[omorialone]

Nothing will ever be truly okay

Work goals for today (that I accomplished):

Job 1: successful articulation of my thoughts into some deliverables; great meeting

Job 1: have a structure for two of my other projects (need to deliver those when I can, maybe by Monday)

Job 2: really need to send over timesheets and I think what's delaying me is because I want to ALSO send over my final document of all the things I've done so far, because my... bill is high. And I know I shouldn't feel any guilt or shame for it - my work is valuable. The money will literally help me keep going towards my goals.

Job 3: The job is done because it was a summer job, but I need to submit my final reports on the students I mentored.

Felt good about... actually feeling like I have a great brain who has trained to do all this stuff - I am more on top of my "game" in terms of my career.

Personal goals for today (that I accomplished):

I took my meds and rested. I rested as much as possible and tried not to feel guilty. I have a terrible infection after all.

I made a plan to get my T TODAY RIGHT NOW before meeting my friend (masked) at 6pm. I have about 45 min to get my meds and go to her.

I ate some food. Even though I didn't finish a meal, I tried to eat solid food.

I put some clean towels away. I have clean clothes! I just need to put it all away at some point.

I ignored my desire to drop everything and clean (which sometimes works, or it ends up with me not doing anything in a panic). I am doing stuff incrementally.

I have a loan approval appointment set up for next week.

I tried not to feel bad about money. I may barely make my car loan payment this month if I am not paid by Job 2 AND/OR if I am not approved by the loan committee.

Personal work goals:

nothing. However, I have several ideas about putting more of my poetry up on Insta and Substack. I have several I have written but just need to edit (always editing) and put up.

desire to work on my passion projects - and felt good about that desire

I need a higher-paying job.

A snakes comfort

It was a quiet moment, a time of closeness but not quite peace. Rosey was happily against Tero's side, in his coils as they were both lounging on a large stuffed chair. Teros tail would not stop shifting and twitching, showing that they were nervous about something, and Rosey wanted to help him.

So she gently wiggled out of his coils, his tail immediately releasing her and he looked at her. "I know it's all so new, and it can be so scary, but it's ok, Tero." she walked up his reclined body and sat on his collar, eyes locked onto her face. "You don't have to push yourself or change or anything. It's a learning experience and It can be scary but remember Adam and I are here for you." She cupped her small hand against the naga's cheek, his lips quivering with emotion and eyes becoming misty.

"but what if I hurt you?" he whispered since she was so close.

"you won't." She affirmed

"but how do you know that? I-I'm just so scared of hurting other people," he whined eyes watering more.

"I know that because you haven't yet and because that's not who you are." She wiped away a tear as it started to slide down his face. "I know this because you're scared of it Tero, meaning that you will do anything in your power to make sure it never happens." A small gasp and a choked back sound escaped Teros throat.

He curled around her hands shakily hovering behind her. She nodded and he quickly swept her up curling around her and letting out a quiet sob. She shushed him humming a song that she made up, the melody calming and full of love. then she started to sing.

the world is scary and we know that true but listen to me and listen to you despite our pasts and trials we are here there's no denial you are loved and seen and strong and kind and everything nice in between so ease your mind and know: it's going to be ok

Teros breathing started to calm and rosey made sure to kiss away every tear that was shed. Letting Tero know that she loved him, that she was here for them through hard times and good times.

Everything's going to be ok, even if we are unsure of what is to come, hold those you love close and they will hold you closer.

got a job cleaning up apartments after construction workers and i thought it would be hard work and it kinda is bc my standard for cleaning other people's spaces is too high probably but on the brightside it's not customer service and i can listen to my own music and sing about every other phrase depending on how hard im working (you still need air to sing) and idk. they don't care abt ny piercings. i could probably dye my hair purple. livin the dream!

today was an emotional rollercoaster in the latter half, but each part ended in just so much love. i feel so cared for by everyone around me, i feel safe. lena told me how much i mean to her, and everyone on the team, and that im the most genuine person she has ever met, and that i was the first person to really make her feel comfortable and supported, and that ive done so much for everyone on the team and they could never stay so strong without me there. she told me that she sincerely knows that i could be the greatest of all time, and that i already am in so many way. and shes like... one of the strongest and most hardworking people ive ever met. and she sat besides me today and heard my mother purposefully upset me on the phone and helped me hang up and told me no one should ever talk to me that way. and immediately started looking for options for me to solve the problem.

im surrounded by so much love and support and care and respect and my heart is so full from it all.

hey! there's zero esims left for the connecting gaza campaign as of today. i remember you promoting them earlier. could you give them a much needed boost?

oh dang! unfamiliar with that particular campaign, as I always donate via crips for e-sims because it's super easy to do, but regardless let's go people!

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

[blueskittlesart]

read that post blacked out and woke up with this on my computer. crazy. stay safe out there everyone

[goldensunset]

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love
