I DONT CARE IF YOU LIKE STEVEN UNIVERSE OR NOT

If you suffer from Anxiety, Depression, Disassociation, Intrusive thoughts, or any number of things that take you away from a healthy head-space then this song is for you. This song is a template for a coping mechanism. This will walk you through a legitimate method of addressing intrusive thoughts and working through them in order to ground yourself. I cannot express how important this is- for people like me who suffer from these moments all the time this song is so important.

Me: thinking about how messed up my sleep schedule is going to be when it comes time for school to start back up.

Also me: watching Netflix and eating jellybeans at 2:00 in the morning.

Must Be Nice

We have reached that glorious time of the year, a time when 50% of my conversations with others will include the phrase, “It must be nice.”

Why yes, thank you, it is.

It is nice to have my summers “off.”

It is nice to have a couple of months a year where people call me by my first name.

It is nice to be able to use the bathroom when I have to go.

It is nice not to have stress dreams about other people’s children.

It is nice not to have to repeat everything I say at least three times.

AT THE VERY LEAST. YES. EVERYTHING.

See, here is the deal, people.

During the rest of the year, I wear a specific costume. I do not wear my “real clothes.”

During the rest of the year, I answer to a different name.

During the rest of the year, I plan everything I do and most of what I say ahead of time.

What is that called? That’s called a performance.

Most of the year, I am literally performing most of the day.

And writing the script.

And my audience does not always (or even often) particularly want to be there.

And I am responsible for them remembering most of what they have seen and heard.

And I am responsible for designing ways of assessing how much they have remembered and can apply from everything they have seen and heard.

And I am responsible for grading these assessments.

Except when those assessments come from the state. Then I am responsible for making the audience remember everything and care about proving they remember everything.

Or else.

All of which is not so bad. I chose this job and I love it.

But if that sounds daunting, or overwhelming to anyone else, I just wish they would remember that the next time they want to say in a snooty voice, “Must be nice.”
