when you see your little kitty walking toward you at a leisurely pace and say "hi baby!" bc you're excited to see her and she starts trotting a little bit faster 'cause she's excited to see you too. that's what life is all about i think

okok so i'm normally not this canadian about things, i don't follow hockey but
but
the sens and panthers had an ICE-WIDE fight the other night that ended up shelling out ten min in the sin bin to EVERYONE ON THE ICE WHO ISN'T A GOALIE
youtube
LOOK AT THIS
the two seconds on the ice during the initial release from the penalty box to IMMEDIATELY throw hands
the continual zoom in on the player's grandma
the booting up of eye of the tiger as the refs desperately try to separate players
i cannot believe national hockey sometimes holy shit

I don't want to make ““doctor’s appointments””and ““schedule a follow up.”” I want to be coaxed gently into a crate and taken to the vet.

Mental Crop Rotation
When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.
To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”
So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.
Because I’ve found that when that unnecessary guilt and pressure are removed from the process, a good mental crop rotation can help you feel more energized and invigorated than ever once you’re ready to rotate back to that project.

You know what, I'm coming back to this post because it's been like two weeks and the one comment I got on it STILL bothers the absolute shit out of me.
This person whose name I am not blanking out because they fully said this with their handle attached on my original post, thinks that depression is in your head.
You know, where your brain is.
No fucking SHIT it's in your head. Why in the absolute shitting hell is anyone even arguing that mental illness shouldn't be medicated because it's "in your head." That is literally just as stupid as saying you shouldn't take things like ibuprofen or acetaminophen for a headache because it's in your head. It's IN THE NAME OF THE AILMENT. It is a HEAD ACHE.
Look, dipshit, (not you, my mentally ill friends who have evaluated your options and chosen methods to help yourselves that may or may not involve medication with informed consent) (specifically you, swiftliestuff) your brain needs chemicals to work. Sometimes, you do not have enough chemicals, or the right chemicals, or the correct balance of chemicals. Do you think that stuffing herbs up your nose or deep throating crystals is going to cause your corporeal form to create more of the correct chemicals to help your brain do its job? Do you think that if you think that if people in organ failure think about it REALLY HARD, they can just, IDK, talk their organs into functioning correctly again? Or if you have celiac, you can just concentrate on your intestines and convince them to not be damaged by the gluten in food?
If your answer to the above is "yes," congratulations, you are beyond my ability to tolerate. Now, if you could do us all a favor and shut the FUCK up with your shitty opinions that are not backed by science at ALL, that would be awesome. It costs 0 dollars and none cents to say NOTHING. Do not bother replying, your comment will be removed and you will be blocked.
You know what pisses me the fuck off? People talking about mental health issues and being like "but giving people drugs isn't the best solution."
Why the fuck not? Like, if someone has kidney issues, you give them medication or dialysis. If someone has diabetes, you give them medication--not even just insulin; there are several different types of medication they can prescribe. If someone has high blood pressure? medication. Pain? Medication (unless you're a woman, especially a WOC but let's not get sidetracked.)
We live in a time and place when we can not only save people's lives but also give them better QUALITY of live by prescribing medication...so why the fuck would you NOT EVEN CONSIDER IT as a possible course of action, for you or anyone else, if you have a brain chemical out of whack in your goddamn head?!
Like, are you really telling me it's better that I was an alcoholic before I went on wellbutrin because that was how I was able to escape "chronic suicidal ideation?" Really?
Fuck off. Give me my drugs, and shut the fuck up.

Godspeed, kayak girl.
Sign at the kayak stand: "Please remember the river is not a circle. You will have to paddle back."
Me: Um. That sign is suspiciously specific. Has...has there been an Incident?
Kayak girl: Four times.
Me: How...what happens??
Kayak girl: They paddle too far and then wonder why they haven't ended up back at the launch yet. Then they call and make me pick them up. And I lose a little faith in humanity.
Me: I am so sorry

Right after Sonia (my stillborn infant niece) died, I asked a dear friend who had suffered the loss of her brother, "How are people supposed to live through something like this." She told me that grief is like carrying a rock in your pocket. At first it's sharp, and heavy, and you feel it all the time and it hurts. Over time you get used to it, and you learn how to move so it feels easier to carry and doesn't stab into you as much. But some days, maybe you'll move wrong or sit funny and the rock is sharp and too heavy again, but it won't last forever and you'll go back to being able to live with the weight and the sharpness so that it doesn't take up all of your mind all of the time.
It hasn't even been two years, and I don't speak about 2022 very often. But it's getting to the point where now I can talk about it a little bit, so it seems like maybe life is getting bigger around the size and shape of my grief, even though it felt like it never would.
"Growing Around Grief"
