#the bar is set so fucking high

i get so frustrated with ppl who wont just fucking help themselvessss. obviously theres a spectrum of pain and subsequent ability when it comes to mental illness but ive known so many people specifically gay people who let themselves live in squalor all while going to therapy taking medication and claiming to take care of themselves. thats the thing self care is NOT doing nothing, self care is actually doing the dishes sorry. its taking the trash out. calling the doctor and making an appointment. being an ADULT. i live with two people in their mid to late 20s who only do a chore once every few weeks and if i ever deign to bring it up i get either aggressive or apologetic responses about depression and struggle. as if im not constantly struggling. i force myself to do things bc they make me feel better… me and you are not all that different. ignoring your human life maintenance or outsourcing it to other ppl is the biggest form of self harm thats become normalized in certain communities

How am I supposed to continue about my normal life after that.

i've been. exceptionally slow at working my way through Spring in Hieron, because i find i'm needing to focus a lot more on work projects than usual.... but the upside of that is that instead of getting emotionally sucker-punched by podcasts in my cubicle, i get to cry over podcasts in the kitchen while getting ready for work in the morning!

(anyway i finished SiH 5 today and was quietly devastated by the Hadrian-Samothes conversation at the end)

Twitter has been on a mass suspension rampage and it keeps on surprising everyone with how godawful the management there had become

badly plagiarizing the most basic spaces possible in regards to revolutionary girl utena so they can mention it in shitty videos and pretend to be a decent source of knowledge on the show despite very obviously never having watched it and opting for said plagiarism instead

does this feeling last forever or just at midnight when you’re 22

[lichfucker]

imagine ghosting me. lmfao. like. ME. imagine having such a good thing right in front of you and deciding "not only do I never want to speak to them again, but I'm not even gonna tell them, I'm just gonna wait for them to figure it out." what a dumb move. I'm getting a banger album out of it. she could've had me and now she's getting nothing. play stupid games, win stupid prizes I guess.

You ever vent to someone and they don’t respond and then as you start feeling better you feel really strong secondhand embarrassment for them?

Like oh no I hope they don’t feel bad for not responding/seeing it til now. Then I get really embarrassed that I have a vent to them that they might feel obligated to awkwardly respond to.

still thinking about the mcr sunrise concert what a blast. went through their entire discography in the car with my mom and had an epiphany about how the black parade is about being gay actually, which makes sense in my head but is so profound i couldn't POSSIBLY explain it and it's certainly not because i'm insane. both openers were fantastic especially midtown (and i respect the lead singer just going "everybody turn your fucking iphone cameras on" and then yelling about how cool it was instead of trying to make it natural so much lmao, it was so funny). i had a suite bc we bought tickets last minute from some guy who watches hockey games there and the suites around us were pretty dry because it was mostly parents and older people who wanted to sit down but OURS was a fucking blast. there was this newlywed couple from jersey in their 20s and a long distance couple from scotland and minnesota in their 40s and they were both super lively and were really nice about having to sit next to a 17 year old and his mom. jersey couple kept screaming every time new jersey was mentioned and started the encore cheer and the end which was fucking awesome. i screamed along to every song and had the time of my fucking life, and our box was the only one on our feet the whole show. also the merch line after the show was super short and we were only in line for like ten minutes because they had a bunch of kiosks and the shirt i got is fucking sick too!!! what an incredible first concert and what an incredible experience in general. i am never going to forget being able to scream my heart out to lyrics that just fucking Get It. so cathartic and ive never felt so understood and so at home among a group of people, also shout-out to the girl who found my phone in the bathroom and gave it back to me ily <3. it was just like, for one night the whole town was taken over by people like me and it was so fucking cool because i'm so used to being the odd one out, both for being trans and just being goth, but i got to be around all these insanely cool people who are happy and healthy adults and just. it gets better it seriously does! what a night. what a fucking night!!!
