Life is just a little bit more colorful and clearer today - this phenomena has gone up and down over the past year.

This usually happens when I'm feeling at peace with my body and my life. I am very earnestly trying to be more at peace with it all, but I always realize that I can't force peace... if I feel like I'm forcing it, then I'm already out of alignment, and I'm not focusing on the right things.

Last year, I really wanted to be at peace. I fought hard for every single day. I got dressed up more. I did things that I enjoyed. I spent time with loved ones. I had so much fucking sex. I dated probably more than six people - many times, all at the same time. I made it to the majority of my healthcare appointments. I traveled more than I had in the past several years combined. I didn't catch covid again, not even once haha. I read so much more. I pushed myself to keep trying to play games (haven't made that much progress, but today, I did ONE slay the spire run - and I felt great about it) more. I pushed myself to enjoy television and movies again (and I do - I enjoy them quite a bit again!).

But I wasn't at peace. I just really wanted to be.

I had crippling executive dysfunction sometimes, and it was so embarrassing. So many meltdowns. My last move... was not fun for me, even though I love my new apartment. I felt so attacked by the whole fucking world, even though I had so much privilege - I had friends who helped me, I had enough funds/credit to hire a moving service, I found a nice place with all my requirements, etc.

I really wanted to be heard still.

I was so self-critical.

I cut off so many friends - many of whom were really bad for my mental health.

I was a jerk to some people, and I didn't mean to be.

I was rightfully a jerk to some people, and I did mean to be.

--

Life is settling down again, even though I can feel like change is always around the corner. What I mean is... my nervous system feels so much better, but I am still healing.

Last year, I think I wished I could be where I am today.

I was so self-conscious because I could see and hear how people looked and talked about me. I wanted love/care/compassion/understanding, but I didn't want fucking pity or for people to act differently.

I didn't want to be invalidated or infantilized either - what I was going through was immensely hard.

I decided to do everything all at once last year: the unmasking of my neurodivergence, the confrontation with my family (multiple times), the leaving of my very short marriage, other breakups that tore me apart, constantly trying to stand up for myself even though I wanted to jump out of my own skin, FINDING A FUCKING JOB, working side gigs, trying to get divorced as quickly as possible while my ex was just out there being a massive asshole, working on actually feeling and expressing my emotions, trying to be healthier, finding joy in my hobbies...

finding joy and peace again

I love my friends. Seriously the best people.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

okay is she being actually immature or is it just a woman over 30 expressing a human experience you find to be immature.

like yeah. at certain ages... let shit go. im not defending the real immature shit. im not defending the karen you're picturing. i worked in retail i hate those people too. (once somebody got mad at me because she didn't like how our winter window decor was a snowman smoking a pipe. i wish i was joking).

but men at 57 will write books about how 17 year old girls are soooo sexy. they will invent worlds where women have to be naked for "armor reasons." they will write songs that treat women as objects. people rush to defend them. meanwhile a woman at 35 will be like "heartbreak is hard, actually" or "i feel betrayed by a friend" or "i am struggling with something emotionally." immediately people will say stuff like this woman is 35 by the way. by the way this woman is SO OLD to be experiencing this. BY THE WAY.

im 31, almost 32. the other day a poet was blasted online because at her "big age", she had written a poem about feeling unloved. top comment was "this woman is 29 by the way." this woman is too old to still be useful, by the way. she has to behave better . maybe if she was a good wife and mother she could stop existing loudly, and the story could continue on without her. this woman has served her purpose, by the way. she's so cringe, by the way. at 29 - so old! - she still hasn't figured out that her existence should be one of shame.

scenario in which bill stops torturing him and takes the time to explain what the portal is in terms more detailed than "this will get you the nobel prize for sure" and "im going to destroy your dimension, dipshit"
