Friend issues are real

 

So… I woke up yesterday morning with an intense abdominal pain, and it turns out I had appendicitis! Yay! /s

So yeah, yesterday was kinda crazy for me, but now the surgery is over and I’m just resting in the hospital. I should be able to go home this afternoon. I can’t go to school for a week, which is kinda good and bad at the same time cause I don’t enjoy it but I’ve also already missed like a week and a half and will need to make up even more work. So yeah. That’s my life right now, I guess 

Hot dang! Glad you're okay . . .

Here's a bad-thing, good-thing, bad-thing sandwich:

I'm already depressed enough about how awful the school system and society in general is, I really don't need the entire next unit of my eng 1010 class to be about it 

On a lighter note I finally got back to working on my creative writing projects after literal weeks of feeling blocked on it, so that's good.

Yesterday I went book thrifting and found some really good stuff (I still happy about it in general), but today I was looking up one of the books I got and found out that the author is kind of a not great person . . . and now I'm wondering if I should add it to my TBR at all . . .

…

That’s a little extreme, don’t you think?

Yes! Precisely!

Pie is safe to be extreme about, because pie doesn't actually matter. I tend to have big emotions and want to throw my whole self headfirst into things. That can result in me bulldozing through sensitive issues or accidentally silencing someone on something that matters. So I'm careful to look for places that I can let out that "EVERYTHING OR NOTHING" energy that are safe for it; places/subjects where no one will get hurt. If I'm away over the top extreme about pie, the worst that happens is people think I'm weird. That's fine lol. They're gonna think that anyway. 

Therefore, PIEEEE!

Cramming school so I can have Thursday-the weekend free ‘cause I got masters coming in to look over all the stuff for my black belt test and I’m *so stressed*

Oh nice! You've got this. They're offering the test because they think you're ready. And they're preparing you beforehand. You'll do great.

*sigh* Ok half brain barf half rant. Ima try to organize it but that's gonna fail.

Art issues.

  Reveal hidden contents

Ok. As yalls know I'm an artist. One issue i have is my friend of whom I almost idolize, don't judge they were the first person to talk to me, and they are a GOD at art. For name sake ima call bro sprout. Ok so whenever I show sprout my art he says it's traced! No wonder I have imposter syndrome. Because I'm told I'm fake by the person I look up to. GGGRRRR, I'm trying to understand tho that sprout is going through alot, his mom has breast cancer. So.....

This is what they most recent "traced" picture is

Uhhhh friend issues

  Reveal hidden contents

ALEIGHT this one is just a rant. Context- sprout and friend 2, glisten, were besties then they stopped talking and their back together. I'm happy. But I feel like im getting pushed out cause they are WAY closer. Stormign attachment issues. But neither one of them realize that their doing that and I suck at talking to people. 

Uggghhhhhhh

And I feel like half my friends more then just those to are distancing themselves. I dunno tho maybe I'm just paranoid. 

And in English class there are these girls that sit behind me and sprout and talk about us and laugh at us.Ufggggghehkelekrnt

School issues 

  Reveal hidden contents

Ok this is abour school. Its... going. Mostly well, I'm cooking in Spanish and computer art. But I'm kinda lost I'm math.... and sorta lost in science. I'm chilling in everything else tho. English is kinda blegh but. 

If you can do math good, have discord, and patience then could you help me... tomorrow, after I get my math packet and bring it home...... please?

Family stuff. 

  Reveal hidden contents

This wait for a move is painful. PAINFUL, knowing I'm gonna move but not knowing when. And my mom keeps asking if she could convince me to stay with her. IM GONNA SEE HER EVERY OTHER DAY WHEN MY DAD IS AT WORK AT NIGHTTIME!!!!!!

On good news my brother is getting really good progress in getting a neuroscience degree. He's working on getting into a college. Which is hard cause he's got ISSUES. And was told if this place did a study on how to heal tbi then he's gonna get some credit cause he gave them alot of ideas.

Back to the rants. The more we mention moving the more judjing my mom gets, about multiple things. 

That's causing less sleep which equals harder in school. BRUH 

If you have advice that twould be useful

I dunno if I have any good advice, other than with friend issues - just a reminder that rejection sensitive dysphoria is a thing that neurospicy peeps are prone to. Your brain is probably attempting to give you the worst possible interpretations. Also, it's ok to bring up to your friends that you feel left out. Or, if that's too nerve-wracking, schedule some time with all three of you deliberately, so you get more hang out time.

Authors can be not great sometimes. Don’t discount a book though, just ‘cause the author is bad, especially since you already got the book

Ok so. I went to the dentist and I'm dying. They did the bottom side so now i sound like before I got me 5 speech impediments fixed. 

Good news tho is I got another nurse who isn't the one who doesn't understand sensory issues and it was alot better. 

Now I'm getting food then we are heading to the chiropractor to get a physical.

Hmmmmm I don't know . . . I think reading it would feel kind of icky. I thrifted it, so it wasn't very expensive. At the moment it's sitting in the small pile of books I've been meaning to donate. I might look into it a bit more, but I guess I just have lots of other things I'd rather spend my time on.
