people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you’ll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.
me (scared & alone) out in the wider world trying to broaden my horizons:
i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they’re like “uhm… translate? 😒” fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don’t need to know what they’re saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY
i sent this meme to 7 people, and 4 of them asked me to translate for them. i legitimately do not think that was necessary.
a bottom-tier autistic experience is being told throughout your entire childhood that you are just an overthinker when it comes to social situations and later finding out that your friends did, in fact, hate being around you and tried to communicate that through weird little hints
I have so muchtrauma about this, that all those friendly like “your friends don’t hate you, they’re just busy!” posts honestly grate on my nerves at this point.
Because like, yeah, sometimes they do hate you. Sometimes you’re fighting for your fucking life, masking so hard so you have no fuckin’ clue who you even are, and the dissociated shell of a copied personality you’re remotely piloting manages to make some friends.
But then they start seeing all the cracks in your facade. You’re not really like them. You’re just several raccoons in an extremely ill fitting skin suit and they find your chittering off putting.
But our society has no script for that. So they just pretend to like you. And you just pretend to be the person they could like. And on some level everyone knows we’re all pretending and everyone hates it, but no one says anything.
And then school ends and you drift apart and that happens at least two or three times while your brain is still solidifying shit, and at some point you just start to believe that You’re bad at making friends.
When in reality, you were never given a chance to be who you are to attract the kinda folks who would actuallyenjoy being your friend in the first place.
Arya really did have an exellent education, with syrio, that suited her natural talents impeccably. And im not talking about the sword, but for her ability to see the truth, and how syrio honed it.
‘relationships are work’ means ‘you have to put effort into loving each other intentionally & learning how to love each other and communicating properly’ not ‘your relationship makes you feel stressed and sad most of the time & the other person disrespects you and treats you bad but you stay anyway’
Also it should feel like it’s worth the effort. You put that kind of work into relationships because the people involved make each other happy enough that maintaining it is a worthy cause. A relationship should never feel like just work, even if nobody’s actively mistreating anyone.
An officer entering Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall Tuesday evening to break up a pro-Palestinian demonstration fired his gun inside the hall, in an incident that is now under review by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office a spokesperson confirmed Thursday evening in response to an inquiry from THE CITY.
The gun fired did not appear to be aimed at anyone and no one was injured, said Doug Cohen, a spokesperson for Bragg’s office, who said the office’s Police Accountability Unit is reviewing the shooting, which it does as a matter of policy.
this has to stop. these are out-of-control brutes. they are going to kill someone out of their desire or negligence. this is a war on students because they say “free palestine” for a foreign state made up of war criminals committing genocide.
these two felines were introduced at 6 weeks old in order to give more enrichment for the lynx and for education purposes, however they got along fantastically from the start and were eventually moved to permanently live with one another.
a much less exciting story, but a much cuter one as well.
