The New Fun: Staying In vs. Going Out at 50
Remember when going out used to be fun? Yeah, me too... but that was 20 years ago. Now, between the loud music, the hangovers that last for days, and the effort it takes to get dressed, I’d rather be home in my sweats by 9 p.m. 😴
Remember when going out was the highlight of the week? You’d get ready like you were preparing for a magazine cover shoot, stay out until dawn, and somehow, miraculously, roll into work the next day with a cup of coffee and a smile. Those were the days, weren’t they? But now, as a woman in my 50s, going out just isn’t what it used to be, and I’ve been trying to figure out why. Spoiler alert: it’s…

a book with geralt 😃
a book with geralt without ciri 😐
a book with geralt without yennefer 😔
a book with geralt without dandelion 💀
#he is going to be going THROUGH IT#he is going to get up to some absolutely poetless behavior#and by that i’m expecting at least one suicide attempt from him#maybe it’s just me and my ‘suffered socially in middle school’ type of memories#but being alone is so soooo painful and going back to that geralt before his best friend and his wife and his child is going to be like#remember when geralt didn’t have much reason to live remember that time in his life#geralt as a near-middle age adult: oh my god this guy is so sad#geralt as a young adult: 😶💀 [speechless at the suffering]#unless dandelion does show up in this somehow but that would pose more logistical questions#imagine we see posada and they meet then and it’s revealed that edge of the world actually takes place with them like 19 and 26 or some#unexpected consideration like… reading eotw back i’m going to be like wait… how old WERE you two here how long ago WAS this#because characters unlike people are immortal because they are ideas#so when you imagine geralt and dandelion even ‘a long time ago’ i just imagine them slightly younger#whatever is done dandelion’s age will never make sense because count 38 and subtract 15. this is his age when ciri was born.#and yet he is hanging out with geralt here in his 30s because friendship is so eternal it slipped the author’s mind to change them#unlike in-universe netwitcher headcanons about jaskier being immortal i believe dandelion is immortal in a meta sense of his presence is so#necessary for geralt’s character that despite logic he must be there for him in the same form no matter the circumstances#geralt and dandelion meeting as young men: [each thinking to himself] ‘huh this guy is stupid and looks gay’#and then an epic best friendship was formed forever. i love you ❤️#the elbow-high diaries

it’s hilarious to me that fushiguro went back to his old middle school and everyone talked about how his sister, who went to middle school with him, was the one taking care of him because I’m convinced that seventeen year old gojo had his ass in a chair every pta meeting starting shit with the other moms and the entire administration collectively said “that man cannot even take care of himself” and decided twelve year old tsumiki was the only possible caretaker
#jjk#jujutsu kiasen#fushiguro megumi#gojo satoru#jjk spoilers#fushiguro tsumiki#fushiguro terrorized his middle school so thoroughly that he left and came back a year later and people almost pissed themselves#and gojo is 1200% that parent who finds out their kid got in a fight and sprints into the office to find out if they won#teacher: I’m very concerned about fushiguro. he gets into multiple fights every single day#principal: we have to take into consideration his home life. he’s being raised by someone who’s a child themself#teacher: do you mean gojo#principal: tsumiki#look gojo was seventeen and completely insane and his boyfriend just broke up with him so he could start a cult#Shoko was basically a child of divorce#his ENTIRE social circle was Megumi and tsumiki#overinvolved middle aged mother of four: I’m very concerned about the math curriculum#gojo age 17 decided teenage fatherhood could fix him: the math curriculum is a FUCKING DISGRACE#fushiguro was an eleven year old delinquent in such eternal discomfort that he was on the verge of ending it all if anyone looked at him#and there was gojo. the embarrassment.#pov youre just trying to run a school but a 17 year old magician with a terrible personality broke up with his equally atrocious boyfriend#now he keeps showing up pta meetings and trying to fight the other moms in the parking lot

[chanting doggedly into my bathroom mirror while white-knuckling the sink] i will not envy those who have things i do not want i will not envy those who have things i do not want i will not envy those who have things i do not want
#sometimes i see people posting instagram pics with their childhood and college friends and i'm a little jealous#then i remember that there are like. reasons i'm not in touch with some of my former childhood and college friends#and i still have my best friend from college and many wonderful people in my life#i just briefly got caught up the fantasy where that part of my life was entirely different than it is#honestly justice for those of us who didn't have that good of a time in school socially speaking#i think i thought in college i would end my streak of being a kid who was better at talking to adults than my peers#but i just went to college and was like damn why do i get along so well with my middle-aged professors#like i have great mentors and i'm very grateful for them and for the friends i have#i just sometimes wish i'd gone somewhere with fewer proto-finance bros#personal nonsense

Sorry, but Phineas and Ferb going to college as adults is soooo fake. 1) What the fuck is college gonna teach them? 2) They're both WAY too restless to study for four years or more for ONE degree. They spent a single afternoon building to the MOON. FOUR YEARS might as well be an ETERNITY. Spending that in SCHOOL?? WASTE OF TIME.
#phineas and ferb#p&f fandom pls stop doing this in fanfics it's so untrue#they both clearly dropped out of high school and immediately got their GEDs anyway#not as impressive as baljeet who got his first degree in middle school—#but y'know phineas and ferb waited until freshman year because of the social opportunities#then they spend their twenties solving world hunger and ending war everywhere and not only saving endangered species but bringing a few BACK#phineas uses a teleporter to visit isabella at her college whenever he wants#and he and ferb have a multi-terrain mobile home they share that has twenty stories and two pools on the inside#I've read so many fics that go the same route 'Act Your Age' went#where real life + adulthood bog down on the boys#and that SUCKS#it's realistic sure. life gets harder when you grow up. but so what??#this show has ALWAYS been about taking the universe in your hands and moulding it to whatever you want#no the boys won't go to college they won't separate or give up on their big ideas or pay taxes#it's THEIR world and everyone is better for having lived in it

tennis is a really fun sport and all the players are freaks which is enjoyable i suppose but then seeing ppl in other sports having a good time its like. oh my god none of these people are any fun!!! why is everyone weird and sad always!! i was thinking about the differences in socmed from hockey and tennis at work today like tennis players typically only post match results but hockey players often post them goofing around. and now these olympics all these athletes are constantly showing off fun little moments of the village and interacting with other countries and sports and all that. idk why are we kind of lame….
#the only people who i could count on to make at least a fun little video about it is aryna and dasha and neither of them are thereeeee#oh actually no naomi is doing it at least#not that i want everyone to have a social media presence like idc i wanna be offline too#but like. isnt it kind of weird how kind of un fun everyone is 😭#its not an issue with the players its just. the culture in this sport and the way it is structured#the media and fans are so brutal whenever anyone tries to have fun idk#kind of the worlds most depressing sport to play professionally lowkey#agh never do an individual sport. u will get ISOLATED and also ppl will have to cling to individuals over teams#not that they dont also single out individual players in team sports but at least the pressure is lessened#tennis#sportsball#re socmed. if u scrolled willy nylanders instagram u would have no clue hes a professional hockey player#which slay. work life balance#not that u cant post about ur job but idkkkk like. jannik? ass social media presence#depends on the player of course. idk where im going with this. i want people to be happy and have fun#and im never so sure that they are#social media does not actually factor into this but i still think this sport#is lacking in that regard in comparison to others; because the target demographic is fucking middle aged white people#idk. anyways. going to bed

My five happy things for the day
• paper that has a good feeling texture
• things not feeling like an emergency EVERY second of the day, only part of the time
• the fact that these cheapo stamp ink pads from Walmart a few years ago somehow still have a bit of functioning ink not dried out?
• I’m able to track and retain conversations for longer periods of time again, I’m finally finally finally feeling some progress
• putting on a warm hoodie or coat when feeling chilled
#fivethingsaday#I still can’t believe people LIKE me!! ?! ?! ?! ?!#I’ve accidentally wound up dumbfounded with a delightful number of friends#like. wait. I thought you guys were playing a very long trap or were only liking me because of obligation or worth vs hassle ratio.#I thought I was just enjoying it before it vanished! but yowza!!!#apparently I DID get the chance for it to be real#and I am in the middle of living an adult life I didn’t think I’d see!!!#so anyway holy shit I apparently am not secretly a poison to people#these cool people I’ve been so admiring of and wished I could really have a life with someone like them as a friend#BITCH I DO IT IS ME#what the FUCK.#anyway I’ve got to go keep trying to wrangle my very uncooperative knee#and marvel at the slowly-dawning reality of being liked actually not just kept around#god grade school age social hierarchy lessons sure get roots down in deep#I’m so pleased as punch and totally in skeptical disbelief. I’m also delighted and horrifically embarrassed and feeling stupid and feeling#unbearably grateful and feeling quite particularly like I’m in the Truman show and also won the lottery#I’m going to do a lot of STICKING WITH IMPORTANT ROUTINES FOR MY WELL-BEING about it#add to journal

man .
#i gotta put this somewhere. i'm complaining about the guys and expressing my disappointment in the tags#this is just my own feelings and discomfort don't have to agree or comment on anything. anyone can have their own thoughts#i should stop looking them up or even bother checking their socials and what they're up to#if not i'd just be rolling my eyes and making myself more annoyed at them lol#i don't feel as bad for not caring since it's probably too much to expect that#white patriotic american middle aged men to not support their hell of a cuntry aka that violent imperial core nightmare#i was kinda fond of them at first but now it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth that i rather just avoid because#bringing this up has no benefit anyway. anything said more will just be regarded as a 'cancel culture' attempt but#they're not bad people. they are good people and that's entirely the point#it's not a unique problem and for as long as that imperial nightmare stays in power anyone who willingly supports it and its actions#show that some lives are worth more than other lives all so that western society will always have more power#and is not something worth worrying about. they're just strangers to me anyway. i don't care about them i don't want to care about them#again this is not me saying they're bad or 'problematic' people. they are good people and that's why it disappoints me#but like i said it's not worth worrying about since they are just an example rather than the core issue#i just wanted to write this down because the bitterness is just there now lol#i've been able to separate the real people/actors and the characters they play so it doesn't affect my enjoyment as much anymore#i'm just. sorry for talking negatively lol i know people use their interests as an escape like i know. i use this show as my escape too#but some things are just hard to ignore when they affect real life so.. eh .#i still like the show and the characters haha i'm just fighting with myself internally i guess idk#like it doesn't really hurt to enjoy them. it's not bad. i'm allowed to disagree with the creators of something i like#my ramblings

Something in the back of my mind has been bothering me for a long while, and I figured out what it was. I have this tendency of censoring myself when I speak? I dance around a subject, which I keep hinting at, but never explicitly say what I want to say, and when someone doesn’t pick up on that, I get disappointed when they don’t help me open up to the topic.
#the disappointment deepens and I guess the fear of truly opening up of showing my self flaws and all is scary#in short I’m scared to have an opinion!!!#also when people ask me what I’m into reading to watching oh man I feel the pressure to pitch it and possibly defend it#and instead I just vaguely share what it’s about for the sake of not spoiling the experience#then the envy I feel when other ppl share wholeheartedly what they love and take their time with it explaining#and they explain it so clearly and I wish I could do that#click clack#the problem was so vague it’s taken me awhile to discern#I’m guessing this all stems from being made fun of or dismissed for my interests 😔#a long time ago but the effects still linger#the fear of being perceived is all wrapped in me#I do the same thing here. it bleeds to all the ways of socializing this day and age#I wish I were one of those ppl who have a more lively social life online and talking to ppl regularly#but my first instinct to a message is to close the notification and leave it for later because it’s so intimidating!!!#it feels like I have to perform an image that’s guaranteed to be liked rather than just be me authentically#ok I got to the crux phewwww uhhh lol got all my vulnerabilities out in the middle of the night

Being a middle regressor is so weird. Like? Age 11-15 is a weird era in and of itself because you still play pretend with friends, but you can't take theme parks and mascots seriously anymore. You're still into some "kid stuff" (dress up games and Disney movies), but you're actively repulsed by anything babyish or baby-related (making the majority of the agere tag very much Not The Vibe). You're allowed to watch a rated R movie with parent's approval and play *some* violent videogames, but you're still not allowed to read every Shakespeare play because some of them have "mature themes." You don't really NEED a caretaker to do things for you as much as you need someone to listen to you talk about roblox and supervise you *just in case* you set something on fire.
It took forever for me to even realize I WAS regressing. Like, I knew I was regressing, but I just wasn't "baby" enough, so it didn't make sense. How could I feel both like a child but have an active interest in not-exactly-kid-friendly things like Skyrim and anime?
The answer is I was in teen/preteen mode.
It's not that age 11 is the death of all things immature; once you get to be an adult, you can more confidently navigate themed roleplay experiences "in character," and your repulsion for baby-related stuff kinda falls away too. It's just that when you're 14, you don't know how to be both Mature and Not Embarrassing, so you kind of give up on a lot of things.
#sfw agere#sfw middle regression#sfw age dreamer#idk just my 2 cents on the matter rn#and i know 11-15 is a very broad range! but also when you have autism (the developmental disorder)#'maturity' developments like outgrowing cartoons/rejecting parental care/gaining interest in makeup and social media can be kinda delayed#i didn't know how to dress myself 'fashionably' until i was in college. i never tried makeup before then either#so it makes sense 15 year old me was still playing wolves. yknow?#additionally all these elements are probably why that era can be stressful or traumatizing as a life change#which i probably why i regress to that age now#my brain's like 'eh i got through it. lets do it again with less anxiety this time.'

I owe freaking everything to middle aged women looking out for me. And I mean everything
#pillars of our society. who makes sure I'm eating. who makes sure I'm not taking on too much. who writes references.#who tries to make sure i have friends and a social life. who makes sure i get home safe. who offers friendship and knowledge.#and jobs#i totally understand why but it's not other twentysomethings#middle aged and older ladies#God if I have one prayer let me be that person. the one who makes sure no one is alone. quiet and never invasive but always There#let me someday have mental and financial resources and let me use them to boost those who don't#pickle pontificates
