looking back it's actually super funny that i told my parents that i wanted to take a semester off of college and the first thing they did was call my therapist and book me an appointment. i was like "mom dad school is making me want to kms i want to take time off" and they were like "oh god this is above our paygrade. what's your therapist's phone number". they did not let me take a semester off, but i got to go to therapy about it, so, like. problem solved! (it was not fucking solved)

#lyz talks #like GREAT THANKS MOM AND DAD. NOW I CAN TELL A PROFESSIONAL THAT I HATE ACADEMIA. PROBLEM SOLVED!#LIKE I ALREADY KNEW I HATED ACADEMIA! THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO TAKE TIME OFF!!!#this all went down in jan 2020 LMFAO so like. we all know what happened next!#i felt very monkey's paw-d when lockdown happened. like extremely monkey's paw-d. i was like oh GOD this is NOT what i meant!!!!#anyways. was talking about this with a friend the other day and like. objectively it's kinda funny.#like my parents r well-meaning and also completely fucking oppressive and misguided.#yes they love me yes they never made the right decisions when it mattered. they don't know what i need. they're trying their best #it's not enough but by god they love me and that's more than most people get. it has to count for something.
