them ate together #and she always said while she was teaching that vocational schools should stay part of public educatiod #she isn't dead she's still alive we need to visit her more she got back from the hospital after a health scare #we were worried it was heart stuff but thankfully(?) it was just(?) kidney stones #she had to get surgery so it was still really not fun because she had to be in the hospital for a few days #but she's home now and she's a strong woman *knock on wood*#fuck i love my extended family even if sometimes in person its uncomfortable #but like its just really nice hearing about them #and i am so fucking fortunate to have a mother who just wants me to be happy thanks to her own mother who is just wonderful #one time i made these melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies because the recipe was super simple like 4 ingredients #and my parents bought a new box of butter sticks because they take a lot of butter #and i think i'm going to make a batch soon because baking is nice and i want to bring something to my granny #in other news hitting b every time i level up is very annoying #hopefully i can get some more everstones soon #just got the turffield one and seedot is getting that for sure #not that it's a permanent team member i still have cottonee and applin to pick up #my team so far is grookey oddish seedot budew and pumpkaboo
