Through The Living Glass

... Um, ew. That's disgusting. Geez. I had Biology last year, and when we did the parasite unit we watched this video about parasitic wasps and caterpillars; but we didn't watch anything like that! Still disgusting though. Never again do I want to take Biology. (although the DNA unit was pretty cool)

Honestly, I know it'll be stressful, but I'm really looking forward to getting out of my parents' house, going to college and working/paying for myself, and just being independent. It'll be different, for sure, but I don't think it'll be a bad kind of different.

I got a year left. Yay, I guess?

Or the cause.

Geez, yeah. I would much rather not be medicated, please and thank you.

Yeah... it's not cool at all. I just kind of deal with it though, y'know? Not much else I can do. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I have a friend on ADHD meds, and he's like 'oh yeah these could cause this problem and this problem and all these problems and actually it could even make it worse' and I'm like 'I'm good thanks.'

"I think I should finish telling the story, first." Javi turned and walked towards the entrance. "Thank you for the food." She walked up to the man. Whispering so no one else could hear, she told him, "Don't get a boot cake," then walked out.

Insa doesn't find that particularly funny.

"I... guess that makes sense. What kinds of dangerous animals?"

Okay, so first of all I'm super fidgety all the time, I can't hold still unless I'm either consciously thinking about holding still or in a really, really uncomfortable situation. I'll twirl my pencil a lot, or bounce my leg almost constantly, or sometimes I even just start bobbing up and down when I'm with my friends without really thinking about it (they think it's hilarious, and actually I do too ). Second of all, I have a hard time concentrating on things for long periods of time. I'll be in school, in math class or something, and I just zone out. All the time. Hate it. Thirdly, I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, which doesn't help with my fidgeting or concentration, either. I also talk a lot, which doesn't sound like a huge deal, but when I say a lot I mean A LOT. Not even interesting things, just random things that pop into my head. And maybe that's not a symptom necessarily, but I've heard of it being one. Oh and I hum and sing a lot without even realizing it. That one's always a bit embarrassing afterward. What about you?

Always. TBPM should be sleeping right now.

Yeah, I'm also pretty sure I have depression and ADHD. Both are technically undiagnosed, but the first I have for sure, and the second... Well, you'd be able to tell if you met me irl, trust me. It's pretty frustrating sometimes, honestly.

Hi LightRinger! Welcome to the Shard! For some reason while I was reading your first post I imagined you with an Australian accent... Idk lol. If you could visit any country on Roshar for a week, what country would it be and why?

That's good! I know too many people who either don't have anyone to talk to or don't talk to anyone about anything at all. (literally me up until three months ago though ) Yikes... That's not so good.

Oh, girlie... I want to give you such a big hug right now! *hug* Is there someone close to you who you can talk to about all this irl? I do feel some of those, really, but social anxiety doesn't seem fun at all...

Insa followed Roy past the mesh wiring. "Why is there a barrier?"

No, that makes sense. You don't want to annoy people or make them mad, I get it. Why do you say it's horrible? If you want to, go ahead. Totally up to you!

Of course. TPBM likes the smell of Expo-brand markers.

Daaaang girl. You good?

Turns out Lassiter is the one being held at gunpoint, so I steal the sandwich instead. I take the sandwich to Atlantis via submarine.

Insa narrows her eyes at him. "Okay..." She goes back to staring out the window.

That's amazing!

No, mine! I win! Not you! *laughter*

Javi took another bite of the cake. What an odd flavor... "I'm sorry, I already promised not to sell my candles in your restaurant. I have never broken a promise, not for any reason, and I don't plan to start now." She finished her food and got up to leave. "I will return sometime, and tell you the rest of the story."

Insa sighs quietly. Great. Hopefully things would be pretty calm. She continues to stare out the window at the passing foliage. She turns her head sharply towards Roy. "Wait, what did you say?"
