Hard to believe it’s been three years of existing here, and two years of being active. (Hard to believe the amount of posts I’ve made in that time, but, well, sometimes school is boring. Also do as I say and not as I do and pay attention in class. I need to get better at that myself lol) Guys, it’s been a blast. I have absolutely loved having the opportunity and the blessing to interact with all of you. Thank you all for the fun you have provided me (and for indulging my craziness, especially those of you who I spam with reels on Instagram. Sorry for the amount of reels, but not for the joy). (Personalized messages will be in the spoiler box below)

IVE DONE IT 7000 posts in a little over a year wow it’s crazy. Just yesterday i was at 5000. this whole journey has kept me alive, through the role plays, the community, I couldn’t do it without you all. Looking around at everyone i know… yall have changed my life. Inspired me to write, to get out of a shell i hid in. And helped me through my darkest moments. I wanna give everyone a hug and say how awesome yall are for letting me into this place. Thanks, @Through The Living Glass @Bird Furious and @OOKLA_the LIV for being the first ones to talk to me, showing me the ropes and introducing me to everyone. @DragonHeir @TwinStorm @SpiritOfWrath @Kansas Stormcursed @NameIess and @xinoehp512 for everything in tlt.its Cheesy but that Roleplay shaped my life, and helped me learn about myself. @MirkerLurker @KnightSkye Reforged @#1 Taln Fan @Spark of Hope @A Silvereye in Silverlight . @Shatter Thank you all for the advice the hugs and supporting me whenever i came to you broken @CoderDrag0n8 @The Great Wyver @SpartanBrigade @mippo @Rynturning_Light @VieB13 @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren @ChipsAHoid @Cookie Sprenthanks for bringing joy to my day with your jokes and energy @Honors Ghost @Hmmm lies @Aeoryi and everyone else thanks for helping me on my journey of self discovery. i love all of you so much, here’s to the past 7000 post, and the next million and if you weren’t tagged its cause i forgot everyone i talk to, but thanks to you to!!!

GUESS GUESS WHAT GUESS WHO'S FINALLY AFTER OVER TEN YEARS OF BULLYING/LONELINESS/POOR MENTAL HEALTH BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ONE GUESS WHO'S FINALLY GETTING A PHONE!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH took long enough, considering how long ago my 18th birthday was . . . MY PARENTS HATE IT BUT OH THEY CAN'T STOP ME NOWWWWWWWWWWWW *CACKLES* I don't have it yet I get it Friday

Guys I plan to leave the Shard on maybe Wednesday (no I'm not telling you when school ended/ends). My Shardiversary is encompassed by the summer. So ig I have to say something. If I forget you, it's because I'm not following you (I think). @___/Mippo, I've enjoyed getting to know you. Although you don't say enough insane things to make the one liners, you still say lots of funny things that make my day. You are a great sausage. @Through the Living Hopper, you helped me figure out this strange site, and for that, I am in your debt. I also appreciate your pfp. I laugh sometimes when I see it. It strangely reminds me of my little sibling, who looks like a Cryptic running in her nightgown sometimes. @AltonicKeys, you created the Battle for the Sandwich and the Shard wouldn't be the same place without it. Thanks for almost a year of crazy Sandwich-stealing. @Bird Furious, I didn't know you that long, but the time that I did know you was awesome. We all miss you Haly! I don't think that you'll see this, but thanks for your time on the Shard. @ChipsAHoid/[redacted], I'll try not to make this too long. Wow! You've almost lasted a year as both a Shard/irl friend. It's been amazing to have a friend (still sounds strange to say). Storms you're insane. Thanks for introducing me to the Shard/Stormlight, and being the only person in years I feel comfortable talking to. It's been surreal, truly. Thanks for being an awesome Sandernerd/ marimba player/absurdly kind and witty person. Thanks for making me laugh so hard my face hurts. Thanks for a year I'll never forget. Thanks for giving me hope. @CoderDrag0n8, the official ORV Bondsmith! I'm reading it, seriously (not sarcastic). And it's awesome. You're a pretty cool flavored concrete-snorting, fae king, book wyrm, etc. I know there's stuff I'm forgetting please don't kill me no no no. Anyway, the Shard is not the Shard without you and therefore you are the Shard and the Shard is you (don't question my logic it makes sense trust). @Conure1243, you're the most unhinged guy I know (and that is truly one of the best compliments I could ever give). Or maybe the entire world is insane, and you're the only sane one. You never know. Anyway, I love you're amazing quotes and your art that makes my art feel pathetic (which, it is), but that's beside the point. Conure's art is awesome. If you haven't seen it, go look at it because it's insane (and much better than my passable stick figures). I am honored to be the sandwich on the floor. @First of the Tide, the Shardblade you made for me is awesome! I know you're not active on most threads, but that doesn't change how much I've enjoyed talking with you. @GG0z, I still think of you as a 'New Sharder', but you've proven your activity by now. It's very fun fraternizing and being insane together on TLPL. I look forward to hopefully seeing you after summer. Congratulations on me remembering you! *spawns celebratory thunderclasts* @Honors Spectral Image, I believe you were my first Shardbuddy! Thanks for tolerating a year of insanity and confuddling comments! You're super awesome! @Ink and Embers, you're the first Brit I've ever known, and now my opinion of Britain is high. You're so funny and kind and just all around awesome! Thanks for being so nice! I love it when we're both on the Shard at the same time. @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren, I enjoyed meeting you this year, particularly on the Let's Be Radiant thread. Somehow, I've seriously multiplied my sanity by negative two this year (yes because my sanity was in the negatives before; also, no I'm not terribly sane now but it's an improvement), and I think my oaths had a lot to do with that. Understanding myself and all that nonsense. So, thanks especially for refounding the Knights Radiant. And just being yourself in general. You have more humor than Kaladin, trust me. *sends snow* @Kansas Stormcursed, I wish you were on here more often, but I hope you're having fun! You (like pretty much everyone on the Shard) are super awesome. When I first joined on July 5, my parents kicked me off shortly, and the only Shard username (besides Chips and his sister) by the time school startedwas you. Needless to say, I was momentarily very confused because I thought it was a reference I didn't get, but here we are! Thank you for contributing to this awesome year! @PianoSavant/[redacted], I know you don't post on here much, but that doesn't mean that you aren't an amazing Sanderfan! I love your banner---particularly the taynix art! It's beautiful, seriously. Wish I could see you more often. @The Great Wyver, I miss you and all of your absolutely big windy delectable platter of meaty liquids! Super sad that the Shard is blocked (surprised it hasn't on mine yet but am very happy). Hope you're doing okay! @Through The Living Ash, you're another one I miss. I really appreciated your Ashkalodaness (although I suppose I never learned what Ashkaloda even means). I hope you have an awesome life after high school!!!!!!!! @Through The Living Ketek, Master of Keteks, thank you for letting us be insane nerds together. No, I never joined your cult, but that was because it was too late by the time I noticed what was going on. Don't kill me...please. Fellow engineering nerd, fun acquaintance, and good friend overall. @Through the Living Shadow, yippee for like 70,000 name confusions! I survived! Thanks for your kindness, wit, and wrath. Well, it depends on how you define wrath. I wouldn't describe you as a 'wrathful spirit'. I read your writing, it's good too. @Through The Living Star, we're so similar we're practically clones! Except you're nicer, saner (yes you are don't argue), and better at writing! Also you speak Chinese and play ultimate frisbee and do all sorts of cool stuff. Anyways, stay super cool and awesome and don't leave over the summer bc I'll be sadddd. And try not to die. Too much. I'll miss youuuu. @Verdance, congrats on graduating high school!!!! And you're still on the Shard, so I continue to benefit from your presence. And I actually kinda thought about your username a little, and decided to go on a walk (with a Sanderson book). And now instead of sulking, reading, and being depressed, I stare out at nature, sulk, read, and am depressed! (It's better actually so thanks). @Vielence, I miss seeing you more often and hope you're doing great (and getting your much needed warrior cake)! *sends some as a 1 1/2 month late birthday present*. I have definitely enjoyed your often amusing comments! And update: I found Spartan, he wasn't following me (what a sane guy), which is why this part is a little later. If there's someone else I'm forgetting lemme know so I can clear up that terrible mistake @SpartanBrigade, you're the most awesome 148-year old guy I know! (well, so says your birth date). I've enjoyed the magic and the too juicy steak and the too buttery lobster. All in all, Spartan, you are a really nice guy and thanks for existing! Update 2: I also forgot @Usseewa, thank you for letting @----- (no I want my head attached, like Vie said at some point I think) change your username back. It's been simply awesome. Thank you for your persistent kindness and insanity. Storms that took a while. I'll miss you all. And no I'm not dying. See you August or smth (I might be able to sneak on and marvel at the amount of notifs at some point in the summer, but I won't be active until then).

Edit: guess we're gonna keep adding people I missed Ok, here we go. God, 2025 was a year. That was...yeah, let's not do that again. Please. On the bright side, I did make some new friends (I'll get to all of y'all in a second), and have made it almost all the way to being an adult. Life goals! Plus freedom! Anyway, alright. Let's get into this. If I didn't mention you, my sincerest apologies. I tried to hit everyone, but space is limited and my head is still spinning somewhat, so I mostly limited it to those I interact with or have interacted with a lot. Alphabetically! ('Cause that's how my followers are sorted and that's the list I'm going by) @#1 Taln Fan thanks for being the fun mod and interacting with us! And also for putting up with my fairly frequent and probably annoying questions. @Akimikoisthecutest thanks for being fun! And queer! @Argenti honestly it's been awhile since I've interacted with you because it seems like a lot of RPs have died :(. However, thanks for being fun to RP with! @Ashkaloda thanks for being my TLT buddy when I first started! (Pretty please could you and Hawks continue the Cep/Aeryn plot at some point?) @Bird Furious We miss you Haly! It was always fun interacting with you when you were on here. @CalamityBorn (honorable mention since I know him irl) You should totally interact on here more, it's a fun crew @ChipsAHoid yeah you're just fun. You're in too many threads for me to pinpoint a particular one, which is good—when you're actually active and not at school @CoderDrag0n8 You, too, are fun you little dragon nerd @Cookie Spren I'm glad you're back! I mean I wish you'd be back more, but still. Glad you're back with us somewhat. @echo74 admittedly it has been quite some time since we've really interacted, you have moved into the realm of the SU-ers. That said, it was fun interacting with you when you were more active, and we still interact a bit. @Hmmm lies all hail the leader of the Cosmere Queers @Hoid Slayer Mainly I'm sad Brandon didn't read you script cause dang man that thing was good @Honors Ghost yeahh you know. I talk to you enough irl @Ink and Embers Also thanks for being fun! And for mostly putting up with Skye and I's chaos in GDRP @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren the sci-fi-est nerd I know. Hats off to you for the sheer level of sci-fi-dom you have achieved @mippo You are also a fun person. You're kind of all over the site it seems like in various periods, so I also can't really pin you down to one spot @MirkerLurker sad you're not on here more, but I get it. Thanks for patiently listening to the issues I throw at you and offering advice @momadrac also thanks for being fun and queer, and I swear I'll try to get back into the gay RP soon @Ookla the Fishy honestly didn't interact with you too much even back when, but thanks a lot for constantly making me lose the game (here's my retribution ) @Ookla the Whimsical come back!! I'm stuck fighting Skye all the time! He's fun and all, but I need some variety. In all seriousness, hope you're doing well and have a good reason for having been gone for months @Ryn keep the combat pan. Use it well. And much luck in your Ideals; I believe in you @Sarcasm spren dude, seriously, thank you. You've helped keep me sane for most of the past year. Know I'm always here to return the favor. You can even have my number once I turn 18 and am finally not under parental restrictions @Sequence shoutout TLT person! Thanks for having one of the most fun characters to RP with! (Please don't kill her) @Shatter No, I will not move to Canada, but I do enjoy interacting with you. I do need to try some of that Canadian maple syrup you keep telling me about @Spark of Hope I have you permanently catalogued in my head as "fun RP person who's everywhere" @SpartanBrigade dear God thank you for keeping me sane. And for sharing many of my same views, even if we disagree on a few important points (4th wing is good whether you like it or not) @SpiritOfWrath spooky scary old shard person...honestly that is what I associate you with. Specially Wrath. @strmblsd honorable mention cause even though we don't interact that much I remember that I used to see you on here more and EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE YOUR PFP it gets me. So thanks VERY MUCH. @The Great Wyver I swear everybody from this crew is just goofy. I thank you very much for not going back to the days when I'd get fifty notifs in two hours from you and Coder alone...but also you should come back more. Also, you're stuck with Blue. That's not going away. @Through The Living Glass REALLY OLD SHARDER. Who is somehow still active. And not actually that old, but yk. I was hearing legends even when I joined. *nom* *combat pan bonk for good measure* stick around. @TwinStorm You, too, are fun to RP with. I may try to do some stuff with Cricket soon, so as to try to unfreeze at least one plotline...that admittedly I actually let drop cause I got busy. My bad And with that HOLY JESUS that took way longer than I meant it to. Started trying to write this around 7:30, and it is now almost 11. Had to pause 'cause the parents wanted to show me Schindler's List (hell of a way to mark the new year, let me tell you), but I finally got it all done. Was more rambly than I guess I originally intended, but whatever that's how my brain works. I love all y'all guys though, it's super fun being on here and I'm glad I found this place Anyway I really hope I get to meet some of y'all irl soon...like maybe in a couple years when I can finally make it to DSNX

GUYS FHSBJWOASDKXLCVNKFGHWE I GOT INTO THE COLLEGE I WANTED won't say where but this is a huge relief AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LITERALLY JUST OPENED MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER LIKE FIVE MINUTES AGO

@Through The Living Ash @Through The Living Coder @Through The Living Ghost @Through The Living Girl @Through The Living Grass @Through the Living Heir @Through the Living Hope @Through the Living Hopper @Through the Living Ink @Through the living keigs @Through The Living Ketek @Through the Living Mippo @Through the Living Wrath @Through The Living Spartan @Through The Living Shatter @Slay the Living Hoid @Throw TheLiving Silverware @Through The Living Skies @ThroughTheLivingIlliterate @ThroughTheLivingSequence @Through the Living Questio @Through the living jeff TO ME, MY CHILDREN! COME FORTH! *cackles* *thunder crashes*

Home is a wet dog held tightly, a pair of tangled earphones, sleeping people you’ve known for longer than they’ve known themselves. Home is a fleeting thing. Home is a scary thing, because home is where you’re allowed to be scared, and so home itself becomes frightening. home is hating. home is having. home is heavy and whole and unrelenting. i love my puppy

OH Also Am working on a Sharder Family Tree that EVERYONE will be able to access and edit Within reason of course so should have that for y'all in the next couple days :3333333 hehehe It's nice to be back on here after a month even if no one else is awake rn . . . Suppose that's my own fault heh . . . I'm gonna sleep now before someone chases me off NIGHT! *poof*

Hmm, it’s my shardiversary. Definitely not here as much as I used to be, but I’m glad for the time I’ve had. It’s been fun. Cool to see how much both I and the site have changed. Thanks, all, for making it the place that it is.

College applications scholarship applications writing contests (aka more scholarship apps) on a board to help plan Storycon, a writing convention especially for teenagers in Utah which Brandon Sanderson (among many others) is going to. new classes three campuses 6 college classes this semester CNA program first day of school, and none of my classes are at my actual high school watched the sunrise from the football field with beautiful friends I never expected to have new nails beautiful resin and flower necklace I made yesterday i have stories to tell i have people to meet i have a whole world to see and this whole world is going to see me, and i dare it to try to stay the same when I’m done with it guys, I know a lot of you are struggling. I know there are days when you don’t want to wake up. I know there are nights when you curl up on the bathroom floor, broken in pieces, trying to remember how to breathe, tearing at your hair and itching at the tearstains that never seem to leave. i know your ache i have sat on that floor i have looked in that mirror i have imagined the world if all it contained of me was a few words I’d left behind i have screamed at the wind and begged the earth to let me go and it didn’t because it knew that the person I was then wasn’t the person I’d be today it knew that there were untold wonders I couldn’t bear to imagine it knew that today was worth the hurt it took to get here And I know that the person you are now isn’t the person you will always be i know that there are untold wonders you can’t bear to imagine i know that some distant tomorrow is worth the hurt it takes to get there this whole life thing? it’s pretty amazing

These days, I look in the mirror and find myself a man of lies. I must apologize in advance, I am feeling seriously depressed right now and that is making me dramatic and eloquent; I feel like taking this seriously. At some point I was always going to have to make this decision, and it's not one that I am enjoying making, but I don't really have a choice. This was going to happen eventually. I am terrible at keeping secrets. Some of you may be aware I have some very loving, very conservative, very controlling parents. I have simultaneously defended and complained about them many, many times, but in the end, they love me very much and want what's best for me. Well, they have discovered this 17thShard account that I have, and they do not like it. I cannot say that everything I have said on here is true. I have time and time again expressed opinions on religion, gender and sexuality, mental health, and other topics, and I can't really say that all of it is true. At my core, I lie through my teeth, supporting things I do not truly support, condemning things that I do not condemn, because if I don't, I won't have any friends. You all would dismiss me as hateful and ignorant and never speak to me again, because in some ways I am. I certainly don't hate any of you. I really can't believe that all of this is just some mental illness or something like that. Regardless, I can't keep pretending to support it in any capacity. 2 Peter 2:4-10 mentions a person from Genesis, Lot, who lived in the city of Sodom, an ancient city legendary for its degeneracy and violence. Lot was a follower of God who lived among these people, even becoming an arbiter or judge among them. In Genesis 18, Abraham barters with God, who is planning to destroy the city for its sin. After some time, God agrees that if ten righteous men can be found in Sodom, the city would be spared. Immediately after, the account cuts to Lot. Two male angels have been sent to his house to warn him about the coming destruction. Lot asks them to stay the night in his house for safety, but they refuse, accepting his food and sleeping in the courtyard. Later that night, a mob arrives at Lot's house. Their intentions towards the angels, or strangers, are not pure. Lot literally is in the process of bargaining away his daughters to the mob, but the angels blind the mob, and everyone escapes. 2nd Peter mentions what Lot was feeling: he was greatly distressed, because he loved all the people around him and yet wanted nothing to do with them. You all are not Sodom. But I certainly feel like Lot. I cannot continue existing here on the Shard. Feel free to ban me or wipe my account, I can't say I won't care, it will hurt a lot. But I have already made this decision. After my father specifically violated my privacy, going through my posts, he was immediately shocked at what he saw. Lies. Beautiful lies, from a lonely little boy clinging desperately to some sort of friendship. Very, very convincingly. I cannot justify his anger. I am only glad he held his temper back physically, which he has not done in the past. He is watching, reading through everything I have said, joking or serious, lies or truth, and I'm about essentially stand trial for it. I would like to reiterate that I am 18 years old and would like to be allowed to make my own decisions, but I also would like to have a house and a bed and food and water, and it has been made very clear that enjoying those privileges is not compatible with any form of disobedience. Maybe I really am a hateful monster. I lie to everyone around me, just to cling to them and get something from them. Even when I try to show love, it's almost another form of manipulation. Are we all manipulating each other? On my way to the library where I am typing this, I passed a mother bird protecting her eggs, sitting a short ways away from the railroad track I was using to travel. I stopped, and watched as any time I drew nearby, she would puff herself up and screech at me. It took me a minute to register that I was the threat. I was the looming, dangerous monster who had not thirty seconds ago been screeching harsh lyrics in the woods at the top of my lungs. Why wouldn't she be wary around me? Everything I touch turns water into blood, I don't look away when the bough breaks, I don't really love, I just hate being alone. I am so very happy my parents have taken away my autonomy, my agency, my knives, so I can't hurt myself. And I hate it all the same. And when I return to some form of logical sanity, I just remember how self centered I am. It's not about me. I'm in this love hate relationship with absolutely everything in my life. And when it comes time to decide between the two, I will become the villain to you all. My parents will still see me as deceptive, hateful, cowardly, rebellious, and godless. You all will see me as nothing more than a hateful bigot. There's nothing I really can do to change all this; again, I need a place to live. And in truth, I don't support anything LGBTQ. I really can't say that I believe everything the Bible teaches and say "happy pride month" in the same sentence. A fountain cannot spout both fresh and salt water. That doesn't mean I see any of you any less, if anything, right now I am the worst person on the planet in my own eyes. None of my scant morality, precious philosophy, or arrogant theology means anything without my faith. I cannot continue straddling a line, I have to choose between one or the other- and when my life is completely meaningless without Christ, I will choose Christ. No matter what any of you think of me, I still love you all, I still respect you all, I still appreciate you all. This is goodbye. Whether something I have said here violates Shard rules or not, I will not be returning. Thank you all so much for these few months. I sincerely wish you all the best. - Noah.

As some of you may know, my grandfather is in the hospital. I went to check on him on Monday, and he isn't doing well. I got an update from my mother (his daughter) that he has probably caught RSV. He is on oxygen. The family is coming down tomorrow evening. He is likely going to die this month. I will also be offline more due to the family coming down and the possibility of us going into mourning.

I missed Wednesday hmph Is okay Was busy all day hanging out with some wonderful amazing Sharders before Dragonsteel

My grandfather died a few minutes ago. Not sure what else to say.

SHARDIVERSARY WHOOOO YOU ALL ARE AMAZING i'm too tired to do individual stuff BUT I LOVE YOU ALLLLLLL crazy that's it's been two years . . .

Chat I finally met my mysterious 4th coworker We’ve worked at the same place for about 8 months now. Texted about shifts and things. But I never met her… Until tonight. Where she pretended to be a patron, and did all the things, and acted clueless. And then, right before leaving, told me who she was. i don’t know what’s real anymore no one can be trusted

GUYS GUYS GUYS I'M MOVED INTO THE DORMS I'M SO HAPPY T~T I haven't felt this good in a long time *hugs everyone enthusiastically* OH AND THAT ASTRONOMY CLASS?? IT'S IN A FREAKING PLANETARIUM!!!!! teehee :3 How are you guys??

Hullooooo :D:D hehehe I got a top-floor dorm no noise from upstairs neighbors >:3

For a while my internal “Council of the Elans” has thought about this. I’ve taken steps, but with all that’s been weighing on me, all that I still have to do, I think my time has come. I’m grateful for all that you guys were to me, and forever into the future I send you hugs. Bye Elan

REP NINJA I SAW THAT

chat humanitarian work? The coolest im gonna be volunteering in South American orphanages all summer It’s gonna be awesome, I cannot wait

aw You guys are so sweet How's it goin'?

I’m not a witch. I’m standing in the dark, black cat coiled around my ankles, various herbs in my hands and scattered around me, chanting poetry to the moon for perfectly mundane and logical reasons. my favorite part is that every word of that is true. Like I know there’s no way to prove it, but it is. also, I’m wearing purple crocs.

one of my butterflies hatched!! hello, beautiful. Welcome to the world. soon it will fly 7,000 miles for the winter. Then it’ll come back, lay some eggs, and the cycle starts again. butterflies are so cool. @Cash67, you can keep the atoms and elements and electrons. I’ve got magic.

HI EVERYONE HOW ARE YOU !!! ??? Turns out full time student + part time job is a killer combo, but there's nothing like procrastinating homework to bring one back to the forums amiright. It's life update time! How am I? I have no idea lol I'm all over the place. My job isn't too bad. It's fast food so it can only be so good, but all of my coworkers are nice to me and it's not like it's that hard, just tiring. I get covered in ice cream everytime tho lollll College is hard, and reading the textbooks takes me hours because for some reason I can't read quickly anymore. But it's also really fun. I like studying at the library and walking around the pretty campus and sometimes buying snacks. Also lowkey having the freedom to go up and back from campus everyday as an adult is giving me life. Sometimes a girl just needs a good wander now and then. I'm enjoying my classes, and I've already made some ugly art which is good. Don't worry about all my currently due assignments, they're not there if I don't think about them!!! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. A lot of stuff happened but it's late and I do remember anything tbh ... I rearranged all the furniture in my room which is really fun. I have room for more bookcases now which means I can buy more books eheheheheeheheh. I plan on decorating it and making it a really special place for myself cause it's basically my comfert zone. Plus I don't have a dorm room to decorate because I'm living at home so I gotta have my fun somehow. I starting reading WoT. My brother and I are gonna try and buddy read the whole series which will be fun I think. I have no idea how to pronounce moiooiranine or whatever her name is. Updates on more serious stuff I guess? I want to say I'm doing better now then I was a few months ago but I don't know if that's true ... I just have a lot more distracting me and keeping me busy lol. That's not necessarily a bad thing! I've missed you all and I love you so much. I hate how I've disappeared and believe me when I say forum activity is not the only thing that has suffered for the insanity that is my life ... I have so many neglected hobbies ... and unfinished projects ... and my succulents are dying ... I can tell it's getting late because my laptop and my phone simultaneously ran out of battery so I gotta wrap this up!! I'll probably think of more things to say in the morning, but that's all the big stuff. Love you <333

College is kinda based Working fast food is kinda not

Something that still gets me to this day is how much a few of my friends trusted me Not saying they shouldn't but idk it just blows my mind Like for example I once told a short story about an apple core being thrown out of a moving car and coming back through the open back window (not particularly interesting I know but it was relevant in the moment) Told it Friends listened We moved on Two-to-three years later a friend and I were talking and the story got brought up again by her Her: Oh, like that time you got hit by a fish throw out the car window Me: *is visibly confused* Her: No, remember? You the story a few years ago. You got hit by a fish that your dad threw out the car window. An albacore? Anyway I realized what was going on and we had a good laugh about it once I cleared it up but it still blows me away that she literally just trusted that Idk I guess I'm not really used to that Anyway lol I was just thinking about that and wanted to share it with you guys

when you're so insecure that wearing the wrong dress code to an event makes you want to just scudding die mmmm love being me
