  5. You'll be back...

    Dear Theodosia (or something like that)

    I just finished Hamilton.

    I... that was an amazing experience of history and music.

    There were things I didn't like, some of the swear words and the abundance of them, that one scene that I know you know, their portrayal of Thomas Jefferson. But... there were the amazing things too.

    The music, just all of it, the casting choices, the brilliant interpretations of historical things, the awesomeness of Jonathon Groff.

    Wait, let's talk about Jonathon Groff for a minute. It's Kristoff from FROZEN. That laugh of his in that one continuation of you'll be back. Jonathon Groff is the best part of this movie. Screw the story, screw the character arcs, screw the music, Jonathon Groff is the best.

    Speaking of characters, that whole thing at the end where Angelica was like "Eliza's happiness means more to me than anything. I hope you're happy, Alexander." That was just... that was a pure genius ending to her arc. It ended all question to where her loyalties lay. It was BRILLIANT.

    Amazing! 9 outta 10! AMAZING!

  7. So my textbooks came in, but ive been feeling a bit bad and guilty for not feeling like studying recently, even though college is like a month away since all the registration work hasn't even finished. 

    But, you know I've been having a really bad week and I think i realised that if im not feeling my best, stressing out over something not even here yet is a straight up recipe for worse mental health. 

    I think, sometimes you have to realise that your mental peace is the most important thing. Its the thing you need to protect at all costs. 

    And sometimes slowing down, taking a deep breath and giving yourself some TLC is the best thing you can do. 

    Sometimes all you need is to paint your nails and watch youtube for a while. Or Netflix. Sometimes all you need is to listen to calming music and read for like six hours. Sometimes all you need is to take a walk and listen to a podcast.

    And thats...thats okay.

    It makes me wonder, why do we as a society put so much emphasis on "hustling"? On getting as much work done as possible; why do we get called lazy for not filling every second of every day with "productivity"? (What even is productivity anyway? Shouldn't it be subjective? It is defined as "how efficiently an individual completes his/ her goals". What if my goal is to binge watch the entirety of a Netflix show?) (I'm not saying that its all you do. But we shouldn't have set parameters for what productivity means)

    And i mean, this is an excuse that at least my parents have used in the past, "If you're not well enough to do (insert work or chore) then you're not well enough to (insert thing you enjoy)" 

    Which is absolute crem. Doing that work would be more physically and mentally taxing than the thing you enjoy. And i can guarantee you that doing something you enjoy while you're sick will help you get better that much quicker. It took me a long time to stop feeling guilty for being "well enough" to read even though i was too sick to study or do some chores. 

    You don't have to just lie in bed like a log of wood. 

    (Went on a slight tangent there but eh)

    Thing is. This is your life. And you get only one shot at it. 

    Isn't it your responsibility to make the absolute best of it? 

    And sure. 

    That means chasing your dream; it means getting work done; it means getting to a particular level in life. 

    But if you're sacrificing your mental health and peace for it, then you aren't really making the best of your life. Because life is inherently meant to be lived. To have fun, to do things you enjoy and to be happy. 

    This was way too long, and idk why i wrote it but I'll end with this. 

    Quote

    Are we living a life that is safe from harm?
    Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?

    In short, its okay to chill out. Chase your dreams, don't get caught up in useless drama and enjoy life for what it is.

      Okay 

      This is an effed up world with effed up people in it 

      But you are not one of them. You are one of the most fun, loving, amazing, awe inspiring people ive ever met. You don't have to listen to anyone who tries to make you feel bad, though i know that is a very difficult task. But remember Eleanor Roosevelt said that no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. 

      Look ive been in your situation before and all i can say is that you have to remember it is not your fault. 

      You are an amazing person. And i want you to remember we are all here for you. My DMs are always open if you need to vent.

  14. Raindrops, like falling glass. Shattering on the pavement, like your heart. A million pieces of hard lines and sharp edges, ready to cut and hurt. 

    Hurt, like you were hurt. 

    Broken, broken. 

    Sprawled limbs and lolled head. 

    Bleeding heart, and numb veins. 

    When will it ever end?

  15. yesterday i told my mom i probably have depression.

    and after explaining the reasons why that me and my therapist came to during our session on wednesday, she agreed with me.

     

    what.

    i was not expecting her to agree with me.

    see now, the reasons i have depression are as follows:

    1. my mothers post-partum after me was the worst post-partum she’s ever had, and she told me she had suspected that the first year of my life night have screwed me up a bit because of how it screwed her up.

    2. covid pushed up the already higher-than-normal bar of emotional stability, so that it was oh so close to overflowing the emotion-pot. i was unstable, but not completely falling apart. yet.

    3. that whole deal with one of my closest friends, practically my sibling, who i met at FSY last year, trying to take her own life late last july. that traumatized me and made the emotion-pot bubble over, gifting me anxiety, and now depression

    4. other things that made the emotion-pot bubble up, such as my four years of digestive issues before finally figuring out last november it was both lactose intolerance AND gluten intolerance. those four years were very traumatizing and i now have very very severe emetophobia :))))

     

    anywho, wednesday is my birthday, and thursday is my yearly well check with my doctor, and we’re gonna bring it up with her then

    hopefully i don’t just fall apart at the seams before then ahaha

      Calano we're here for you 

      *hugs* 

      Im so glad your mom agreed with you and you will be getting the help you might need 

      All of that sounds like a lot to have gone through, and even then depression doesn't need a reason to pop up. 

      Kaladin had depression from the time he was a child. 

      My point being- it doesn't make you any less than what you are. You are still wonderful and amazing 

      Depression is a monster.  But fairy tales exist to teach us not that monsters exist but that they can be defeated. 

      (Yes, i paraphrased this. And my phone kept autocorrupting to "mobster" for some reason) 

      Im not saying its going to magically go away. But I am saying that you are stronger than it. The real victory is not in never falling, but getting up everytime you do. 

      Again, we are here for you and my DMs are always open if you need to vent or even just talk.

  16. here’s the plan:

    i leave for my mission in about a year.

    meaning i leave luna for 2 years: an eternity to my romantic mind. but i’m trading this eternity for another eternity.

    either way, i have a great idea that i’m well on my way to completing.

    for every day i’m gone, all 730, i will write 1 little thing. a short romantic phrase, a mini poem.

    and as long as i write at least two per day, i’ll be finished quickly.

    i’ve already done 24 of them.

    also my lightsabers here.

    AND ITS SOOOO WORTH THE EXTRA 100 DOLLARS

  25. guys

    i think i have depression

    i… do not like this. i did my research. i know what can cause it, i know the symptoms.

    i’m still just a kid… my parents probably wouldn’t be happy if i told them.

    i’ll probably tell them anyway, and tell my therapist so she can help me.

    hopefully i can recieve either a diagnosis of it or a diagnosis of not having it from my doctor soon.

    i… don’t want to have depression. but after the things that have happened to me, it’s not surprising.

    im scared. a double whammy of depression AND anxiety is… not fun.

    help.
