“Her arsenal of honesty”

babe where did we pull that from like what

Cause the one thing I can't take.

Is this life you imagined.

Say it's real when it's all fake.

Yeah, it's true, but it's tragic.

How you're all washed out, but you're never clean.

When music stops being mere music, it evolves into the soundtrack of your life.

And that song is no longer just a song. It's a bookmark.

Fuckin hell.

y'all my friend was telling me about how her friend with a 4.2 GPA and 5 labs got rejected for what I want to go into... I was having a crisis about grad school but it looks like that choice might get made for me

if you leave Dan in charge of music for a car ride and then put him on the spot with 'idk just pick something you like' he would simply play orthodox plainchant. now what. listening to troparion liturgical hymns bc your lameass couldn't decide between 15 cardi songs that all sound the same smh

WHY DO I HATE THE THEORY THAT SIMON KILLED STELLA SO MUCH

I WANT TO BLOCK PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY THAT THING IDK WHYYY

I HATE IT FOR NO REASON

OR THAT LABYRINTH IS SIMON HAVING PURE SPAGHETTI INSTEAD OF MIND (basically simon trying to separate the concoction of dementia and craziness)

I don't hate it as much as the other

BUT IT DOESN'T GO RIGHT WITH MY GUTS CUZ I ALWAYS THOUGHT ITS SIMON TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE INFIRMARY

i need to go to my therapist after this

Doctor I am sleep deprived

I suggest sleeping more. Relaxing music works for some. Aroma therapy may help. Putting distractions down work aswell.

i feel like we don’t always talk about the smaller ways that having a dissociative disorder (and not being “out” about it) can really disable a person— i’m in a choir, and idk how to explain to the musical director that SOMETIMES i am a soprano and have no trouble hitting high notes while other times i feel like i physically cannot sing that high. or how sometimes my guitar feels like an extension of my body but sometimes i don’t even remember how i’m supposed to hold it properly. or in art therapy when i only sometimes have access to my adult level of artistic skill while sometimes i have the skill level of a five year old. my dissociative disorder very much disables me, and this is something i don’t see people talking about outside of the ways that PTSD disables those with dissociative disorders. what i mean is that sometimes i do not have the ability to do very basic tasks. dissociative disorders are developmental disorders, and i am very much developmentally disabled much of the time.

i don’t plan on ever being publicly out about my dissociative disorder in a non anonymous setting. i have a hard time even talking about my parts in therapy even to the clinician that diagnosed me with DID. it feels unbearably vulnerable and not safe to tell people about my parts. i feel like we’re seeing more and more people on tik tok start talking publicly about their DID, and while that may be very helpful for them, i honestly can’t imagine ever being fully out with it like that. keeping it secret is what has kept me safe, it is how i survived the last twenty years of my life. my experience with DID also does not line up with most of the DID content i’ve seen online— and i don’t mean this to invalidate those whose experiences are different than mine, it’s just that it can feel really lonely and isolating to have a dissociative disorder that doesn’t fit with the worlds preconceived image of what a dissociative disorder looks like. this is part of why i typically just say that i have dissociative disorder instead of DID.

tldr: dissociative disorders can really impair basic functioning and i feel like people forget that when they focus so much on the parts of DID that are more sensationalized in the media.
