said goodbye to him feeling weird!
#hes abt to go skiing w his friend im abt to go back to the uk to an ordinary life#he is perfect and I've felt appreciated none of the time and i think it's not his fault idk#not how racemic compounds work not how amphetamines work not how people work#french suits his mouth but german does a bit more i think . climbed to a very beautiful place#asked him to be my boyfriend then almost took it back yesterday. chemistry is not his strong suit#he carries things for me he catwalks he gives me his jumper when im cold he's good at kissing#he got me a beautiful necklace on a riverside in amsterdam he lights my cigarette with his#he holds my hand and his only complaint about me putting lipstick on his lips is that it wasn't evenly spread#his eyelashes are long and he's sharp and scarily productive and very good at navigation#always on time always the right place . i make a comment about being a beautiful collective and he says yes but it's odd that we havent#received the social benefits of it. what you mean? well when im alone or with friends people just...give me things. flowers baked goods#compliments a pack of cigarettes he says. he asks me if I've ever had to pay for a pack. i felt genuinely SO UGLY like am i. downgrading u?#ppl see me next to you and..what you get negative attractive points? gosh.#unfortunately shutting the fuck up is not my strong suit so i never let that go. he says nooo it's just you are So Gorgeous that you scare#people away. OK!!! he knows he's pretty and he uses this to his full advantage#you're cool and you're friends with all the club bouncers and you take such good care of me and you know#the state secrets and we can scheme murders together and i love that you love your friends#but when i joked we wont get to see each other in months and you said 'so?' that rly did smth very upsetting!!!!#twisting and backtracking is his strong suit but unfortunately seeing it happen is mine#and sometimes it's endearing and sometimes i want to kill him about it. he would be a very good diplomat#who the fuck stumbles gracefully on cliffs? anyway his voice is gentle and he says i don't want you upset#he holds my hands he says lets talk about it please i want you to know i appreciate you#he says all the correct things i believe 0 things out of his mouth and he can tell#i am snappy and terrible and calm. i tell him he's sweet and i want more i want to be missed#SHUTTING THE FUCK UP IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT! would you be ok being just friends? eventually.#and the next day ive decided what to do with you. what is that? you can still be my boyfriend. he says thank you.#walking is our strong suit so we go everywhere. i tell him about my best friend his head looks great thrown backwards#im afraid this is too good for me and I'm also afraid it's not enough. not asking questions is not my strong suit.

Hey did I ever tell y'all about the time I dreamed that I had a baby daughter called Ellie that began with my finding out I was pregnant and ended on like her third birthday?
I legitimately woke up thinking "I should go check on Ellie" and then realised she was never real and when I tell you I SOBBED. I've been haunted by an implacable sense of loss ever since. Did I travel to another dimension? Wtf happened because that was insane.
#I'm not even joking when I say it felt REAL#I have this baby doll (it was my mum's when she was a kid and I have it now) that sometimes I just hold and it makes me feel better???#Did I astral project into another life?????#Was it just a really fucking intense fever dream??????#For the record I was like fifteen I have never even done the do let alone had a pregnancy scare#But yeah my little Ellie#And she never fuckin existed#I woke up halfway through planning her birthday party like baking a cake or sm and I was thinking#“I'll give her the little green cardigan I knitted”#Woke up to a silent house and was like “she's never usually quiet this time in the morning”#Then realised what had happened and started CRYING#idk man it's insane#From a psychological point of view it's fascinating but I've tried and tried to analyse the dream and?????#I always come up with something different???? I can't pinpoint the actual cause and effect of the whole thing?????#Madness honestly#And it was just a normal day too nothing weird had happened it wasn't a coma and I wasn't knocked out it was just a Dream#A very very real one#For the record I don't think Ellie had a father#I think it was just an immaculate conception that nobody ever questioned#Might have been IVF now I think about it#That would make more sense#dream#weird dreams#Ig I should add a grief trigger warning???#tw grief#one time i dreamt#Very confused and it's been like two years so wtf yeah that was... Intense#The most dream of all time#Maybe I'm just fucking insane lol but yeah

well.
I'm 30.
#one minute ago#damn I really REALLY thought I'd have my life more together#I mean to be real I 10000% did not expect to live until 30 good grief#but in my day dreams of 'what I might have been like if I lived to be an adult' this was not it#not still living like an emancipated minor in a 1 1/2 that's not even official it's more of a charity by the people who own the garage#that it's built in#not remembering to eat every day and eating the same 'gotta eat something' random assortment of whatever is in the cabinets#that I've been eating since I was 4#still working 4 jobs and not having my phd yet#literally never gone on one date and still feel too young for a relationship because I don't ever EVER want to be that guy#who doesn't know how to do anything and expects their partner to take care of them#I can barely do laundry and I straight up refuse to do dishes#I buy paper plates and cups#I'm not going to impose that on anyone#I keep thinking when I grow up I can have a relationship but I'm not old enough yet#but buddy I'm a freaking grown up now#30 is no joke#it's official#I just suck.#it's not about age its about being a garbage person#like i would never ever EXPECT my partner to take care of me but in practical terms I would fail at keeping the house clean#and they would pick up the slack becuase they don't want to live in a trash hole and would get mad and/or bitter with me for making them#living alone my bad choices only effect me#when i've lived with roommates in the past this has always been a key point of breakdown#even when I've tried to be extra dilligent I would forget a glass somewhere becuase I planned to reuse it and my roomate would wash it#and be mad that I felt entitled and expected them to clean up after me when I absolutly did NOT in fact I was horrified#that they needed to clean something up after me- I just simply lost track of it. and that was 10000% unfun for everyone involved#I was ashamed 100% of the time and they felt used 100% of the time and no one had a good time

thinking abt how im a dyke and have adhd like damn baby pick a struggle
#lesbians in general are just a rare commodity and i've heard so many times that they're gonna be alone and how it's an isolating experience#which was partially why i was so afraid to come out as one to myself bc i didn't want to be alone and i got so desperate for connection#i don't really have anyone to help me navigate in my butchness either#so im trying to do more readings and sometimes overcompensate to “fit in”#but i've never felt more comfortable in my own skin and gender than i do now that i know#i've been watching videos of this older butch and her advice helps/comforts me a lot and makes me feel seen#and then there's all that stuff with adhd where im so damn sensitive to other people which pisses me off#the second i don't feel safe with someone i just stay quiet or shut down which im. trying to work on#in a way im just trying to protect my peace but id like to be more vocal about shit instead of internalising it or seething quietly#it just makes it harder for me to be my own person#so yeah im trying to accept that i might end up alone for the rest of my life but at least i'll be happier with myself#obviously it won't take away the desire to be loved but i'll learn to make do anyway. maybe lobotomy#i've got other bones to pick w adhd but this rant is too long and i just wanted to write this down somewhere#txt

i wish i could just do nothing for a few days straight. maybe even just sleep for a few days straight. sooo excited for constant misery over the next 20 days
ranting in the tags. i would just scroll past if i were you
#i love college.my favorite part is sitting alone on my couch for 4 months straight and getting so freaked out over grades i spend#5 hours straight trying to avoid the urge to bite into my arm so hard i bruise or bash my head into a wall#meanwhile i keep thinking my life is over. i don't have any evidence. for the first time in my life the future isn't predetermined by#other people and now that i don't know what comes next i just constantly get freaked out. it makes me want to claw through my skin#i know something is wrong with me. it's been 5 years. i know it isn't just going to go away; especially given current circumstances#and how it's only been getting worse over time#but i continue to just sit on my couch and do nothing about it. and since i'm not doing anything about it i just feel like i don't have the#right to complain about it even though shit fucking sucks. months of my life at a time just blur together#god. i was genuinely happy last month when i ripped a bunch of booster packs with my mates that i only see over the summer (minus my bestie#and it made me realize just how much everything's blurred together. i hadn't really felt anything lasting + significantly positive#for months before that. that's not normal#god. i've been wanting to go to bed for the last two hours but i just keep sitting here going “um! you need to study. and wash dishes. and”#so i just. don't. which is already bad but i also need to get up early so i can study for my test tomorrow.#god. fucking dreading my lab tomorrow. went to it last week but dipped at the last minute without getting my work checked off#and without submitting it because i got so angry and freaked out and telling myself “man you can just leave” calmed me down instantly#and then at that point i had like nothing done and i didn't want to admit that so i just. left#if i get asked about it i'll just say it was something personal and i panicked. shrug#a part of me is beyond tempted to skip the lab again but i'm not confident in my assignment grades in that class to do so#even though i'll end up with a 5 point bonus on the final grade from taking a survey. but i'll probably go just cause#it's the second to last lab#man i have three whole ass projects due in that class in 10 days. unless my mental state suddenly improves (it won't) i'm gonna end up doin#those the last possible three days#speaking of assignments. we had to do a group project in my bio lab yeah? the methods my group went with sucked and honestly these#people were a little bit frustrating (i get it. gen ed lab at 7:30am. i'm only in it cause i panicked when a different class registration#fell through) since it always felt like they were more interested in getting done than having like. slightly decent work but whatever#but these people? these people asked me to write the conclusion for our presentation. i ask “yeah sure yeah. what did we conclude”#“eh. you can write whatever” ???????????????? HUH???? MATE THAT IS HALF OF THE WORK???????????????????#the shitty sensors and our shitty methods gave us shitty data and YOU PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN SUGGEST WHAT THE CONCLUSION IS????????? fuck me dud#i was already in a poor mood (normal mental illness plus i had found out my uncle died like three days before#like i had talked to him just last month. never had someone i know die before. sucks) but that shit pissed me off

First day back at the university and I still suck at this exactly as much as I did 4 years ago
#i wish doing something over and over actually made it easier from then on#how come i've done this so many times and i'm still as horrified by the prospect of group projects and exams and all as in the very start#can they invent a higher education that doesn't require you to prepare a group project for every damn subject that exists#can they also invent an intercating with people#in a way that doesn't leave me feeling like the only person on earth who somehow doesn't get it#how do people just start talking and becoming friends :( it's literally impossible for me#it's such a mystery. how the hell do they all do this. what's your fucking secret !!!!!!!!!#not that i expected to become friends with anyone in one day#but one day was already enough for me to start feeling as alienated and othered from everyone else as i've always felt#like god it's always the same damn thing. each year i hope it'll be different and it's still the fucking same#i try to appear nice and approachable and chime in to the conversation whenever i can (just like i've been doing for the past 4 years)#but i guess there must just be something deeply wrong with me that makes everyone avoid me in the end anyway#am i really that unfriendable. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong#and why no one is interested in holding a conversation with me for more than 5 minutes in total#it's literally back to the same thing that i've done over and over before and i truly don't see any point in any of this anymore#it's just so ridiculous 😭😭😭 why do i even keep trying at this point#back to school so back to crying alone in my room every evening i guess#how beautiful how poetic. i almost forgot this was the daily standard for the entire past year#never getting out of this ok i get it :))#friendship was meant to be for everyone but me i get it now!!!#worst year ever everything bad is happening. going to my first funeral on thursday i'm definitely going to take that well hahaha#it's been only a day and i'm already so done. ok.#i'm freaking out man what am i even supposed to be doing anymore. it's all pointless

I think about this tweet once a week
#for what it's worth I've never felt more seen by something said by a stranger on the internet as i have with this tweet#thinking about that scene in all of us strangers when he says “but I've always felt lonely” like the most banal of statements#idk what's wrong with me that no matter who's around me loved ones or otherwise#i feel excruciatingly alone#sometimes it's awful and I'm back in my bed as a teen crying myself to sleep about having no one to talk to#other times it just is what it is & my mother is referencing it casually in conversation or my sister's joking about it#the sky is blue the grass is green I'll always be lonely#alhamdulillah

I'm about to be so annoying btw
#by this I mean I'm going to talk about my job until it's no longer new and exciting sorry guys#but this is literally the first good thing to happen to me in MONTHS#shit has been so bad like SO unbelievably bad for a WHILE#like. not only do I have a job (!!!!!!) but it actually seems like a really good fit for me and what I need#like. the hours aren't horrible and in fact I could stand to have more of them#the pay isn't *good* but it's not the worst I've ever made for sure#the work environment though... that's where it gets me. because I get to just be one guy in a store interacting with customers and literally#nobody else#for most of my workday#like. no small talk except for with customers. no learning about my coworker's stupid life. no trying to get along with someone for the sake#of work#like. I just get to be alone and sell shit and when it's slow I get to organize shit like. hello??? yes please#I don't have to be micromanaged because I'm literally alone. like. god I'm so excited#plus it's similar to work I've done before. so. yay#I do really like the coworker I've met before though. he's very sedate and has excellent customer service.#which I know bc every time my mom shops there and he's the one working he's very genial and nice#definitely good at his job. but I wouldn't be surprised if he was getting high in the back or something lmao#he's just so calm ive never met a dude more chill like. he seems like the exact opposite of anxious#and then my other coworker I haven't met yet but I'm sure she's fine.#I do like my boss though! and she's only my boss until they get another manager bc she's actually the manager at another location too#she's just filling in here while they look for another manager#but I like her she was extremely up-front and no-nonsense and plainly stated exactly what she needs from an employer#employee*#which is honestly such a relief like my last job I felt like I had no clue what people wanted from me and it was horrible#but this seems better so far#also I know for a fact I beat out two other people who had interviews the same day and I was so much the preferred choice#that she didn't even wait to decide or anything#she called me like a few hours after my interview ended like. that 3rd person left and she immediately hired me instead lol#which I have to admit does feel good after so long feeling inadequate and unhirable.#I am more hirable than at least two people. so THERE

This reminds me of one of my first tumblrs. I started with erotic art, and ended up finding myself. I will be back here soon.
#ok a couple things#not scrolling yet#because I don't wanna get sad#BUT#well for one everything looks like a penis to me right now omggg#I have used my vibe a couple times but mostly I just sit in the feeling#also#I fucking forget how much I LOVE this industry until I get back into it#why do I DO this!?#I just got my boudoir photos back#they are so good#we slapped that shit together and I was a hot mess and they still look fantastic#it's really cool that we used the vintage camera and that they were developed by hand#I've almost gotten to the excited anticipation stage#I've never felt this disconnected#I wonder if my telepathy worked#lol#I am doing all of the things#because I know that's what he would want me to do#and for me too#but fuck I miss that man more than anything#I have really learned to be truly alone#good news is I like myself#so that's cool#bad news is that I need to feel like a hot girl again#that's only bad news because do you know how much work it takes to be a hot girl!?#but it's my favorite thing to do in the world#I have come full circle back to self 🧘🏼♀️💋

#I've been trying to keep my childish side with me for years#since i was a kid#because ive always valued that whimsy and imagination and kindness and openess#but lately it came to me that for years i mostlyI feel like my childhood is dead inside me#like its dead and i cant even step into memories anymore#and when i look back i realise i mostly never really felt like a real child. more like a person pretending to be a child#ive been forced to Get On With It since i was about 4#so maybe all that endurance has taken its toll...#i feel like maybe it could be revived if i did something really nice like go to disney land or find a care#giver#or something#be babied by friends or find something that makes me happy#tbh#and this is a bit serious#i dont really have things that make me happy#ive been feeling extra alone lately its probably very obvious#sorry for being patheticccccccc and weirddddddddd#anyway.

Man I can't wait until I can recover alone for a while
#I was alone in my apartment today and put together a standing clotheshanger shoerack combo#and it was actually so nice to do stuff and NOT receive verbal feedback I didn't ask for#I actually HATE when I start to do things wrong and immediately there's an audible no no no#it makes me feel like I Have to be on top of things and do them right immediately so everyone can be silent to me about it#trying to navigate life without triggering an unskippable cutscene as it were#if I do it on my own I will find out I'm going about it the wrong way soon enough#and I'll correct it#no nitpicking needed just using my time and brain to find a solution#it makes me feel so much better about myself#I'm already starting to see why I've always felt so incapable and inadequate. I can tell I really need this#I'm really curious what else I can do now that I'm allowed to figure it out in silence#more than ever reaffirmed that auditory is my quickest sense to wear me out/overstimulate#which is why reveiving verbal feedback I have to interpret makes me want to fly into a rage sometimes#because I NEVER get enough time to figure it out. they see me not change my course of action immediately and they take it out of my hands#it feels so. crowded and like nothing is in my control#give me time. give me space to breathe. let me make a mistake and understand firsthand why it's a mistake#please please please stop narrating everything to me. please. can we be quiet for a while.#you can sit with me but please don't tell me anything.#bien rambles

You know what's a realization I've made just now at this moment. I've been thinking for the last couple of days about how lately my poetry feels like it has no significance to me anymore, and I don't know why or how. It certainly felt more significant to me when I was youngest, when my poetic offerings were least often worthy of much praise, when I was excited and felt catharsis. Before I was even twenty, poetry became more of a craft/hobby than a diary (to give myself credit, it was a craft/hobby when I was fourteen/fifteen too, but I built that craft/hobby out of my teenage sentiments and obsessions rather than a more concerted effort of skill or construction). And it's been many years since I wrote poetry that was about people; I can't tell you the last time I wrote a poem that was purely about my feelings for another person. More often I write poems about conflicts or problems or things I'm figuring out. Very often my poetry is just inspired by whatever book I'm reading. But I'm not interested in my poetry lately whatsoever; I write it coincidentally. I have no interest in elaborating through that medium anymore at this point in my life. I'm not sure why I continue. And my realization is that I actually have felt this before. My poetry feels like a dormant interest because very few things inspire or excite me right now. My poetry feels insignificant when I'm in a phase where my life feels insignificant.
#this past year of not taking classes and being ill and lonely has had some effect on me hasn't it!!#tales from diana#in some sense the fact that i still run my poetry blog (im writing this as im updating it now) is like#i dont know. it's some sort of hidden blessing for myself and myself only#it's something i consistently update despite all lack of interest and that gives me the motivation to write#is the motivation to post. on my silly little blog that frankly i dont even care about! let alone do i expect others to#no i do care about it. just not care like i get impassioned about it#it's of little import in my life but it's a consistent thing in the background and i'm thankful for it#i am not at the point in my life where i care so much about sharing my poetry#not so much in a self-promoting way but it hasn't been like that for a long time#i've never cared much if my writing got much attention. in fact i've often felt worried when it does#i'm comfortable just showing my mutuals and forgetting about it and moving onto the next thing#it is what it is. i'm sure the next big change that comes into my life will inspire some more interesting poems#but right now it's just going through the motions. and that's ok i've been there before

i often get nostalgic for something i never had the chance to experience but only watched from afar, when i see teenage boys on public transport with dyed buzz cuts and skateboards
#i never really did anything in hs but study cry drink coffee and draw and cry some more and then draw some more#i was very... anxious academically inclined and artistic (the three big As of my hs experience) but i was so obsessed with perfection#that i only had fun like 30% of the time#i had a few close friends but i was so afraid of social situations and i avoided bigger gatherings and club activities that actually couldv#benefited me#i never dared to try things outside my comfort zone#i wanted to learn how to skateboard and i wanted to go places alone but i was always too scared#i do the second thing nowadays bc i have no friends at my university...#thats good i guess but im still really on edge while im out alone sometimes idk#i guess the point is i wish i had more fun when i was younger#im only 20 now so i guess it's still high time#but I've felt so horribly alone since i was 17#z.post

Throwing this into the wild because everything feels like too much right not and i've been rotting in bed for a month straight
#i'm legit not doing well#and i feel like i can't talk to anyone about it#because they're either part of the problem#i don't trust them enough to tell them every little bit of the problem#or are too fare removed from me and the problem#i've been telling bits and pieces to some friends#and somehow they either make it worse with what they say or i end up feeling ashamed over what i said anyway#and did#i feel like i have no more words to write or thoughts to think#i feel absolutely exhausted and i haven't been able to write anything in such a long while#not for school and not for myself#not even to journal#i have barely been able to read shit or to play or to sing#i dont have the energy anymore#i've made an appointment to the university's counselor but they were full until next month so im still waiting#ive felt like crying every day for the past month and ive never felt more lonely and weird and guilty and worthless#today i was walking on the street and i was thinking that i wish no one would see me because i was literally ashamed of my own fucking#existence#and ive realized i really really need some validation right now#but i havent been able to create anything so there's no validation#and i don't want to ask my friends for validation because it doesn't feel real. because i.d ask for it on the one hand#and on the other because they're my friends so of course they're gonna say nice things#i feel stuck#i feel so so stuck it's like a vicious cycle#ive been having a lot of nightmares too and i woke up crying and i keep crying and even my roommate has noticed im not doing well#and i.ve withdrawn from my friends again#i feel even guiltier when it comes to them because it feels like i only go talk to them when i have a problem or smth to say#and like im not there when they need me#but i.m really really tired of everyone elses problems#and as much as i wish theyd all leave me alone i also wish someone'd notice im not doing well and would idk. not let me deflect with jokes

Just a vent post ig
Hm. Once again feeling really shitty about being basically the only trans woman I've interacted with on the internet or in real life that isn't attracted to women but so. So much of transfem stuff in my circles at least is all about loving women which is great! And I support it! But at some point it's starting to feel like the expected thing (especially when all the posts I make about my feelings get ignored on tumblr 👍)
#vent#trans stuff#It feels like. so weird to complain about this but I've been feeling so shitty for a long time#and it's the same feeling I had when I was a gay man. no one's actually trying to make me something I'm not but it's just the. the silence#I'm always surrounded by my friends and community having this shared experience that feels like it should be fundamental but it's not for me#and then when I try to share my experiences it goes nowhere.#I just feel alone even amongst my own community.#I've never felt more insecure about my sexuality until I realized I was a trans woman#idk maybe I'm dumb but I've been crying a lot over this recently and it's honestly been a source of gender dysphoria
