Lol I’ve been crying on and off all day. How’s everyone doing today?

Feeling appreciated and loved continuously is so important. Tell your loved ones how you feel and show it.

Phil and Tallulah sat in the living room as Dan walks through the door per Kristin's insistence. A sort of amusement wells up in the bird man's expression, mirth in his eyes as he gives a relaxed wave.

"Hey, welcome over, mate." He calls, then turns right back to the puzzle. Tallulah kept glaring at the thing like she was trying to blow it up with her mind, a small cat in her lap. She gives a confused glance at the newcomer, then an almost shy wave. For what it's worth, she doesn't seem surprised either as Kristin led the blaze away to the guest room.

Actually, she kinda looks like she's planning something.

Dan blinked, he scratched the back of his head confusingly and lets out a sigh. Chayanne left him alone before Dan followed over and got greeted by the rest of the house. He holds a hand out as a wave to the two.

"Hey- Sorry I'm.. here. I really shouldn't."

Actually I am not that obsessed with sonic prime (not as of now at least haven't watched season 2). Not because "sonic is dumb now" but because of knuckles' "I don't need the details, just tell me who to smash" line. upsets me for many reasons.

Crazy how one night can be the happiest moment of you've ever felt and simultaneously the worst... and the consequences leaving a high chance of backlash that'll ripple forever... I fucking hate my heart, I hate my hands, I hate my fucking morales, my everything is garbage, and anything good is gone over such a dumb fucking choice from a worthless mind.

Aaand coming live from my bed this day wasn't good to me at all.

Question, how does one makes themselves cry because they feel upset that they feel like crying, but it just not happening.

ENTRY 277

Between my full-time work schedule, attending college full-time, my toxic mother, and my abusive ex, I was under an immense amount of stress when I was pregnant and for the first few years of my son's life.

I hardly remember anything else other than the fight for survival, peace, and quiet. I hardly remember anything else but the struggling and worrying, doing the best I could while watching friends and family turn their backs on me after my ex left.

I came across these posts and it seems there are thousands of women that have experienced what I have. Makes me sad for us all to be honest.

At the end of the day we made it through, but I feel like it wouldn't have been so much to ask if any of us could've actually enjoyed our pregnancies and early childhood years with our children without verbal or emotional abuse. Not that I want to dwell, but it does set me back emotionally, just a little bit when I think about it.

May we all see new beginnings or have better endings than how we started. More thoughts later.

my friend replied so now i shall :3.

my mom is an art historian, and i've been going to museums since i was real little. i saw work that was, while important, upsetting. in moma there is (or was, haven't been there in a while) a painting called "Die" by Faith Ringgold. it's definitely a shocking painting, and it upset me a lot as a kid. everytime we'd go up the elevator i'd make sure to look away. that art piece is very important, as it's both artistically beautiful and has an important and currently relevant subject.

i definitely wished my mother actually engaged with me when i said something upset me. i'm glad she didn't coddle me. take me out of the museum and send letters about how upsetting and shocking this was. but i think one thing about art is that while it's sometimes meant to be disturbing, you're allowed to be skeeved off by it.

now that i'm older, i think and reflect about what upsets me in art, media, politics, and day-to-day life. "Die" upset me because it is a violent piece. the way Ringgold paints humans is a bit eerie, with drawn out faces and larger-than-life eyes. it expresses so much terror in a way that more realistic faces would fail to convey. the painting towered over me as a child. i was constantly confronted by it whenever we went to moma. but im glad an art piece like that can be so public. it deserves to be.

uhhhh anyways engage with your kids about the media they watch.

I often see posts about curating your own online experience that make the point, “content creators aren’t your parents.” And, yes, that is absolutely true! And I try not to be like “as a parent,“ but as a parent…

EVEN PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE READING/VIEWING BEHAVIOR. NOT filter everything ahead of time for their kid.

When my kiddo was 5, his pediatrician was asking him the usual Well Child Visit questions (“What are your favorite foods? What do you do to get your body moving? Do you know what to do if you get lost in a public place?” Etc.) and she asked, “What do you do if you see something on TV that scares or upsets you?”

I piped up like, “Oh, he doesn’t watch TV without one of us in the room,” which was true at the time and is still largely true now. She said, “Yes, but that won’t always be the case, so make sure you’re talking to him about what to do if he sees something that upsets him.”

So we started talking to him about that, and the answer is simple: “Turn it off or leave the room, and talk to someone you trust about what you saw and what you’re feeling.”

The answer is NOT “Ask your parents to make sure you never see anything upsetting again,” because that’s just not possible — and ultimately that would be doing the kid a disservice, since sooner or later he’s going to be out in the world where we can’t control what he watches or reads. That doesn’t mean we don’t try to make sure he’s watching/reading age-appropriate stuff, it just means that’s not the only safeguard he has — and that’s a good thing.

So yes, content creators aren’t your parents and aren’t responsible for making sure you never see anything you don’t like — but also, your own parents should have taught you what to do when that happens. So if they didn’t, take it from me, your internet mom:

Turn it off.

Walk away.

Talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling.

And leave the person who created the thing that upset you alone.
