How to avoid drama in your life. (School/Work/Family)
Hate to say this but i don't really think some people can just live their life without poking into other's business and causing unnecessary turmoil so, here's a guide to avoid all types of unnecessary drama in your life.
A full communication circle.
Communication is the main cause for most fights so, here's the thing. When there is something that needs to be done, inform all necessary people about it in advance. Here's a mistake most do, they just tell one person and ask them to put forward the message to the others but tell them directly. Literally, it is the safest option for you, like no one can blame you that you didn't tell them. No one can hold it against you. So tell them directly. And from time to time get repeated reminders so they remember.
Don't involve yourself in unnecessary talks
This is serious. If you are sitting and your friends are complaining about someone, you just listen to them. Don't add on to the things and hype up them. If you know that person isn't like that, defend them subtly. Involving in gossip is the worst. When someone says something about another person or even you then just reply with "I don't really care, they are/ I am free to do whatever they/I want." Or "I don't have the energy for this." Or "It's really none of my business/concern".
If you demand respect, you need to give respect.
Be nice to everyone, I am serious about this. Even if you're not friendly with the person or you don't like them, just be nice. It won't hurt you or them. Even if they do something to hurt you, just let it go with a "Meh it's fine but i would appreciate it if you won't do it again". This may even work people up a bit, handle yourself with care. Make it seem that their presence doesn't actually threaten you.
Calm composure.
Keep yourself calm and composed whenever you're faced with a difficult situation, do not react immediately, take a breath. I usually just frown but more than that, I won't react to anything. It takes some practice but eventually, this is useful. The reason for you to maintain a calm composure is because if the person who hurt you is looking for a dramatic reaction, don't give them the satisfaction.
Better articulation
Especially if it's important instructions! When someone accuses you of something, don't immediately raise your voice, think for a moment, let them wait and then reply with what had actually happened in your point of view.
Apologize. Even if it isn't your fault.
Sometimes, people are just shitty and they won't understand even if you explain it a hundred or a million times. In those case, just say the magic two letter word -> "I'm sorry" or "I apologise". Your worth doesn't come down just because you apologised, on the other hand, you just became a better person than the other one.
It's simply not your damn business.
When someone directly tells you about their life etc etc. You lend a compassionate ear to them. If it's a story going around the whole place, it's simply not your business. And you can say this directly to the person passing the gossip, if they argue then that means you now actualy are aware of another gossip machine.
Don't EVER share your opinions on important matters with a person higher than you! Especially not in front of other people!
I'm damn serious, you don't know who will have it against you so, be careful around who you're saying things to. Other important matters include opinions about the specific person, politics, nationality, culture etc etc. Be sensitive.
Break the chain
When you hear something bad is going around and it reaches you, keep it to your damn self. Don't go adding the fuel to the fire like the rest!
Do not assume!
Don't assume about a situation or a person. Clarify. Always clarify. You may not know what the other person was going through, you don't know everything. Just don't think something, clarify it. No body is going to get mad at you for clarifying.
Make excuses.
When you hear someone talking bad about someone else. Defend them. Make excuses. I don't mean lie to them, I mean saying things like, "It's alright. You don't know what they were going through." Or "Maybe something happened that you don't know about." Personally, I always use the second one because I feel like, sometimes, people aren't bad guys. Situations make them act like that. Povs differ. So be mindful.
Don't raise your voice. Improve your argument.
If there is an argument. Do the classic Harvey Specter thing. You improve arguments with a neutral tone. Don't sound mocking or cocky, sound like you're just explaining to them. This won't escalate the scenario. (The quote was actually given by Desmond Tutu)
Hope this helps! :)

semi-related, but - I would really like to see more (esp public-facing) urban disaster & evacuation planning that didn't begin with "step one: load all your essential supplies into the car that you definitely own"
#this is something I have pinned in the back of my mind for basing a project/paper/etc on at some point in school the next couple years#particularly with how it's relevant to climate resiliency on multiple fronts

like, the coding of percy's kidnapping would be a great way to incorporate other forms of disability into pjo's conversation. percy missing months of the previous school year and struggling to make up for it so he can graduate on time shows how difficult keeping on top of school is when u have a disability that causes u to miss school. so i'm hoping rick will be more direct abt using this to make a commentary on disability and school in the new triolgy, but i'm not exactly holding my breath.
#the conversation essentially fell into rick's lap and he really should be leaning into it#considering pjo is abt disabilties and ableism#but rick constantly playing into the ableist stereotype that percy isn't doing well at school bc he's lazy#and rick saying demigods don't get ptsd (something that could cause u to miss school) bc they're “super resilient to such things”#does not inspire confidence#marketing trilogy#rr crit

I really love hope is a thing with feathers and I also really LOVE the hope as a sewer rat poem too but I wish it was not explicity written as "well actually" against Dickinson asgvsjnk. The imagery is SO GOOD but this whole vibe of "my metaphor is better than your metaphor" kinda sours it for me
#i dont like the patronizing usage of ''Emily'' like theyre explaining something to a child#admittedly dickinson has been dead for over a century so its probably huge deal to talk about her flippantly in terms of poetry#this is just me personally. how i feel about it#i dont like her being namedropped like that#it has this energy of ''haha lemme school this bitch''#when the poem itself was never supposed to see the light of day. she never consented to it being published. girl was 5 years in the grave#it feels like making fun of somebodys diary#i also dont like how it kinda makes fun of dickinson's imagery of hope as something ''beautiful delicate'' thing#i always interpreted as it is told. a little bird. i pictured a fat fluffy thing like the ones i see outside my window#ive known them to be stubborn and mischivious#when we leave out seeds on the lawn the little ones are always bullied away by the crows and magpies#but they keep trying. theyll attempt to sneak over and peck away before the crows notice them#they ARE optimistic and resilient little things. tougher than they look#so i always found the metaphor apt#sewer rat also fits just as well. but i think it depends on the angle from how youre looking at it#so i dont like this vibe of ''it should be more RAW it should be UGLIER'' cuz even tho i love that style of writing#it just feels like unnecessary one-upping here#especially considering dickinson was severely depressed and tons of her poems reflect it#god forbid she dabble around with the occasional light hearted poem about seeing hope as a silly little bird#asgsjsnk sorry im not trying to make a statement or anything. ill delete this later probably

The older I get, the more I realize I am attracted to the same archetype in fictional intrapersonal relationships, and therefore all of my ships across all fandoms are the same characters in different fonts.
#which is to say my ship taste essentially boils down to rainclouds x sunshine#regardless of fandom or ship#this has been the case since i first entered shipping fandom in middle school#from my earliest HP ships thru my present gunsmoke era#a stoic character known for their resilience meets someone who doesnt make them be so resilient anymore#i find another media with two characters in this rough description#and i ship them#it is very simple science

🐑💗 #summer vacation #strangers to lovers #insomnia #bittersweet ending
🐑 send me a fake set of fic tags, and i’ll try to come up with a summary for it!
There’s music playing down the beach. Oscar doesn’t usually make it this far, has always turned back earlier in the desperate hope of falling asleep before the glaring red lines of his clock display 4:00. He’s kind of annoyed, honestly. Can’t even have a crisis in peace, he thinks, immediately irritated at his own dramatics. Oscar keeps walking. It’s not often his walks are interrupted by anything other than drunk teenagers, though that’s probably still the case here. Hey kids, got any career advice? Oscar snorts, shaking himself out of his thoughts, and stops.
The source of the music is clear. A beachside bar, full of flashing lights and not much else. There’s a man wiping down tables, warbling along enthusiastically to a song Oscar doesn’t recognize. Something too sad for the tiki bar themed plastic surrounding him.
Oscar raps his knuckles on the railing marking the edge of the bar. “Still open, or?”
The man startles, turning to look at Oscar. He runs a hand through his hair, somehow getting glitter in his wilting curls.
Oscar stifles a laugh.
“Can’t serve alcohol at this hour, but you can sit for a bit,” he says, clearly eyeing the bags under Oscar’s eyes. He goes back to his table, scrubbing at a sticky spot. “Not really the usual crowd, are you?”
#i don’t know if there’s an international equivalent to americorps or whatever#but oscar is spending the summer after school in florida doing climate resiliency engineering stuff#and losing his mind considering his future his career and the ‘’real job’’ offers he’s got#lando’s there bc he hops from city to city. bartending mostly to meet interesting people.#and to avoid going home#oscar spends the whole summer walking the beach late at night talking to lando getting his advice#and then. he takes it. and leaves.#why florida and not some australian beach? or somewhere that makes more sense?#idk i just sunk into the vibes. and ive only walked on beaches at 3am in florida#writing game#ask#mine.fill#8104#ln#op#there’s more in my notes… felt good to write maybe i write this someday…#inspo

if you guys ever wonder why i put words like ‘willpower’ and ‘deserve’ in quotation marks it’s because I don’t believe those concepts exist, at least not in the sense of having to earn things like safety and rest, or having to endure pain to get basic needs met. the fact of the matter is that willpower and resilience are 100x easier to have if the biopsychosocial factors of your life are set up in the right way, and you often have zero control over those factors. these are things like the class or caste you’re born into, your unavoidable social environment, job access/resource access/social access, genetics and biological predispositions, immutable factors like race sex ability neurodivergence orientation etc, and how much autonomy you are granted by others over your own body and decisions.
as my life circumstances have changed (totally out of my individual control), it has become way easier to pull myself up by my bootstraps and snap out of emotions etc, and it has NOTHING to do with how hard i’m trying. I was trying a lot harder a few years ago, I believe i had more willpower then, so by all logic i deserved to have this kind of self mastery before. it didn’t come. i only gained ‘resilience’ after my life circumstances changed. I didn’t earn it and I didn’t try. i find this a really annoying concept and also hard to explain, idk if anyone else has similar experiences
#my school never shut up about resilience and all their speeches were such crap#‘you can become a millionaire simply by Trying! if you’re not a millionaire it’s because you didn’t Try!’#txt#rambles

did anyone else’s public school system have like an obsession with the word/acronym “grit” and just like constantly shove the definitions of the words gumption resilience integrity and tenacity down their throats or was that just mine. either way what was up with that
#marzi speaks#what was with the grit thing. why#we would have like pep rallies about it. in middle school we’d spend library days talking about grit#makes no goddamn sense in hindsight. why did they do that#they always used like the same four images too#gumption was an image of a cat walking past 4 dogs#resilience was a dandelion growing in concrete#integrity was clipart of a kid choosing not to cheat on a test even though they could#and tenacity was clipart of a frog choking out the crane trying to eat it#wh. why did they hammer that into my head for 12 years#i mean like those are good qualities to try to instill in kids sure but. ????????#why Always Those??? it was that and Have A Growth Mindset but they were garbage at actually teaching you with a growth mindset#have a growth mindset kids! anyways i’m about to base your worth and my perception of you on a number and there is nothing you can do about#it except change the number you show me. have fun keeping that self esteem up#public school is so fucking weird

somehow, maddox only gets lightly sick one day, despite her usually getting very severely sick most of the time. she's not even delirious. it's a miracle
jet: wow, this is better than usual. most of the time, maddox is one step away from falling into death's arms.
maddox: shut the fuck up
jet: hey maddie remember when you got a fever and you were pretty much dying on our living room floor
maddox: says you, mr "i basically fall into a coma whenever i'm sick".
ashlyn, who has never heard any of this:
It's almost more inconvenient that she's only a little sick.
Like, don't get it twisted, she rather dislikes nearly dying every few months, as do most people. And it's nice that she doesn't have to make up work. And she is always going to be the LAST PERSON to be excited about losing any amount of conscious time....
But God is she sooo over this sniffles bullshit. Like, great! She can still go to school and see Ash! But everything hurts and she feels like a slimy faucet. And she's just a little more tired than she should be. And she can't taste anything, and her hearings all messed up.
And the day is sooo loonnggg.... and she still has to do P.E? What's up with that? And she can't even have medicine, stupid allergies....
Look, all she's saying is maybe there's a reason Jet and her spend their less than 100% days unconscious or delirious.
Good news tho, Ash is almost as comfortable as Jet as a pillow, and the views definitely better.
#hsmtmts#hsmtmts maddox#high school musical the musical the series#hsm the series#hsmtmts season 4#hsmtmts jet#ashlyn caswell#madlyn#Maddox is about as resilient to the sniffles as a middle aged sictom dad from the 2000s

i think working in emergency management would be so fitting for me and my interests. i used to be obsessed as a kid w the cold war and civil defense programs. but i couldn’t articulate what i wanted to know. i wanted to know why they were the way they were, why they made the choices they did and what they’re doing now in the same way. covid fascinated me bc of that. i worked for ups at the time and i loved reading the internal information system stuff about it bc it seemed they already had some plan and i wanted to be the people that did that.
#i love systems!! i love processes! i love how they go wrong and how they go right and developing ways to make them more resilient!!#also i care about people and i know there’s trust in institutions to continue functioning and like i want to be part of that.#so like emergency management or social work.#but thinking abt going back to school hurts bc i’ve already fucked up my financial aid bc i wasn’t really ready yet#oh well. my own fault. no one made me do that.#it hurts to think about what i could do bc it feels like those opportunities aren’t there for me anymore.#im only 23 but i still have nothing to show for it. i should have gotten a degree by now.#and ive tried but i couldn’t swing community college.#but also like. i didnt know then what i know now. but what if it doesn’t matter.#what if i really am just averse to doing anything.#i dont think i am but evidence seems to point to me being uh. pointless.

My roommate and I had a conversation last night and I keep rotating it in my brain and I Don’t Like It
#blue chatter#they called me a resilient person. and no the fuck I am not. I break down so easily over everything and my body is falling apart on me.#I scream in terror when someone knocks on the door too hard the fuck you mean I’m good at handling adversity#I pointed out that I freak out whenever my grade gets low even a little bit#and they were just sitting there like ‘yeah. and then you pick yourself up again and you do the work.’#and no? not always? oftentimes I give up and don’t try hard enough to fix it and let points go that I could have earned#I barely ever go for extra credit opportunities and I’ve never gone to office hours of my own free will#I can’t even think about talking to a professor about a bad grade without wanting to cry? hello?#but they were insistent that even with those things I am still managing Incredibly Well in class given the circumstances. which made me#uncomfortable. like. I don’t think of myself as resilient At All and I feel a bit like I’m lying or tricking them.#I start shaking like a chihuahua when people are upset and I’m In The Vicinity. even when they’re clearly not upset with me.#I really struggle to advocate for myself ever and even when I do I usually feel guilty and walk it back partway so I don’t cause a fight#and I always get way too emotional for the situation when someone has anything they’re upset with me for. which isn’t fair to them bc I need#to be able to take constructive criticism without taking it as a personal attack on me.#like what the fuck do you mean *resilient*. I can’t even handle seeing a bug flying near my face or getting a B in a class. or being told#that I did something wrong. I’m actually significantly worse at handling adversity than I used to be. high school me was a resilientish kid.#and it’s not like I was ever *good* at handling my emotions. even when it was essential for my safety. I’ve always cried way too easily#even when it actively made the situation I was in Much Worse. even when I knew better.#I would get angry and scared and sad and start shaking and crying and even screaming at my parents when they were mad at me even though#I knew that it would always make my life much worse. and extend an already beleaguered argument.#I brought this up with my therapist and she was like ‘well. anybody would have done that if they were treated like you were’.#which. okay. maybe so. I still feel like I should have been able to handle it and just shut up and move on and not make it worse.#but I am aware that this is probably a cognitive distortion. even so. that definitely doesn’t make me resilient.#I just. I feel gross being called resilient. I’m not. I’m weak and easily scared and unable to handle even small amounts of adversity.#the fuck is my roommate even *seeing*.#the annoying part is that they’re generally an insightful person about other people and I know logically that they’re probably right#which is why I’m not going to complain any more about this to their face bc I should just drop it and not make it a Thing#I talk too much about myself and my problems anyway. not every conversation has to be about my brain worms.#but the discomfort is Distinct and Unpleasant. and now I’m just having to sit with it. and Feel Uncomfortable. and try to accept what was#definitely intended as a compliment. I know it’s draining to talk to someone who doesn’t accept any of the kind things you say about them.

I am OK. I am doing good work. I am proud of myself.
I take good care of my cat. I take decent care of myself. I know when to fight. I know when to relax. I am going to pass my last two nursing school pre recs while working full time. I am going to get into nursing school. I am competent and capable. I am worthy of a friend's time, not as a transaction, but because I am an interesting and worthy human being.

Not sure if I am broken by dint of burnout or grad school or overwork or disability. I would like to create again. But my notes document with fic ideas has been untouched since my performance review and realizing I need to publish more papers.
Probably a therapist would help? But a dentist is more urgent. Also nagging the plumber.
#also therapists are hard to shop for#well I guess not that hard#now that I’ve figured out I need a ptsd specialist who works with veterans#not because my own ptsd is particularly severe#but because I’d rather not traumatize another therapist#the therapist I had during Covid#because I wanted extra coping mechanisms to not take out my anxiety and rage on undergrads#was the result of saying ‘give me your most resilient therapist’#and probably she was#but she also had kids and people she cared about#and my other job was Covid related#I was a mean girl in high school#I know exactly what it looks like when something breaks in someone#I don’t want to put that look in someone’s eyes when I’m bitching about how much I hate a project manager#and incidentally mention parts of the project#I figure a therapist who works with vets has heard about some fuckery
