i love the idea of steddie getting out of hawkins, having these big lives and chasing big dreams.

but in a more real, vindictive way, i LOVE the idea of steddie staying hawkins and having a bunch of kids that absolutely terrorize the entire town because they have both munson and harrington traits in the absolute worst ways

Okay she has used Adaine's furious fist on Oisin's RELATIVE, now she's just gotta hit Oisin himself (not to kill Oisin, but she deserves to punch him for what he put her through)

Psychology Today says the average high school kid now has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s, and that's directly related to social media.

i feel so much genuine respect and gratitude for ppl who can end a text conversation with "that's all for now, i hope you enjoy the rest of your night" like UNIRONICALLY girl i wish i could kindly but firmly indicate boundaries like that instead of letting a conversation bleed out in a weird and uncomfortable way or unintentionally ghosting people! one day i'll learn 💪

You’re 16, and in some form of nihilistic self importance, you just laughed in the face of a high school bully. She threatens to knock you out if you don’t stop. You just watched a Doctor Who in which Clara Oswald says “threats only work if you deliver” so you tell her to hit you. She doesn’t. You feel big. You feel powerful. You tell her to enjoy high school because no adult will tolerate her abuse and she has reached her life’s peak in year 11. She hits you hard. But it was worth it. Your classmates are watching, and you hug the one she scared. Later, your mum will receive a message from that classmate’s mum saying she won’t stop talking about you. You will chase this high for the rest of your life but in the end, you also peaked in year 11.

22nd April - 22 Days until Finals

I didn't study much on the 21st so u can say studying for almost 5 hrs was some guilt-driven motivation, but it helped :)

I haven't been going out a lot even tho the doc said i must "breath fresh air" everyday. So i played some badminton with my brother yesterday (i was so bad at it) but something's better than nothing.

From tmrw i want to get out consistently atleast once a day /goal 🎯

Stuff i did:

Textbook reading/summarizing

Made flashcards for 1 chp

Revised 1 chp (this was a first bcs i havnt finished half the chps so revision for 1 is great)

23 cards reviewed

I want to keep up with yesterday's flow even today, so manifesting a productive day for me as well as you 💖🫶

I don't play Project Sekai very much anymore. Even so, I feel attached to the character Mizuki Akiyama. It's to the point where even if I don't play the hame anymore, I still read her event dialogues.

And this is because Mizuki is amazing transgender representation.

It's not a gag. It's not obscure game trivia. The experiences and feelings behind the transgender experience is something the story deliberately explores through this character.

It so surprising to me because I never expected a HATSUNE MIKU RHYTHM GACHA MOBILE GAME to have amazing queer representation

Maybe it's because I'm not used to anime-styled content feeling "real." Queer topics are never addressed. Everybody in the cast is an idealized collection of gimmicks. Any themes are relatively shallow. By contrast, Project Sekai goes SO hard--- touching on depression, suicidal ideation, crumbling under expectations, perfectionism, and the transgender experience.

the prefrontal cortex is the site of decision-making, thought and emotional regulation. it develops until the age of 25 years.

which means,

you don't have to beat up yourself for things you did before you turned 25 that were not your proudest moments. yes, we mess up. yes, it has consequences. but your brain quite literally was incapable of making the most perfect adult decisions all the time by that age.

even people older than that can have a lapse of judgment. so, it is absolutely normal if you do/did as well.

as long as you learn and grow from your mistakes- it is okay. you are/were a really young person. we are all doing it for the first time.

how to save a bad day.

Today was not a good day. I had an exam in the morning that I prepared so hard for but I walked out knowing I'd pretty much failed. I walked out pretty dejected and just overall, I felt pretty lost. So I thought I'd take myself out (a lil pity solo date) to try and make myself feel better.

Go on a walk. Seeing as I was already out of the house (I was at uni) I took myself on a little walk. I walked into town and just browsed through a bunch of shops. I didn't need anything so it was nice to just window shop.

Go to a coffee shop. I went to Black Sheep Coffee - one of my favourite coffee shops in town - and ordered a decaf coffee (it was like midday so I chose decaf so that I'd actually be able to sleep). I sat on a little corner table and just people watched for a little bit, while I was waiting for my coffee.

Read a book. After getting my coffee, I pulled out my book. I'm currently reading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. NGL, I was slightly self-conscious - I live in predominantly a university town so there are a lot of people my age and older, and I am reading a book aimed at children - but in all honesty, I love the book too much to dwell on it for too long.

Journal. After a while of reading and sipping my coffee, I felt a bit more calm and wanted to journal. Journalling helps me when I'm stressed or anxious sometimes because it helps me work out exactly how I feel. It also helps me keep track of what happened when because I have the worst memory ever. After journalling (and starting on a bit of revision) I headed off home - the walk was nice, even if it's long. I listened to a podcast on the way home. NGL though, it was freezing cold because it was like 2 -3 degrees at the time.

Shower. I got home and took a shower to warm up. I will say though showers are great to let go of whatever's weighing on you. Literally, let it wash away from you :)

Relax/Do Something Entertaining. I watched a few more episodes of Doctor Who while waiting for my hair to dry. I also started crocheting a new project :)

Make Dinner. I made (Fake) Chicken Noodle Soup for dinner - if you want a recipe, let me know and I'll post it here or on my tiktok (@niagosavi).

Try and Get An Early Night. I think I went to bed around 10pm that night - I had been awake since like 6am so I was knackered.

Bad days are inevitable but they are not the end of the world. Remember, it's a bad day, not a bad life.

Nobody talks about how stupid you feel when you apbruptly change career paths 3/4s into your final year of high school. Like yes I've spent 12 years studying creative arts. Yes I want to completely 180 that shit into forensics and criminal psychology. Yes I'm stupid. Yes I'm doing it anyways.

Sabo still struggles with memory loss. He had his childhood back, of course, he remembers Ace and Luffy and everything they did together. But he doesn't remember some stuff. Some anecdotes Luffy tells oh so excitedly? He can't recall that those happened. And if he does, it's all blurry and never at all like Luffy says. But he never says anything because that would break his brother's heart, to know his older brother isn't fully back with him, so he nods and smiles and pretends he knows what Luffy is talking about every time.

His room is filled with Post-it notes. Stupid, really. Dumb stuff. But he has all the meetings he needs to remember and the missions he has to do, along with everything he wants to write down at some point properly. The walls are covered in pictures of the people he loves (Luffy, Ace, Koala, Robin... All the others that have ever meant something to him because he refuses to forget somebody again).

He keeps writing dumb stuff down. Anything. He refuses to forget. He denies the possibility of doing it again.

But he forgets. Sabo keeps forgetting important dates. Important parts of his life, like his past with his brothers (he forgets a random adventure they had that he swore he had talked about the day prior) and crucial things he has to do. He has a hard time picturing his memories. Putting them in his brain. Turning them into images. Saying it's frustrating is a huge understatement.

Koala helps him out, of course. She's hard on him so he finishes his paperwork, but she knows it's difficult sometimes. She's his personal calendar and diary. She informs him of what he has to do during the week and always tries to talk and talk about anecdotes that she knows he still remembers but knows he loves to hear again.

His mental health isn't the best either, but he refuses to acknowledge it. There's a revolution at hand, he can't stop working. And fighting. And doing more and more and more. But sometimes it's just too much. Sometimes he goes into depressive episodes he can't control, and the medication is either addicting or the worst thing that has ever happened to him. Sometimes he's a bit too intense. Koala says he needs to calm down, that he has a problem with his fixation on the revolution and his past. Sabo keeps saying that it's fine. But he sometimes forgets or has blurry images of the fights and the people he has killed, filled with energy and excitement and like he has the power of a God. He doesn't like those. Enjoys the moment. Hates to forget it. Hates to know what he did during it too, even if it was for a good cause. Despises the look Koala gives him, also. Makes her promise not to tell Luffy about all of this.

But it's fine, he keeps saying. Sabo will keep trying to never forget anything ever again.
