#hit me that wow i survived childhood #i dont think ive ever really given myself credit for that #ive always deflected it #i always had to like present like a plan of the future to my mom so i never really carried the thought of like #not surviving #but like i was always very self destructive and cataclysmic and splitting #and i never really recognized that about myself until i really started dealing with debilitating depression in college #college and dropping out and going back #i never really synthesized that time in life as a singular version of myself #cuz i was going thru a lot of changes in those years #i am having a lil bit of a 'who am i' thing right this moment #idk #anti depressants are good #well im funny and im chill i know that much #i have music and shows that i like #i like taking pictures of my cat and making patches #painting and drawing #my brain has always been faster with ideas than words and that why i used to stutter #that and my mom wanted me to be right handed which idk but i was told that had something to do with it #ill take any opportunity to be smug because i think its funny #i angst about how i miss my family but i objectively do better the less i talk to them #im really glad i dont want to hurt myself these days

thinking about the economic divide in the outsiders again. sigh.

#god the social divide is bad but it all links back to the economics #the the cycle of poverty all of the greasers get stuck in #they drop out cause they aren’t getting help and take the jobs they are able to get cause it’s that or nothing #stuck at jobs they can’t advance in cause they didn’t get to graduate or go to college #and their parents are broke so they couldn’t afford it anyway and they need them to work to support the family #and around and around it goes again #i can relate this to every single character #this isn’t even mentioning the way poc are affected by this cycle #two bit comes to mind a lot esp with his alcoholism and absent dad #he had to step up as the man of the house ever since he was young (in my canon) and so he had to stay in that cycle #there wasn’t a way for him to get out when everything is keeping him here and he has to support his family #sigh. this isn’t even half of my thoughts but i’ve been yapping hard #just the cycle of poverty they get stuck in. it’s everything #the outsiders broadway #the outsiders musical #the outsiders #sodapop curtis #darry curtis #ponyboy curtis #johnny cade #twobit mathews #two bit mathews #steve randle #the outsiders ace #ace outsiders #ace

Never thought I'd edit Sarge to Mitski but here we are

#I added at least one clip from each season he's in #I know I'm a genius #Anyways no lore drop today #actually wait no never mind shits been going ON #First our fire alarms kept going off so my mom literally REMOVED them from the ceiling so we have no fire alarms now #Then my brother flunked out of college and probably can't get back in #So sucks for him 😛#he might also have to get his big toes cut off since he stubbed them and they got infected #bro has so many issues #anyways #red vs blue #rvb #rooster teeth #rvb19 #rvb19 spoilers #rvb sarge #edit #edits #rvb restoration

I'm regards of your post about getting a degree, a cousin of mine just turned 30, she has been working with her degree in medicina for a couple of years now, and she told us the other day that she wanted to go back to school because she doesn't like her line of work anymore, she's gonna keep working to pay her studies. I think that as long as we like, want and can afford doing that nobody is too old to do so, I believe that as human we're curious and seek knowledge and bettering ourselves by nature, so go for it if you want

thank you! i agree with you. i think my hesitancy came from not wanting to attend an in-person campus because i would feel out of place around people a lot younger than me. but I've decided to finish my degree in online school & am gonna attend the spring or fall semester next year 100% online.

my desire to go back to school simply stems from wanting to make a living wage and do better for myself, because even though it's possible to find a decent job without a degree, and i know having a degree wont guarantee me an amazing job, it will at least open the door to jobs that pay higher wages. things are getting more and more expensive here in Florida and on sep. 30th my job that actually paid pretty well decided to let 1200+ employees go bc they were "downsizing" (aka: a lot of the jobs have been taken over by AI which just happens in the tech field now unfortunately 😔) and i am just REALLY struggling to find a job that pays more than $15-$18/hr without having any sort of degree. and unfortunately that money isn't going to cut it because i have bills to pay. i have the skills required for the higher paying jobs, but without that degree, a lot of them wont even consider me 🤪 so this has been a big realization that i need to do something now before i get to a point where i am in my 30s and still cant afford to live without a roommate. (not that there is anything wrong with that of course! i personally just really, really want to finally be able to live alone.)

im hoping if i can have a decent degree by the time i am 28 or 30, i will be able to make a better living for myself than i am now! ✨🩷

#ash answers #Anonymous #HONESTLY i really really regret dropping out #but i couldnt afford college back when i was attending and i didnt receive much grant money #i completed nearly 2 years of college #but it's better to go back late than never at all!!!

Sorry, but Phineas and Ferb going to college as adults is soooo fake. 1) What the fuck is college gonna teach them? 2) They're both WAY too restless to study for four years or more for ONE degree. They spent a single afternoon building to the MOON. FOUR YEARS might as well be an ETERNITY. Spending that in SCHOOL?? WASTE OF TIME.

#phineas and ferb #p&f fandom pls stop doing this in fanfics it's so untrue #they both clearly dropped out of high school and immediately got their GEDs anyway #not as impressive as baljeet who got his first degree in middle school—#but y'know phineas and ferb waited until freshman year because of the social opportunities #then they spend their twenties solving world hunger and ending war everywhere and not only saving endangered species but bringing a few BACK #phineas uses a teleporter to visit isabella at her college whenever he wants #and he and ferb have a multi-terrain mobile home they share that has twenty stories and two pools on the inside #I've read so many fics that go the same route 'Act Your Age' went #where real life + adulthood bog down on the boys #and that SUCKS #it's realistic sure. life gets harder when you grow up. but so what??#this show has ALWAYS been about taking the universe in your hands and moulding it to whatever you want #no the boys won't go to college they won't separate or give up on their big ideas or pay taxes #it's THEIR world and everyone is better for having lived in it

had quite the night drive earlier this evening.

#just me rambling again #web weaving #(?)#uh. one of my friends who is out of town for college was visiting and i got to see him and our friends and the only core member of that #group of people missing was my ex girlfriend who you may also know of as my wonderful wife #who has I assume been very busy with their own life things but has also barely and very sparsely had any hint of communication with any of #us within the past few months which I've been realizing very recently sort of hurts my feelings because we used to be so close and #they had been saying that they would be constantly making sure we still were in each other's lives. but then very quickly have #seemingly dropped off the face of the earth #anyways. I was driving aforementioned friend who is in town back home (family home not college obv) and when i was finally going back #towards my house afterwards my Google maps finally lead me to an area that i was more familiar with driving and i got to an #intersection and it was telling me to take a right to go home but i knew that i knew the way perfectly from that intersection to my #ex girlfriend / best friend / wifes familys house from all of the times I've gone that direction through the past years and so #i turned off my directions and i took a left towards their house #not super sure why but my brain and body just knew it was something i needed to do and so i went and drove down their street and cried #a lot the whole time and then drove myself home from their house once again following a super familiar path #and idk im still feeling very emotional about it. the fact that halloween by noah kahan was the first song to play on Spotify #after i made that left turn im sure didnt help (knowing that i miss them so much and am going to be leaving this area myself #soon enough here and there's been an open offer for a while now that they are welcome to follow and live with me once they get their degree #(and also um. halloween is next week lol)#idk i just havent felt the full force of how badly i miss having them in my life until tonight. when i was around this person i could feel #our souls singing in harmony. i genuinely cannot describe the feelings of our relationship in words i feel like only vaguely abstract art #could communicate the connection that was forged between us and the level of understanding and knowing #something not dissimilar to looking into the sun directly or trying to describe a vivid color to someone who is completely blind #something about the way the entire universe breathes in unison and everything around us are all pieces of the same stars #sigh #i miss my wife tails i miss her a lot /ref

Daniel LaRusso has just dropped out of college to pursue his passion as an artist. He has fallen into an art block, craving a muse. That's when he meets the most beautiful man he's ever laid eyes on.

An Artist!Daniel AU <3

#GAAHH thinking so hard abt this #Daniel going to college due to the pressure surrounding it but realizes his passion for art after taking a couple art courses #I also have this idea where his art professor was Silver #but silver held him back and manipulated him saying he couldn't be an artist or whatever so Daniel's like ay fuck you *drops out*#bein a depressed artist facing terrible art block #feeling like he has no purpose but then miyagi takes him to an art museum to see if it could give him inspiration #but instead Daniel sees Johnny looking at the art and immediately falls in love #doesn't even talk to him #just goes home and fills sketchbooks up with Johnnys face #AHHH I need to write this so bad I #it's just me projecting onto Daniel tbh #karate kid #cobra kai #lawrusso #daniel larusso #johnny lawrence #my thing

Whoopsie time

#vent tw #cw vent #I'm stupid to have dropped out of college #now I don't know what I'm doing and I can't do the very passion I set out to do #Animation was my dream and I ruined it for a guy who groomed me and ended up physically abusing me.#I didn't realize trying to animate and failing because I don't understand it no matter what I look up about it would result in a breakdown #Not to mention I'm regressing in my art skill right now.#My art is ASS right now no matter how hard I try to improve it #references... Practice... Doodles... Warmups you name it #nothing is going right and I have the urge to quit art altogether #I'm not going to and I can't bring myself to ever do that but It's aching inside me #I want my art to be good according to me. not others. People can say it's great but if I don't like it... I'm not going to settle for it #I shouldn't have left #I loved college #I loved SELU #I loved my life back then #And now I'm here. And I'm not happy anymore.#Even with writing. I even took a long break from writing and I still can't do it right according to myself.#Now I have no muse or motivation for any of it #I feel empty. And I can't go to therapy because I can't afford the balance on my account.#I just feel like I failed.#I feel like I failed my parents and myself. They always tell me theyre so proud of me but I don't understand how they can be.#Not when I ended up in two severely abusive relationships... Dropped out of college twice... And now work in a factory full time.#Yeah i make decent money in a place I enjoy but it all just feels empty.#I could've been more #i could've done better #[[out of ammo]];; ooc

I just found a clinic nearby that does gender-affirming surgeries so top surgery might actually be a feasible thing for me in the near(ish) future

I found a job that seems to have all the stuff I liked from one of my last jobs without the extra bullshit I didn't (can't apply for it currently but that kind of job exists and that's reassuring)

Things might be starting to look up for me

#personal #i would have to use the money i saved up for college for the surgery and i dont know what kind of wait list they have going on #but i dont have enough money to get the kind of degree i want anyway here #so i might as well drop that money on something meaningful to me instead #not having much luck figuring out the getting back to therapy thing atm and im not going to assume these things on their own will fix me #but damn if they wouldn't help #and if i can get back into work i can move back in with my old roommate #(as far as i know my room's still available id just have to talk to him about it once ive got money to offer for bills again)#and with this kind of 'stay at home until there's work' job itll mean im not spending all my energy trying to survive the day #so i should still have some left over for doing the things i love doing (without having to worry about those things being able to make mone #god i havent felt this hopeful about my prospects in a long fucking time #maybe i can still make a place for myself

yall ever end up thinking back on periods of ur life and ur like. bro what

#so i dropped out of school at like 13/14 to be home fulltime to take care of my grandparents yeah yeah whtever #whats insane is remembering that when i was 15 my mom tried to arrange a marriage for me with some guy who was in his early 20s #he was the deacons EXTREMELY autistic son and we had spoken like. 3 times. it had been fine like he was pretty cool #but like. she talked me into tentatively agreeing with her. she went to talk to the deacon and everything about it #fucking hello? hello? taps the mic isaiah southern baptist child bride real?#that always pulls the same thread in my brain of how my grandparents died only a month or so apart #so the pastor had just finished doing my grandmas memorial service when we asked him to do the funeral service to bury them both together #and the first thing out of his fucking mouth was 'hah wow didnt expect to see all of you again so soon!'#and that pavilion was SILENT. besides like someone sniffling #awkward fuckhead piece of shit that guy sucked #yk he once threw away what he had written all his notes to preach on bc a gay couple had just moved to the area and wanted to try our churc #so he spent the whole time ranting about how gay people go to hell instead and they left in the middle of it crying #hell on earth.#my mom convinced him to start a school thru the church and i dont think ANY of their teachers went to college besides literally 1 #bc she had just retired from the local middle school and had the free time to participate #but then i guess it all just comes back around #my brother graduated from there and became a ta when he was 18 and started dating a 14/15yo so #genuinely so glad i got the fuck outta there #what a nightmare that town was. christ

hmmm I do not see how I'm going to be able to make it to 26

#5 months left until then but like. I say this not in a I'm a threat to my own safety way but in a way that expresses #how I cannot parse my own future. its august and Ive accomplished nothing. no jobs want me. everyone is moving on with their lives #doing stuff making plans being successful and I just. have nothing. nothing to show for anything. I dropped out of college #didnt work for a year and then had that retail job for not even a full year #got fired. it's been a year since then and what do I have. fuck all that's what. the world keeps turning and I'm stuck in quicksand #watching everyone dawdle off into the sunset #no marketable skills. I won't go back to retail. I won't do food service. I refuse to debase myself for a big corporation just to live #I won't compromise my morals for a big company just to live. every day I wake up and for what #to just roll the boulder that is a 24 hour day up a hill and when I go to sleep it rolls back down and I have to do it over again #I've been doing that for what seems like forever. there's no change. nothing has changed. everyone else has but I haven't #no life no job no money no prospects it really would be better if I just fuckin. well there'd be no major changes to anyone's day to day #I can say that much

Having demand avoidance in a medical setting is literally hell. Like, patient autonomy is already absolute ass. It's only made worse when doctors CONSISTENTLY tell you what to do and act like you HAVE to do it instead of consulting with you first like normal fucking people.

#also “”“”medical necessity“”“” is NOT an excuse here.#ive been to plenty of doctors that thoroughly discuss a range/timeline of treatment and explain it IN DETAIL before saying “thats what i-#-recommend“ instead of just going ”okay were gonna do this. im gonna explain the prep to you a mile a minute and if you have any follow up-#-questions im just gonna repeat part of my spiel with no clarification. and if i cant answer your questions too bad :)“#not to mention how many doctors just force you to do things that WILL NEVER WORK #like one therapist tried forcing me to do emdr when i was only IN HER TOWN for the summer and i had no internet access when i was at college #im pretty sure emdr takes several weeks to work and i did not have that kind of time available to me. i couldnt just drop out bc of ptsd.#also the number of times ive had to decline an ESI is stupid. I've already had 2! they didn't work! i had a bad reaction to the meds!#why am i being forced to do it again?#also back surgery. i cant do that because i am a white trash rural kid and our home (which we built ourselves) CANNOT be accessible enough #for spinal surgery recovery. but i went to the surgeon and he was like “thats valid! and also surgery literally wouldnt help you so idk why-#-they sent you here.“ : l It's cool to be right all the time lol #its like. no wonder i developed medical demand avoidance after so much traumatizing and malpracticy bullshit in my life #demand avoidance #medical demand avoidance #chronic illness burnout #chronic illness #chronic pain #medical tw #ptsd #disability #medical neglect #medical trauma #vent #this might be too personal. if i do delete it ill have it rb'd on my boar-deer-whitetrashbutterfly blog first #idk i just havent really been able to find anyone else talking about this specific effect of being chronically ill/disabled.
