i think it is important to recognize the ways in which your favorite thing sucks. i think it keeps u normal

god i never told you guys but a couple weeks ago at work i heard a guy say, and i closely paraphrase, "So I was out with my partner--republicans hate it when i say that. My heterosexual partner Jessica--" and i was straight up crying before he finished his sentence. fully diegetic convergent linguistic evolution live in the workplace

Doctors are like: ughhhhh. You're confusing. Come back if you die

for like a decade I kept getting the advice of "don't ruminate" but also "sit with your emotions" and I was like What The Fuck Does That Even Mean. until someone finally explained it in a way that makes sense:

so there's the emotional part of your brain ("I'm embarrased") and then there's the storytelling part ("all my friends hate me and I'm a piece of shit"). when people say "don't ruminate" what they mean is don't feed the storytelling part

you tend to the emotion ("I'm feeling x. why am I feeling that? how do I move forward given that information? what's something nice I can do for myself right now to cope with this?") but you treat the storytelling part like a little goblin that's trying to be as unhelpful to this whole process as possible. this doesn't shut the storytelling goblin up completely, but it keeps it from causing so much chaos and over time it stops talking so damn much

it's basically like if you were trying to comfort a friend. you'd validate their emotions, but you wouldn't sit there and let them call themself a piece of shit. do that for yourself

sharing this in case someone else is also like Why Didn't Someone Just Say That

"this is unbecoming of me" is genuinely a useful thing to have in your mental toolbox

Inspecting my grean

I love you, you have good takes. But your posts are the only content on my feed. I unfollowed you, it was sad, but I saw a variety of content again. Yet, about 8 weeks later, present day, you are still unfollowed by me but you are somehow my entire dash again. What are you ?

I am inevitable.

I think about this drawing every single time I'm doing something badly. Whatever I am doing, at least I'm not destroying things.

Do you really think it's fair of you to hate your parents for making you exist?

I think everyone should hate my parents for making me exist.

Hey does anyone have suggestions on how do I make myself stop eating my own weight's worth of chocolate cereal every single day. Entertaining both good and bad ideas. Not having it in the house is not an option.
