never knew where was home.
i've slept a lifetime alone.
the world’s shyest dj just worked up the courage to sniff the microphone and whimper quietly
i hate how you get desensitized to the cool stuff in your WIP if you've been writing it for a long time so when you read back over it you're like "this isn't as cool as i thought :(" but it still is! you just read it too many times
I have this big time with writing music. I'll start with an idea I'm really jazzed about but by the end I hate it. A month or two later I'll listen again and be shocked that I thought something so good was garbage. I feel like it's necessary for creatives to lose all sense of how other people experience their work in order to refine it.
My favorite thing to do when someone asks me to perform a simple task is to say “No” while doing it
if i told you what rhis sounded ljke i dont think youd believe me so just listen
not to sound traumatized, but it feels unreal that someone can just miss you and want you around so often. I feel like every worry within me keeps repeating, “until when? until when?” and the people I love and that love me confirm, “as long as you’d like.”
saw someone refer to not knowing how to keep track of your money as "girl math" ......why are we in this weird era of treating women like idiots but repackaging it to sound cute and quirky. We All Need To Stop
at this point i also take issue with those tweets/posts that are of the genre “girls were meant to sit in their bed with treats and do nothing all day” it was fun and #relatable maybe the first few times but it’s really just feeding into this weird mass objectification and dehumanization of women going on all over every social media platform now
Sorry if it’s a little cramped- had to make this all fit in ten photos. Hope you guys like it….. and again…. sorry Andrew

NO
I haven’t seen this in years and yet it is burned into my memory forever.
tumblr’s exactly like an ancient forum. It’s just a bunch of people in robes sitting around saying shit like “Cannibalism… is equal to Sexual inter-course” and another guy disagrees and goes “Not true; however Plushies get hurt when you throw them off the bed as they have Souls” and everyone nods and that’s the accepted metaphysical truth for the next few days
basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.
if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out.
unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.
Are you a part of Generation Fucked?
This is so frighteningly accurate holy shit I'm Generation Fucked.
I wish they taught a class on what being a normal human is like
Like, the normal amount of pain is zero. The normal amount of wishing you weren’t ever born is zero. Food isn’t supposed to itch or hurt*. Going numb (any time outside sitting in one position too long) isn’t normal. Passing out isn’t normal. Normal people take like 10-20 minutes to fall asleep, and sleep like 6-9 hours. You’re supposed to get one period a month, which is manageable with a few tampons or pads a day and lasts 3-6 days.
These are all things I had to find out later, like a moron.
(fibromyalgia, depression, allergies, cataplexy, narcolepsy, PCOS and endometriosis)
*spicy food is supposed to hurt?
Sneezing when you see bright light? Normal.
Sneezing hurting your ribs so bad it makes breathing hard? Not normal.
It’s normal to hear a fluttering in your ears when you yawn. It’s not normal for your ears to hurt so much your teeth hurt too.
It’s normal to sleep badly and wake up sore every now and then. It’s not normal to lay awake because pain is keeping you up.
It’s normal to be nervous to see a doctor. It’s not normal to put off care because of your anxitey
So many times I’ve realized something about my body is super messed up when I’m like “you know how when X, Y?” And all my friends are like…no. I don’t experience X.
A couple good additions from the notes:
(image description: screenshot of a reply to this post from fiddlysticks that says “Took me up until very recently to learn headaches aren’t supposed to feel heavy and fuzzy, make you extra sensitive to light and sound, be debilitating, and last about 3 days lol)
(image description: screenshot of a reply to this post from raw-squid that says “Also like period cramps arent supposed to literally wake you up, even with the strongest over the counter painkillers :) )
Some additions from my own experience:
-Crunchy foods like toast or pizza are apparently not supposed to cut up the inside of your mouth and make you bleed- that’s unusually fragile skin and might indicate a connective tissue disorder
-Wearing jeans or bulky jackets isn’t supposed to make you feel like you’re dying- that’s a sensory processing difference, more specifically tactile defensiveness
-Ribs are not supposed to dislocate when you laugh too hard (connective tissue disorder again)
-Waking up exhausted every single day isn’t supposed to happen- could be any number of underlying conditions
-Standing up is not supposed to cause your heart rate to skyrocket and you to get super dizzy- that’s dysautonomia, anemia, or something similar
-Constantly sitting like a pretzel as a teen or adult mean nothing, but if other people are baffled by how you’re comfortable in those positions, you might be hypermobile or neurodivergent or both!
-The normal amount of seeing double is almost none! And even if you’ve seen double your whole life, the eye doctor can still prescribe you glasses that fix it
-Have a few “floaters” in your vision is normal, having constant showers of them that interfere with your vision is not
Basically, just because everyone in your family experiences something doesn’t mean it’s normal, it might mean there’s something genetic going on and you should ask a “control group” friend
• Food isn’t supposed to make your mouth itch. That’s an allergy
• Coffee isn’t supposed to put you to sleep
• Your period is not supposed to be more painful than labor (found that out with child #2)
• Your friends do not hate you. Yes, even when they’re too busy to answer your text. That’s RSD
• 100 and 1000 are not the same number. Most people don’t transpose numbers regularly. Most people do not find Algebra easier than arithmetic because variables mean less numbers to accidentally mix up. That’s dyscalculia
• Lights in the distance should be round. If they stretch like stars have your eyes checked for astigmatism
Everyone always talked about halos and I didn’t realize until I saw a picture of normal vs astigmatism to realize how much it affects me. The points take up my whole field of vision, top to bottom.
most people cant hear the buzz/hum of large household appliances or lights being on, thats autism
if it takes you an hour or more to fall asleep on average thats probably either autism or adhd, but could be other stuff, if meds dont improve it go to a sleep specialist to see
some people simply do not have 24 hour circadian rhythms. if you find the time you are asleep vs awake every day slowly crawls forward until for some periods you are nocturnal and then after another while you are diurnal again, this is probably you
spicy food causes your mouth to be more sensitive to heat, so if youre feeling pain/discomfort thats not heat related while eating it youre probably allergic to something in the meal
if you find yourself wishing you could be a different gender you can just try that to see if you like it
most people can just do things. if you feel completely unable to do something even if you want/need to and have to trick yourself into it, thats executive dysfunction. could be adhd could be some other mental illness
if caffeine puts you to sleep thats also adhd
if you regularly completely forget the plots things you saw/read/played a year or more ago/have similar memory loss issues with other things in your life, that too is almost definitely adhd (but if your memory loss is more extensive there could be other factors too)
The normal odds of making it through any given meal without vomiting immediately afterwards are 100%.
Remembering stressful and damaging things that have happened to you in vivid detail and feeling as if you're experiencing it all over again is PTSD
Instinctual mirroring of other people's emotional states can be PTSD, neurodivergence, or both
Seeing noise in your vision all the time, even when it's bright out, is visual snow
Seeing random sparks, streaks, and flashes of light in your vision is photopsia
Continuing to see images after they've left your vision, not just bright lights but any image, is palinopsia
no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you
kicked out of another chess club for repeatedly sneaking my new piece 'the warlock' onto the board
