#i need to hurry and get my life

[mifunebooty]

I feel bored. Stagnant. I must get on my driving lessons, drive, sign up for classes, read everything and go get my life since nobody else will give it to me

[kameyyy]

I was just mentally writing a tumblr post abt how I need that iphone asap so I can preview a chat when I don't wanna answer (if I archived them I don't get notifications) and then I was like — wait.. I don't have read-reciepts on, they won't know I read their messages 😭😭😭

[rtolentino]

Ordered Matcha from my wifes coffee shop <3 Someone stop me before I show up to her every shift. She’s the prettiest barista Ive ever seen. I am so in love with my femme.

[badaseyebags]

i wonder what my soulmate is like.. and how much longer until we finally meet 😞 until then…

[ino]

hi i went out to see friends for the first time in a reallyyyy long time

afterwards i cried because i was really convinced they couldn't possibly like me or want to hang out with me anymore because my depression has caused me to become so withdrawn to the point of barely seeing them the last two years

but they hugged me and talked to me like i never left and told me 8000 times how happy they were that i came and we laughed and chilled like we always have

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who from the moment he laid eyes on you, has only ever referred to you as his wife

You, this sweet little thing, running through the halls on base one day when you turn a corner and nearly run headfirst into the Lieutenant, who’s walking alongside Soap

“Oh! Sorry about that, sir.” You told him, never slowing down in your hurried pace as you snuck around his large frame and continued down towards whatever you were evidently late for

The only reason his gaze had followed your retreating form, was that unlike everyone else, you had met his eyes when you spoke, even smiled warmly up at him

That one smile and he was done for

“Who was tha’?” The sergeant had questioned, seeing Ghost’s attention still fixated on you.

“Think that was my wife.”

“Yer what?!”

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who makes it a point to let everyone know that you are in fact his wife

Well, everyone apart from you apparently

He would certainly never abuse his position as a Lieutenant, but some new recruit had the audacity to whistle at you as you walked by? Well 100 laps around the base don’t exactly run themselves

Another soldier saved you a seat next to him in a briefing? He can enjoy scrubbing toilet seats for the next week in that case

Someone actually had the bollocks to ask you for your phone number? Perfect, he needed a volunteer for demonstrating hand to hand combat to the recruits, medics on standby of course

By the time he properly introduces himself to you for the first time, it’s understood by everyone else around that you are, for all intents and purposes, Mrs Riley

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who listens to you tell him your name in a voice that resembles music to his ears, hardly bothering to remember your last name, seeing as it’ll be changing soon enough anyway

“You can call me anythin’ you want, love.” His deep, gravelly voice had sent shivers down your spine, cheeky smirk widening beneath his mask. “So long as you call me, that is.”

By the end of your first date, (you were sitting alone in the dining hall and he wordlessly joined you what do you mean this isn’t a date) he’s wondering if you’ll insist on a ceremony or if he can sweep you away to the nearest courthouse and make this official, slipping a ring onto you finger and himself into you

You had laughed when he put his number into your phone and named himself ‘Husband’, certain that the man was only messing with you, some kind of hazing that you apparently weren’t aware Lieutenants played on the new communications hire, but it was only fair seeing as he’d saved your contact under ‘Wife’

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who is over the moon every time you play along, even if he knows you believe you’re only playing

“Ach, thanks Lt. Just what I needed.” Soap said, seeing Ghost’s approaching form enter the common room, holding a steaming cup of tea in each hand

“S’for my wife. Get your own.” The older man gruffly replied, sliding the mug onto the side table next to where you’re curled up on the couch, reading a book

“Aw, thank you honey.” You giggled, smiling up as him with an expression he thinks would taste even sweeter than honey if he were to run his tongue across your upturned lips

“Happy wife, happy life, sergeant.” Ghost shrugged, ignoring the other man’s pout, landing next to you and reaching an arm behind you across the back of the couch

“God, maybe I really should keep you.” You’d laughed, reaching a leg out to dig your socked toes into his muscled thigh, teasing him

Grasping your foot into his large, strong hands, he began massaging it, uncaring that you were only two of the many people in the common room, not when you looked at him like that, smiling together as though you truly were nothing more than a married couple

Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who surprised you one day, insisting he needed your help with something crucial off base, and drove you to a local shopping outlet to look at none other than dresses

“Is there some sort of party happening?” You’d questioned, confused out of your mind

“Suppose you could consider it a party.” He’d answered, leading you through the many racks of dresses, you noticed were all, very conveniently, white

“Now while you’re lookin’ through dress sizes,” he’d added, taking your left hand in both of his. “You know your ring size? Got my own shoppin’ to do ‘round here.”

I don’t often use a tone of superiority when I say things like “when I did my second masters degree“, because honestly I find it embarrassing to be so overeducated and underexperienced, but when this old man is talking down to me listing all sorts of facts that he reckons I don’t know, purporting to be better at my job than I am… I get haughty about it. Sue me. I’m not a fucking child and I do not have the patience for you today.

Finally breaking out my mini deck for a real reading and man did it call me out and get right to the point. All that time next to me while I sleep must’ve done it. I bought it years ago in Salem when visiting my husband for the first time. Looks like this little deck understood the assignment and gave me all I needed to hear including all I didn’t want to hear but needed to hear regardless.

(Coin is only for scale and has no bearing on the reading)

I'd also like to point out that it's not uncommon for people to "lose" years of their life this way. I felt horrible for having wasted so much time with an abusive partner as I was healing from it. But after a while I realised that people rarely have a perfect life the way we might think we're supposed to.

People have mental health issues, physical problems, they end up in abusive relationships or addiction, and that's not even talking about that there are children of addicts or abusers, etc., who don't even get a good start. I realised that people keep fucking up until they learn how to do this life thing in a way that works for them. And bad things happening and learning how to deal with it isn't being side-tracked or losing time - it is part of the journey.

Realising that I hadn't failed at life for "wasting" my youth with an abuser made me kinder to myself, and also made me realise I was surrounded by people with their own journeys. There's no rush. We're finding our way as we go.

something important to remember is that there's always time. if you lost many years to abuse or mental illness, you will get a chance to live life on your terms. there is no limit on the age you have to be to achieve goals. you can go back to school at 30, or switch careers at 40. you can start new hobbies at any age. there is no cut off age for being happy and content. if you're trapped right now, you will get the opportunity to become who you want to be.

I cant tell if I think im experiencing hypomania or im just experiencing depression in cycles and being dramatic about it

[redrosecut]

The worst thing is when you realize you are the most reasonable in the room.
