too many questions, and none of the answers


but i just want to say happy new year to everyone. for me, my ending half of 2022 was awful, and i genuinely think that 2023 is going to be better because it has to be. i had a really bad reading year, my mental health is akin to smelly trash, and i have been more withdrawn from certain people. i'm trying to use this break from school to catch up on notes and assignments that have been left on the backburner. and overall, i just really want to start 2023 off on a good foot. i thank God for keeping me until this present moment, and i pray for amazing things in my future. amen.




Saying shit we don't mean, I mean we're liars
But the truth is we're messed up and we like it
Shut up, shut up, shut up

as i was about to leave my house for school, i noticed a small rip along the seam of my sweater's sleeve. i asked my mom for some safety pins, hoping i could fix it quickly while getting to school. i tried the safety pins, but they didn't work, so i found a string and stuck it through the holes of fabric that used to be connected (it's a knit sweater). i tied the string together which connected the pieces of fabric and made my ripped sleeve look better. by this point, the rip had gotten to my forearm. this whole process took 15-20 minutes and i was happy to have finished literally right before getting to school. but as i lifted my arm to open the door and walk into school, i noticed that there was a rip on my other sleeve too. there was no time to do a quick diy project like i had done on the other sleeve, so i just clutched the newly ripped sleeve in my hand to hold it together. my plan was to wait till lunch and fix this sleeve the way i had done to the other one while driving to school, but by the end of 1st period, the rip on the sleeve had traveled all the way up to my elbow. when lunch came around, one of my friends helped me fix the sleeve by putting a string through the fabric and tying it. however, as i was triple knotting the string, the strain from my arm against my sweater split the seam all the way to the armpit and down my side. (i should probably mention that i did have a shirt on underneath so this wasn't an issue of potential nakedness) basically, my sweater wasn't wearable at this point, so i went to one of the school offices and asked for a sweater.
i find this entire situation hilarious which makes me really happy. i feel like i could have easily hated my day because this happened, but instead im seeing a brighter side to the situation and laughing at my series of unfortunate events. this feels like growth.



You're losing touch
All these little things seem to matter so much
That they confuse you
That I might lose you
Take a moment remind yourself to
Take a moment and find yourself
Take a moment to ask yourself if
This is how we fall apart?
But it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
You've got nothing, got nothing, got nothing, got nothing to fear
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here
~ Steven Universe

like don't get me wrong, i adore f, but speaking from experience, it wouldn't end very well. which leads me to my next point, maybe i have just had too many bad experiences with friend groups. cuz j didn't seem to understand when i was explaining why we should not invite f, so maybe j has always had a "stable" friend group.










do exactly as your joyful therapist says
praying for a miracle you know you won't get
because you aren't right in your crowded head
so you will sit in the corner you started in
hoping that someone lets you swim
through the lengths of their mind because it's definitely
better than the mess you harbor desperately
