#i just need some time to recharge

[papermint-airplane]

I have adulted harder today than I have ever adulted before. I have so many adult decisions to think about and my brain is at the point of super saturation.

I am planning on taking the weekend off from adulting. Like, it's not my weekend to work and I still have a job for 2-3 months at least, so taking two days off to recover from all the drama is ok, right?

Someone please tell me it's ok. 😢

had this brain & skuld wip for Years that I've finally decided to just make into a one shot. enjoy!

It’d taken some convincing, but now that Brain’s finally got time to himself, he can breathe a bit easier. Realign, compartmentalize, the whole nine yards. He’s practically a pro at getting used to a new normal by this point. Just. An adjustment period, is what this is. He’ll get with the program eventually. He always does.

To anyone who needs this:

It's ok to take a break. It is a need. Do not feel guilty for getting up to stretch, eat, shower, sleep, even play, read, listen, or watch something for a few minutes to ease stress and tension. Even if you feel like you've done insufficient work. Turn to God and he will help you.

(I keep repeating Psalm 23:4)

I'm trying to tell myself this too. I keep breaking down this week and I feel like the work I do will never be enough or be finished. But it will be, eventually. With God's help.

does anyone else worry they're going to get their Introvert Card revoked if they admit they don't constantly long for isolation

(does anyone then question why that worries them?)

Would you like some older Maxwil recs? Some older fics I'm fond of are Le Nom de Perte (The Name of Loss) (I'm a sucker for soulmate AUs- that whole set of four is pretty great,) & The Price of Pride

Currently reading Le Nom de Perte and it's not just good but also admirable that the writer updated it recently after literal years of nothing. I'm impressed and really happy for the person

The summary "Soulmates aren't always what you're hoping for. And sometimes, you give up on even hoping." got me. EASY catch there lol

Still have to check The Price of Pride but it sounds good. Summary: "With the group split up into teams due to a few incidents at base camp, Maxwell and Wilson are set with trying to survive the world, and each other."

Thank you for the recommendations! I'll definitely finish reading them... when my brain gets a reading spree again

Hey as a super introverted but not shy person I'd just like to say the jokes about extroverts "adopting" introverts to "get them out of their shell" are actually completely unfunny and it just goes to show how little respect a lot of y'all have for the fact that we genuinely don't want excessive social interaction and that y'all are forcing us to do something that brings us extreme physical and mental discomfort because you perceive our introversion as a failing rather than as purely a difference in personality.

We don't need your "help" to socialize. We're not children. We're simply not interested in spending every waking second of our lives talking to people and being talked at in return.

i just wanna read but my options in this house r either 1) my room, which is nice n private but only has my bed to sit on, or more preferable The Floor, or 2) the front room, which has a comfy chair n lamp set up, but family come in n out of which is extremely distracting

if i wanna b able to read more than a sentence at a time it's gotta be my room But i'll probably b too uncomfy to focus anyway.. bleeehh

also this house is So unfriendly to device use, which ig is good. every room has massive windows so bright sun all day, n all the blinds/curtains got torn down but not replaced. plus all the window settings r rotted or filled w asbestos so its not worth putting new ones up atm

i moved in in august n the idea was have the house liveable by xmas but lol @ that happening. obvs i can't fix anything myself or organise getting some1 to do it.. the fam's gotta take out loans to repair the house 2 sell it but everyone's got 100 other things to deal with first.. i'm just here helping keep the place sort of tidy in the meantime. god i'm already sick of it tho, the 2 months not paying rent have been nice but id like my own space asap

(...gotta find a new roommate, gotta find an affordable apartment somewhere i can get to work)...aiya.. i just want like a 1bedroom house out of the city, man

[icewindandboringhorror]

Recent ones of these even though they all look the same lol.. forcing myself to document progress..

At the first long rest we took, I like the idea that Shadowheart is laying there like 'my unlikely compatriot is rather brave and clever. He got us out of fight with just his words and, despite his cold, aloof demeanor, was shockingly agreeable to making finding someone to get the parasite out of our heads priority number one. Perhaps I can trust him after all...'

All while Ronan, serial abuser of Thaumaturgy, Blade Ward, and Guidance, is wondering if Bahamut is going to give him a good grade in Cleric today.

i don’t like talking about my negative feelings and thoughts that much, but i’ve just been oddly stressed and overwhelmed and idk why

these past few days have been pretty hard on me with some irl situations and problems and drama and just crap.. so i just wanted to let some some stuff out. (more vents stuff under cut)

but like.. have you ever felt so stressed and overworked for no reason? or there might be a reason.. just can’t put my finger on it. i’m really tired right now and school’s hard and life’s hard and i just wanna ahsgsjsbwh!!! i’m trying to give myself some hugs and reassurance but it feels like it has no.. like.. real meaning,, if you get what im saying. really annoyed by life and existence and having to comfort my close friends and i’m scared and don’t want them to hurt themselves but i don’t wanna hurt myself.. guh this is like all over the place wawawawawa!!!! i’m scared of having my friends get themselves stressed comforting me but.. that idea is a lil silly .. haha :’3. my mind is everywhere but where i want it to be. the once calming beat if my music now feels empty and emotionless , my plushes aren’t as soft and cozy as they were before, and my friend and family’s voice aren’t soothing and fun anymore.. i don’t know why i feel like this wewawewgsvwhsvwhsvwh- i don’t like all this all over the place random rambling, but i just had to say some things

i’m okay, i prommy! just wanted to doodle some things to help me feel better

i mostly posted the drawings cause i’m kinda proud of them

i’m gonna be okay. don’t worry :)
