Life’s Blessing
Sometimes I lie awake at night
Wondering why my chest feels so tight
Why I can't seem to open up to anyone.
Why life just doesn't seem fun
People say that life is a blessing and I know that it is
But wonder why the universe chose me of all
people to live.
It's a one in a million shot that I made it here
today.
So why do I not want to stay?
I want to go to a place far away, where I'm not so awkward. I don't trip on my feet.
Where everything just feels more complete.
And I know a lot of people have it much worse than I
So I don't understand why I want to die.
Except I don't really want to die, I just don't want to live.
But maybe I still have more to give.
Maybe that's why I'm on this earth today.
Maybe I still have something to say.
Things will get better as life moves on.
Maybe there's hope for the future and that hope lies in me.
If I go on to become who God called me to be.

White dungeon meshi fans sound like this to me:
It's extremely fascinating and frightening to me how hateful some of you people are towards shuro, a man who is clearly depicted as japanese, (a man who could look like me or literally any member of my family in real life) for being a normal, complex, and flawed human being.
Why do you single him out for getting frustrated with and mad at laios when chilchuck and marcille do the same literally all the time? What's the difference between them and shuro?
Why do you feel the unnecessary need to protect these white women from a japanese man?
Do you expect that this japanese man is inherently going to have some kind of ugly negative quality that has not been once hinted at canonically? Do you know what that's called? Because i do and it's fucking racism.
You people get scared the moment a character that is a person of color isnt a quiet little model minority or a sweet mammy archetype. You grasp at your pearls the moment they are revealed to have complex personalities and histories; when they feel negative, big emotions that are literally part of the human experience. Or god forbid, when they show romantic interest in a pure, helpless, little white woman.
And when a person of color stops behaving good and docile the way you want, when they decide that theyre not going to put up with a situation that makes them uncomfortable or miserable or RIGHTEOUSLY FURIOUS, they become the bad guy. As seen countless times in the medias demonizing depiction of the Black Lives Matter protests and even of black people who get punished for just living their lives. It happens so often i shouldnt have to reiterate it to you but it somehow keeps flying over your head.
And when that dirty, conniving, perverted, slant eyed, buck toothed, stumpy little japanese man understandably snaps at the white person you guys are projecting onto and all you see is this:
So dont be surprised when i say that id rather kill myself than entrust the safety of my oldest aunts and uncles or my youngest cousins with any of you who act like this. Im terrified of what could have happened if people like you worked at the facility that my great grandmother lived out her final years in. Would you have seen her as a wild animal that needed to be subdued too when she had one of her many dementia-induced violent episode?
I will not apologize for saying that i find it deeply disconcerting to see so many of you happily posting hateful vitriol or even about committing acts of violence against a man that looks like me, solely because he was experiencing his humanity
#like especially after all the shit east asians but especially chinese people had to put up with after covid started#anyway listen to poc voices to stop being so fucking annoying#GO AHEAD LOOK AT MY YELLOW JAP FACE AND GIVE YOUR MADE UP JUSTIFICATIONS ILL EAT YOUR FUCKING EYEBALLS#ALSO WHITE FARCILLE WARRIORS: HE IS NOT GETTING IN THE WAY OF YOUR YURI SHIP#YOU BITCHES SOUND LIKE 2010s FUJOSHI HATING ON FEMALE CHARACTERS FOR GETTING IN THE WAY OF YOUR YAOI#BUT WITH MISOGYNY REPLACED WITH XENOPHOBIA AND RACISM#this is absolutely about how some of u fuckers treat kabru too btw#here i come bitches its the one thing that scares you more than a jap#ITS A JAP WHOS FUCKING MEAN#initially when i saw shuro i was like ooooh cutie! but then when i found out how tone deaf and racist some of you people are???#he immediately became my favorite character#like how asian diaspora kids at school form friend groups even when we dont share an ethnic identity#bc we understand each others experience better than any white friend we make will#shuro dungeon meshi#laios touden#falin touden#toshiro nakamoto#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon

i don't think I've ever enjoyed a birthday party with friends as much as today i am genuinely getting a bit teary eyed
#initially i wasn't planning to do anything but then i thought what the hell what if we go out to drink something#except it was all very up in the air so a good deal of folks couldn't come (which is fine that one's on me)#but the two who COULD make it are genuinely some of the funniest motherfuckers I've ever met and one of them brought his gf along#and we hit it off IMMEDIATELY and THEN we ran into another pal I hadn't seen in a while and hadn't had the chance to invite in person#who also joined in after he finished hanging out with other people and they got me a present????? 😭#i haven't had a birthday with friends in fucking . 3 years between covid and everyone i knew moving away#I'm so happy i think my heart is going to explode#which ik. hey isn't that a very boring and simple hangout YES but also not to me baby i have been in a depression isolation all my teens#i started to genuinely enjoy my day to day life like. 4 months ago ever since starting uni#it feels like turning a new leaf yknow? like. i made it. i made it out. god i could cry#sorry I'm a little drunk

moodboard for this past week ❤️
#they should invent a grad school thats not fucking insane#i'm hanging in there but im the most unwell i've been in AWhile#this week was just horrible#there was already the freezer food incident but it also started off with a very severe pain episode thats putting me in constant woe#even mundane motion has been agonizing which is McAwesome bc we had a lab inspection which involved moving hundreds of pounds of equipment#during which we found a blackwidow and rats which we had to deal with and was a whole thing psychologically on top of the physical toll#the new class fiasco is still popping off and i had to respond to at this point over 400 emails in the fleeting moments outside of lab#AND A STUDENT TRIED TO FINANCIALLY BRIBE THEIR WAY INTO THE CLASS ? ?? ?? ?????#then the instructor wanted to use me as a guinea pig and i had to test new circuit boards but I wasnt given any time to do so properly#i had to test them plus get them operational and deal with my incoming students all in a frantic 10 minute window#im in charge of running our meetings too but the instructor was interrupting and having side conversations that made it really hard-#to train the other people on the new equipment in a smooth manner#which meant that a bunch of people had to keep me after to ask questions which made me late for my drs appointment#where i found out i cant get the new covid vaccine bc my heart and blood levels arnt stable enough#and joanns lost an expensive+critical fabric order of mine+i had to give a big presentation this week on my research that was stressful#and my inbox is still blowing up from being needed all over the place between teaching lab and classes and yall i am. so so tired.#im in so much pain and so stressed out#debating the ethics of turning into a pile of lint to escape my responsibilities and mortal frame

just a few little bits from the past few days
#both the word count screenshots are from the same day - just different sections of the text. so that was like 4000 words in#one DAY.. huzzah!! (< making up for the fact that I did 0 words the 3 days before that lol.. so its not actually an accomplishment ghjjh)#In renpy I think you can have multiple separate texty cody whatever documents and still jump between them so long as they;re#labeled properly. Rather than like... having one extremely long 60.000 line file where in some places youre in a menu within a menu#within a menu within a menu within a menu within a menu within a menu jhbhj#But that was the way I started doing it lke 5 years ago when I actually made the base of everything so I feel like it'd be too much#work to change it all that dramatically now. But that means I cant just get the word count for the whole document I just have#to jump around to the few sections I worked on and highlight them to get the word count for only that portion#.. the one tiny fraction of the whole monster text wall. Though it is of course spaced out and organized into#clearly labeled sections within that because otherwise I have trouble discerning text on a screen. still.#Resuming a project that's been basically abandoned for 4-5 ish years is just always finding weird stuff like.. why did I do this that way..#why did I write that... why did I organize that in this manner... what the hell am I referencing in this note... etc. lol#Anyway... also......................cat with plum on his head.#everyone point and laugh at mr. plum head boy..!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:3c#I've been obsessed with Calico Critters' social media presence from afar (like how I mentioned one of my possible dream jobs would#be to be the person that sets the scenes and arranges all the toy animals at a tiny little table and etc. to take the type of pictures they#post on their facebook page and stuff) and I see all their photos of them posing the rabbits as if they're in a swimming pool#or on a nature hike or etc. etc. BUT I have never really seen them in person. Recently I was at a store (in a KN95 mask and not staying#very long still of course. wastewater covid levels are still high where I live (and most of the US truly)) and it just crossed my mind#to actually go to the toy section and see if I could find any....wow.... Its like meeting a celebrity.. the Latte Cats....#Of course I didnt buy them because they're like... very expensive?? like $25 - $40 just for one little pack of a few critters like#what is shown. but.... I still got to see them................ my beloved.. I want their outfits... T o T#Oh and then lastly just a pot of purple clover looking things. I just think theyre neat lol#photo diary

ok this isnt meant to be a dig or anything but it's always really funny to me when people like just cracking 30 are like "omg you're in your early twenties, you're a babyyyyyy"
babe you're like barely 30, you're a baby too. You're a blink and a half older than me. I spend too much time around people over 50, the difference between 23 and 33 is a few years at a job and a little more distance from living in your parents' house but it's like, nothing. the gap closes every time you breathe and every time i move. the difference between you and me is like one-fifteenth the difference between you and my dad's friend Joe or whatever. don't worry you'll get to live more life too, but don't kid yourself.
and this is doubled when it's coming from a 25-year-old currently experiencing a crisis of age because they're soooo old, they're 25, the horror! You are twenty-five. We have an age difference of three years. Your concern over this is embarrassing for you and highly entertaining for me. But like don't kid yourself here. You are 25. You are a like a fucking baby to me.
#red rambles#when i was 18 all my friends were grad students#i think my youngest close "peer'' friend was 27#when i was 19 it was covid and almost all my friends were distant people i knew online and then the age gap between me and my oldest friend#got even wider!#when i was 20 i stayed with my grandma for several months and i'm still friends with a bunch of her friends! i got a standing invitation to#a neighbor's house to shoot the shit with her and she's like 55 and she's the youngest of the people in my grandma's social circle i'm all#buddy-buddy with!#i was learning new knitting tecniques from someone in her late 80s!#You are like a little baby to me watch this [hits on a man around three times my age] [hits on a woman almost three times my age] i'd say#im hitting on enbies 3x my age here but i actually haven't met any out enbies that old yet. i think the youngest nonbinary person i know is#their forties and that's just 2x#wait no. i do know someone. but i haven't hit on them. not gonna steal valor LOL#if ur a cool recently-retired californian i cannot recommend coming to [city removed] to come get hit on by a 23 year old nonbinary tboy#but i wouldn't say it's off the table LOLLL#anyway.#point made i believe.#i'm sure i'll hit the Age Crisis one of these days and start being like omg... you're so *young* because you are so Small Number...#but the one i run into is just Omg... You are so Fucking Immature why do you think this problem Matters... and that one i get from everyone#ill be sitting there chatting with like 70yo retired married couples and be stricken with waves of utter disgust bc they're too concerned#with their neighbors' opinions and think it constitutes a legitimate issue if someone does things too differently when there are like.#real problems in this world LOL

I really like Yusaku Fujiki
#that's it#staring at all the art that's made of him#and commissions and gift art haha#i remember seeing him in 2018 and drew him without knowing vrains at all bc i liked his design#pre covid back at my IT class they were talking about data storms and im like WAIT THATS THE THING IN VRAINS#then i started watching vrains and its now my personality

Bruh, this is the third time i've been sick in the last 2 months. Viruses have to actually be targeting me at this point, cause this is just ridiculous (⊙_◎)
Like yeah I have a weaker immune system, but I'm literally not even going anywhere! I guess whatever traces my sister brings home from school (she's in HS) is enough. To make matters worse, my toddler brother is about to start pre-school. I sense so many more illnesses in my future O| ̄|_
#i'm really excited he's starting school though#he's practically my kid so that adds to it#i guess this is kind of a vent? rant? idk#i'm just really irritated#especially since everyone else is usually fine#or if they do get sick they are better within a day or two#and i'm out for like a week#and also to find out that i can't even take dayquil/nyquil anymore without severe pain (i have been taking it my whole life)#yeah this is a rant#feel free to ignore#i just need to complain a bit😅#i'm also gonna take a covid test cause this sore throat is worse than normal#i've only had 4 things that made it this bad and covid is one of them#cheese says stuff#rant

You don't know how happy I was to see them and how happy they were to see me.
#I've been holed up in my apartment for 2 weeks cause of covid haven't had the strength to go outside#and i hadn't seen my flock in a long while cause hunters have been shooting up the woods#i assumed the worst tbh for these guys#i went out back to get some air and i saw one in the distance#she made this curious click click soune and i did it back#then suddenly here comes the calvary#and they start making these rapid fire pewpew sounds but with an extra squeak#i think that noise is code for “this person is safe” or “safe human”#cause they ran right up to me and were checking me out as if they had been worried#I'm not trying to anthropomorphize them just explaining turkeys are very social creatures#and if you pay attention to their tics and the way they communicate things each flock has its own system#these guys are way different than the tribe at my grams place#and they have their own unique little clicks and sounds that signal different things#if you're friendly to them give them space and entice them with some bird seed every once in a while they enjoy seeing you#that big one with the bread in his beak took a slice from a neighbor and was showing it off#like “lookie lookie i stole this!”#lmao

love that little period where artists/bands/groups become more aware that they're gonna be performing these songs in front of an audience so their songs start to incorporate more lyrics and beats to get the audience engaged
#listening to random exo songs rn and the second 'drop that' started i was like Bingo... it's fun but im too familiar w classic rock to like#it as a stand alone song#skz have this#god i cant remember what song i had a reaction like this to but i think it was case 143#because i had seen them live and at this point this was the first time they were able to hold concerts since covid#and so just based off the energy i felt from them in person - i think i heard either case 143 or time out or smth and#immediately recognized it as a song that was made with the intention of performing#it in front of an audience#but my chem have this. queen is famous for this. etc etc

one thing about me is i have no idea what i know because i have no idea what is like a normal amount of knowledge about anything
#its literally not even that im insecure. i just dont know what people are as a general rule going to know#and specifically its always that i think i dont know something and it turns out i have a significantly larger amount of knowledge about it#ari opinion hour#literally one time my friend asked me abt community bands / how to find one to play with and i no joke genuinely started off my answer like#So disclaimer i dont actually know that much about community ensembles or have really much experience with them at all#and then proceeded to go on a nice long tangent complete with how to find them‚ types of ensembles to look for‚ what organizations might#run community ensembles or keep lists of them‚ and then provided this friend with at least TWO DIFFERENT LISTS where they could#find ensembles to check out#and then i stopped and realized id written a Whole Thing which in turn made me realize#that‚ Actually‚ I Have Like EIGHT YEARS Of Experience Playing In Community Ensembles. So What The Fuck Was I Talking About#particularly because i first started doing that in 5th grade meaning i have literally been playing in community ensembles for one (1) fewer#year than i have been playing my instrument. because the 8 years was counting by semester and doesnt include covid years#(at this point its 18 semesters / 11 years)

got some third hand gossip about one of my exes who after we broke up spent considerable amount of time and energy lying about me to anyone who would listen with the goal to alienate me and my then-new partner from our social group and yes they were very much successful in that effort. and now the hot goss is they have basically continued to alienate everyone else from that friend group for the past five years is like. man i can't even feel any kind of schadenfreude or anything its just kind of sad.
#all of this is feels so deep in the past and so irrelevant after covid. after the start of the war#queer communities drama is eternal and also kind of highly irrelevant in the right perspective#and honestly? i ve made my peace with all of this but the thing i really resent them for#is never once reaching out after the full scale war began#like. regardless of how badly any of my relationships or friendships ended there is not one single person i would not reach out to#if i knew their family are under threat of being bombed every day
