where were they going

[goldkirk]

I'm so proud of myself about finances in the past couple months. I still struggle with money but I did enough meditation and journaling and practicing about it to make myself able to actually face my loans and credit cards and savings and bills and start really truly organizing and addressing them for the first time in years instead of just flying by the seat of my pants.

Like. This is a huge deal for me. I've felt like I'm in deadly danger every time I've tried to think about money for years and years. I'm finally able to look it in the face and stare it down and start to organize and plan on purpose instead of just keeping up with the minimum to stay afloat. I'm so proud of myself.

It's still a refrain of "GUILT (funny link)" every time I think about money but I'm able to actually make spreadsheets and face the numbers and monthly tracking again, and even make a new full budget which I haven't been able to do in ages.

still feel guilt, overwhelm, and helplessness, but no longer feel as much deep elemental shame and terror. that's progress baby

I'm going to throw myself off a bridge

Back on my meds, making a damn decent paycheck despite how many days I had to take off this month, my mom’s feeling better now that she’s home and we’ve figured everything out, our neighbor’s gonna build us a wheelchair ramp for cheap, and my dad miiiiiiiiight be buying a new car as we speak 🤞 (my mom just can’t get into the truck anymore, and she hasn’t wanted to drive her two seater for a while now, so we’re trading it for something practical). Things are finally going fairly well, all things considered ❤️

I wanna donate platelets again because I like doing it and I like that I'm genuinely demonstrably helping people AND I want the fun halloween t-shirt but I've tried a few times and they can't take my blood pressure because my arms are too fat :(

[headslikekites]

sometimes I forget I'm a real-ass adult and have been for years because I do not know shit or fuck what I'm doing in any sense whatsoever

[bookshelfdreams]

I do regret making that stupid age poll a little. Could've done without knowing just how many people think "post minor" or "adult?" are accurate descriptions

not to mention the ones who are like "how dare you call me old I'm just a tiny widdle 27 y/o baby!!!"

like. Tell me you have never spoken to someone more than 10 years older than you without telling me etc

"adult" is much more of a legal term than a developmental one. There is no age at which you will have everything figured out, and be done growing and learning. There is no point at which you are "set", as a person. sure, you gain life experience as you age, there will be situations that get easier to deal with, but you will never - never! - stop developing. There will always be new perspectives to consider, new skills to learn, new relationships to form.

You become a legal adult at 18, not because then you're fully developed and will stop growing forever, but because that's the age at which we as a society have decided people can be trusted to make decisions for themselves. That's all it is. At some point, you have to take responsibility for your own life, and all this crap about "the brain not being fully developed until 25", or the 20s being a "second adolescence" is either people trying to argue against trusting young adults with that responsibility (which is bad) OR young people themselves begging to not have to take it (which is worse).

Your life is yours to do with as you please. Y'all have just been helicopter parented to death and now you're terrified of owning yourselves.

I was pretty proud of myself for getting through this day so well (first time one of our cats had to have surgery), BUT it's 4am and it's really hitting me now 🙃

Trying to explain to someone why I, someone with a uterus, deserves basic human rights when all they focus on is pissing on the poor.

Sometimes I still think about how sweet it was when that anon checked on me last year when I was posting overly dark jokes. Thank you whoever you were, that was kind

guess who just found out at 24½ that he’s nearsighted & needs glasses 🖐

I will not be that asshole when I obtain my therapy license. By that I mean not being condescending toward clients and assuming they don't know shit about their physical and mental health. I don't understand how mental health care providers (and medical, let's be real) get so far up their own ass that they forget the crucial bits about their job: LISTENING AND EMPATHY. Even if you know or feel on a gut level that your patient be blowing smoke up your ass, you need to do right by them the best you can. Humans got issues. Even the "good" and "best" ones. You should know that when you sign up with a career that involves interacting with every facet of humanity you can think of. It's some deep dark ice cream with sprinkles and a cherry on top. Sprinkle and cherry people/experiences are rare. Most people are the base. Just the ice cream, and there's nothing wrong with that, but the flavor can get old real fast, and you gotta accept that if you're gonna be a doc or mental health provider. Appreciate the the components, appreciate the damn people who seek YOU for help.
