The worst part about not going to college is there not being an easy time to move out
#I have like no friends and all of them still live at home or live at college#I can’t afford to live on my own#I don’t know anyone who needs a roommate#there’s nothing pushing me to leave I don’t haven’t he money to leave#bUT I CANTIVE HERE FOREVER#my mom be like ‘wrll if you’re gonna be in a bad mood (overstimulated) you should just leave the room’#but when I leave the room she’s like ‘wtf are you in a bad mood why don’t you wanna spend time with us’#kestrel calls#chitter chatter#text post#there’s so no natural progression from im your legal responsibility part of the family living in your house#and I am my own independent person who is living in your house#and obviously there’s differences from living your family than with a romance#but I wanna be able to just do my own thing yk#at least I can be in my room on my laptop with the door shut 🤪#I hope once we move there’s stronger boundaries

reading other people’s ma theses and getting irrationally jealous of their dedication sections where they list all the people who emotionally or financially or physically (as in doing cooking and such? what is that called) supported them through their work and didn’t let them give up
#no one in my life really cares about this#the only one who does is also very busy#so it’s not like i can often talk about it to anyone#studying feels more and more pointless#even though it’s not really#but i’ve learnt enough from this program#i want to now write my own stories#not write research#and my life is just constantly like#doing everything alone bc ppl are busy or live far away#looming threats on the horizon and always the question of money#almost crying in public bc i lost one euro from the bottle returns#and it wasn’t there when i went to put the bottle money in the atm#which meant i couldn’t pay the bill due#and had to borrow money for one euro#one!#bc i spent all my money on medicine to help me sleep#and it’s not even working#and i don’t have a therapist and can’t afford one anyway#and i need a pet to stay alive for but i can’t afford one either#i am tired of being disabled and i am tired of everything#txt#personali

How do people with executive dysfunction take pills at a consistent time every day? I can have my phone scream at me that I need to take my pills, and my body will still be like “but…no…”
#I mean they’re just vitamins and allergy meds#so it’s not like i have to take prescription pills or anything#but still. it’s an issue.#especially since one of the pills tells me to take with food#(and I know from experience that it’ll make me sick if I don’t eat enough with it)#so my brain is just like ‘you’re telling me I have to eat AND take this stupid pill? fuck this.’#and I proceed to rot in bed for the next 3 hours#all the while my brain is also chastising me bc I have to take my vitamins and I have to do laundry and I really need to work on the#oneshots I said I’d do and haven’t done#like. it’s consistently caused issues in the past and now. and idk what I can do to just. force myself to do the thing#like how the fuck can I tell my mom that ‘hey I know I didn’t get laundry done but in my defense my body literally said no’#when I know she’ll say shit like ‘oh stop being lazy. just try harder. blah blah blah’#like!!!! I’m trying!!! but it’s like trying to catch the dog whenever she gets out. it’s extremely difficult for no fucking reason and I#hate it.#and I can’t even see a medical professional about it bc i unfortunately live in the us and can’t fucking afford to eat on my own let alone#pay a fucking medical bill like that.#sorry. just. sorry. I’ll shut up now. just. ignore me.

the mental health is not mental healthing right now
#tw: mental health#I am so sick of living at home because i can’t afford my own place#and I brought it on myself with my financial recklessness#but I’m trying so hard to get it fixed and it’s so HARD#I love my parents but goddamn they#I’m truly convinced that my mom has recently decided she hates me or something

Loss for words
I don’t like war, though
It feels inevitable
A paradox of lies and cheaters in silk robes
And though enemy territory is still miles away
I can feel their soil under my feet
As they dance in circles around trees
I’ve seen my sisters do the same
Why does it have to be a competition
To see who can be more dead
Why am I the one that has to live through history
Why can’t it be my grandparents
They’re much more suited for the scandal
They can pay what I cannot
My soul is not prepared for branding
What does it mean to be nineteen and hated
Why am I the one that has to fear for my life
We’re all next no matter what we do
Even when we win we loose
What does it mean to live while dying
Why can I not see the future
We’re fighting against iron walls
But all were given wooden clubs
What does it mean to be young now
Why do the old get to dictate what I do
Poetry and literature and blood and air
I don’t want to fight for my hands and feet
What does it mean to be a soldier
Young heads pounding through streets
They take away what we want
Then they’ll take away what we need
What does it mean to be a target
And why does it have to be now
The billionaires will keep getting richer
Until they burn everything down
#they want us dead#if that means they can get what they think they deserve#they are not like us#and they love that fact#I’ve only lived 19 years but I feel like a war soldier#I’m sick of living like this#I’m sick of not feeling safe#I’m sick of being so stuck in one place#I can’t even afford to leave my own country#isn’t that fucked up?#im sick of having to convince myself not to commit every other month#poetry#tiktok#tiktok ban#us government

man i sure hope things get better soon…
#perhaps it’s just me seeing things online but like. ofc i’m concerned about the state of the economy and the housing market & job market#my family wants to keep my late grandfather’s house but all the siblings need the money and can’t afford to buy each other out#i saw a thing on ai taking an entire department’s jobs and it’ll be implemented worldwide taking tens of thousands of jobs#saw a reddit thread on if things were ever gonna get better and there was nothing comforting. it was all just ‘this is the new norm’ and#‘i dumpster dive outside of my work for food’ and ‘i’m planning to end my life because i can’t afford to live’#it’s like…i’m lucky to come from a middle class family. for the most part i’ve never had to worry about food or shelter#but i’m worried i’ll never be able to have my own life or i’ll be forced out at some point—working myself to the bone to afford a tiny plac#and just maximizing protein/suppressing my appetite to save money…i’ll never get to enjoy anything in life and it’s not fair because#this is my one chance#and everyone’s gonna ignore me or tell me not to worry but i don’t know what to do. i don’t know anything#maybe i should choose a different career path for one but i don’t know what the hell to do atp#tw vent#rose.txt

Can i take u to england?
yeah
#lemon man talks#Id love to go somewhere but I can’t really afford it#Really hoping I can have my own money on a close future so I can eventually move and go to college and live comfortably#When I tell people my biggest dream is having a small apartment and getting money from selling stuff online#And having just enough to live comfortably (not lacking anything but not like. Being rich just living a normal life and affording basic#Needs and hopefully hobbies)#They always have that “just that? Are you serious?” face#And like. Yeah I just wanna have a good life#I don’t need much for that but I sure as hell can’t get that on my own on the situation I’m at right now#So yeah I’d love if I could miraculously move and go to college and live off things that make me happy#If someone wants to give me a scholarship on a different country that’d be so nice /hj

BABY WATCH 2024!
First 24 hours with the new kitten. Thought it was a she, but did a closer inspection earlier and I’m leaning towards a he.
Anyway, the good stuff: he is the sweetest, most well behaved kitten I have ever seen. He’s an angel. He spent most of last night sleeping on my chest. I haven’t had such an actively affectionate cat in ages. The two I have now are sweet, but they don’t really cuddle. This little dude does. This little dude is awesome. He follows me around, doesn’t get into things he’s not supposed to, and instantly knew how to use a litter box. If he wasn’t so young, I’d think he was an abandoned indoor cat. But he’s baby. My baby. Still needs a name, though.
The not so good stuff: I DO NOT need another cat! I live in a small apartment with two other adult cats and a small dog. New cats are also expensive! He’s gonna need shots and to get fixed and, to be painfully honest, I really don’t know if I can afford that now. Shit, I’m basically out of (human) food until I can get some cash on friday. It’s rough. I’m really anxious. I love this little guy. I didn’t just pick a random kitten. I’d seen him outside a couple of times and I just… I hated the idea of this way too trusting little guy trying to survive out in the world. He just kept crying out at me and following me. There are other stray cats around, but this one is so small and so sweet and he followed me home and he loves me so much I literally started crying while holding him bc I didn’t want him to ever have to fight just to survive out there. I hate it. I mean, I love him, but it does make me feel kind of sick inside bc I know it’s not exactly a smart decision to take in a stray right now. Life sucks. He’s curled up next to me in bed now and if he wasn’t so tiny and sweet and wonderful, I might be okay not keeping him & letting him stay outside with his friends. I’m glad he’s not a human baby or I’d really be freaking out right now.
Anyway, I’d die for him now so it’s a done deal. My baby now.

#baby watch 2024#I love him!!!!!#im also really anxious and sad about how I’m going to afford/live with another cat#this is why I can’t look at the adoptable cats at pet stores. it will 100% ruin my day.#absolute unobtainable dream would be to one day own a large piece of land and adopt/foster as many strays as possible#blegh… stressful#but he’s a little angel so it’s okay#it’ll work out in the end#the juice is worth the squeeze as they say#a baby#I should say I do have a ton of experience with raising kittens#things were kinda… out of control when I was a kid#at one point my family had almost two dozen cats in the house which sounds terrible I know#hoarders level terrible#there were a few stray cats we fed and then took in#and then they turned out to be pregnant and had babies everywhere#so yeah we had a ton of kittens#we managed to get most of them adopted though so it wasn’t like we were living with a horde of cats everywhere#just long enough for them to ween off milk and be adopted#it was a very rough time#so this past day I’ve been having a lot of flashbacks to taking care of kittens#skipping school to take care of them. in like 5th grade. stressful. not smart life decisions.#what can I say I’m dumb as hell#this isn’t important#you can ignore this#text#mine

ohh i get it. we’re meant to fail under the system
#I’ve been talking to anthony about the value of labor / living wage / skill vs time / etc#living wage in california is $27/hr 40 hours a week#i am disabled (allegedly? no one else says it about me but my living is certainly very impacted) there’s no way i can work 40 hours a week#that’s not even really sustainable for normal people#but okay imagine it’s $27 an hour. most people don’t live places where the minimum wage is $16 an hour#which is still low compared to $27!#but it would take someone making $8 four hours to afford even one hour of my work#it’s an insane number a stupid number#neither of us would even be willing to pay for our own work#I don’t want to have to sell my pieces for $200 that’s such a stupid number#and I don’t even consider myself very skilled. in fact if I was more skilled the garment might actually be cheaper#since I’d be able to make it faster#but then the concept of ‘unskilled labor doesn’t exist’#no one deserves to not live#horrible horrible#i was thinking like. maybe i just need to talk to someone smarter than me more well read a better communist or whatever#but reading can’t save me from the system!#講話

i just feel like it really tracks that i should be ending this year needing to find a new job, a new apartment, and strength enough to live alone
#2023 really has a personal agenda against me i swear#it looks like i’m gonna have to move all the way across the city but i just checked and there aren’t a lot of flats rn#and those i contacted haven’t reacted and are now gone which yeah of course#and i’m gonna have to live alone. there’s so much change coming in and i just wanna be a tree#my parents suggested i move back in with them but if i do that they’ll have to put me in a mental hospital for a year#god i just. wanna stop.#and not move even though my life is pointless and stagnant but i can’t afford this flat on my own and it’s too big anyway#blah#not st#personal

Anytime I mention how expensive rent is the answer is always “just get a roommate” but it’s a BAD answer
Idk I just don’t think being forced to have roommates at 25+ should become the standard. We, as adults, shouldn’t have to live with strangers our whole lives just to survive
#roommates should be a college only thing#and if you WANT to keep having roommates after that it should be optional#the fact I know few people who can actually afford to live on their own is ridiculous#including me#I make more than min wage and still can’t afford the average rent in my town#so here I am scrambling to find a roommate#I fucking hate it here#and I’m ace aro so living with a partner isn’t going to happen#personal

Me? Trust the government?
#in this economy?#while Hobie Brown is watching?#while I can’t afford basic healthcare?#when they’ve committed and hidden or been complicit in multiple genocides?#while gas is $4?#while living through so many historical events in my quarter century of life that it’s like a shitty soap opera?#while being homeless or trans is a crime in at least one state near me?#while the promises of my youth are now all proven to be fiction and exclusively reserved for a generation before my birth?#while we have a two party system?#while corporations own the country?#while my country is the laughing stock of the planet?#while the burning shame and anger inside me rips apart my mind because I’m powerless to change things?#while the two candidates are a convicted sex offender and an alleged sex offender#while I’m romanticizing the idea of living in a Ghibli film instead?#when I see the ways they’ve brainwashed the generations before me into constant fear?#while I’m systematically healing from the ways my country’s predatory systems have tried to devour me?#while knowing that they only care about the humans they can profit off of and even then only as cattle#while I could be whimsical and silly instead#goblin posting

so I need to go on anxiety meds bc I can’t continue to have panic attacks at work, but I can’t drink alcohol on meds and i’ll lose the ability to have an orgasm.
AND until my body gets used to the meds (my doc wants to try lexapro bc of my anxiety and depression), there’s a high chance it’ll increase my anxiety levels, brain fog, issues i’m already having.
I have no idea wtf i’m supposed to do 😩
#i’ve been wanting to get out and date more for the first time since I was like 19 but it’s so daunting#add in all of this and how I can’t afford to live on my own as an adult bc teachers get shitty pay#and i’m in school for some continuing education certification#how am I supposed to live

we found a place we really like but of course an offer has already been put in 😖
#personal#tbd#i’m going to rant a lot so you can skip all these tags#it was so nice and I could see where things would go#and it was relatively affordable for what it was#but someone put in an offer and if we wanted a shot we’d have to put in a counter by tomorrow morning#and we were not prepared for all that#just so annoying#like i don’t know why it’s still competitive out here#the tech boom has died down#and the city is mostly empty bc nobody can afford to either live or own a business down there#the governor is also bought out by the housing lobby#so obviously no rent cap 🙃#i’m so tired#the rent keeps going up but my pay stays the same#and i have a decent paying job now but i still can’t afford anything
