Tagged by @dearmrsawyer. Thank you, hun! It's actually been a while since someone tagged me in something like this, so let's goooo... 💖
Last song: Currently listening to "The Kiss" by Luigi Rubino (from one of my fave sweet and melancholy instrumental piano albums)
Favourite colour: Purple... but I think hot pink is really creeping in on me tbh. The more I detach it from ridiculous and arbitrary gender meanings, the more I love it. I just bought a hot pink bedspread so.
Currently reading: "Shark Heart: A Love Story" by Emily Habeck. Very slowly, because I'm a snail, but I love it. My best friend got it for her book of the month thing recently and lent it to me after she read it because after she told me about it, I was looking at her like 👁 👁 (which is to say that I was extremely intrigued adjkgjkdgd)
Currently watching: Nothing, really. I haven't been in the mood for TV in weeks, so I've just been watching ACNH island tours on YouTube while I eat lunch sometimes and that's about it lol
Sweet/savoury/spicy: Sweet or spicy depending on my mood
Relationship status: Single mom of one dog djakgjkdd
Current obsession: Six of Crows/Shadow and Bone, no contest. If it's not about the Crows (capital C), I don't care. It's been a little over a year since this hyperfixation jumped me in a back alley and you know what, I've never been happier. I've met so many cool people in this fandom, made a bunch of amazing friends, my writing and art is flourishing... so yeah, I'm gonna be living here for a lifetime.
Last thing searched: Either perfume ingredients or how to alleviate rib pain, because I fucked something up in my ribs idk dajkgjkdg
Tagging (no pressure): @finitevoid @jazzythursday @waterloou @nerdlingmerchling @sixofcrowdaydreams @wespertilionidae @tinyarmedtrex @sunfl8wer and whoever else wants to do this!

I start to realise that actually yes, the pillars you've taken for granted, that have convinced you their love is unconditional and that they've somehow seen the depths of your soul have been sold on some lie.
whether they sold it to themselves, whether I made it worse (even when I've always tried to be honest, so honest, because I wanted to believe I could be loved by others), the end result is the same— the image will shatter entirely, gradually or all at once, and then I am alone to deal with myself. my heart will be slashed and hacked into a bleeding thing before that. and then, me. the person i always said I was, that I kept hoping I wouldn't be, that somehow no one else saw but me. I'm always right. I'm always right, no one ever listens to me, they never really listen. you, you are truly sick, you, you are truly rotten, you, you are irrevocably stupid. you are a waste. you are selfish. you are wrong. you are nothing. you are a freak, something unsightly.
I thought I was seen, I thought these people knew something I didn't, because that's how it always is. even if that's not really the case, it usually is, and I never once trusted myself. and I wanted to be worth something; it's comforting to choose to believe praise when it came my way.
but you know. I always said, at least in my heart, take from me. I am lesser. please don't be jealous of me, I would hold your hand as you drove a sword through my heart, I would not resist you, I would gladly submit to you if I could. when you look at me as if I've robbed you of something. I am so, so unworthy, I felt shame so potent in being there. but maybe moreso now that I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I deserved absolutely nothing. I'm not trying to fight you, I want to kneel by your feet and beg for salvation, you to me might as well be a God.

I joined a gym! Since I work evenings, I'm going to go at 6 or 7 am every day. They have a little area where I can dance and warm up, and a lot of machines, and a pool we can use if there isn't a class there. It's super close to my house too.
I'd been able to work out here and there at home, but lately it hadn't been happening at all. I resisted doing this for a long time; I have an irrational fear of spending money on anything unnecessary or that isn't a gift for someone else. That, combined with my shyness, which being screamed at for going on walks in New Jersey in 2020 (from paranoid people across the street no less) wildly exacerbated, made home workouts feel like my only option.
But I finally was able to make the decision to spend money on my fitness and health. Those things ARE necessary, just like food and shelter. It would also be nice to have acquaintances outside of my work and church circles (especially since those have a lot of overlap).
