It never ends
A chain of worsening events
jumping into this crackship bandwagon
I... needed this tonight
Something that schools don't teach you but is much needed: how to have a work/life balance that works for you.
As someone who works fulltime and does classes and attempts a social life and hobbies, this gets very hard and stressful. But here are some tips I have for helping:
Learn to say no and not feel guilty. Picking up that extra shift when you had plans? Politely decline. Your friend is begging you to take ANOTHER class when your plate is full so you can have one together? Just be honest and say you can't.
Prioritize your sleep and eating. You can't function well if you don't sleep and eat enough. These are not things you can just push aside and do when you get the time. These are basic things you need to survive. These are literally basic needs. Don't throw them to the side. Your body does its best to take care of you. Make sure you take care of it too.
Have boundaries and be firm with them. If you tell your manager you can only work x, y, and z, don't let them add a or b to it. Respectfully but firmly let them know that you can't take on those things and if they have you do a or b, your work overall is going to majorly decrease in quality. Schedule time for yourself. For studying. For going out. And treat those set aside times just like you would if they were work or school times or appointments. You are the most important part of your life.
Understand that some weeks are going to be absolute hell. You're not going to have enough time. You're going to be exhausted and cry and throw things and want to quit everything. You got this babe. Take breaks and remind yourself how amazing you are and treat yourself after.
Prioritize things and adopt better habits. Wash your dishes right after using them. Get a set bedtime. Get easy breakfast things. Take a walk.
Your friends will understand if you just need time alone. I promise. They love you and don't hate you because you're overwhelmed. I PROMISE. And if they don't, maybe they aren't really your friends.
Not everyone is a friend. Some people are acquaintances. Some people are a 5 minute smoke break at work for your sanity. Some people are drinking buddies. Some people are library study date friends. And that's ok! Not everyone has to be your bestie. And trying to put that much energy into that many people will drain you.
*stops scrolling on Tumblr and puts phone down*
Brain: hey remember that super embarrassing thing you said to that barista that one time? I think it went something like-
*picks up phone again*
House? Empty.
Schedule? Clear.
Games? Installed.
Executive? Dysfunction.
Currently? Staring at the floor.
aw dangit
What happened for paying for what you break? Every time a book breaks my heart I'm the one that pays for it. Literally. Time. Tears. Focus. Money. WTF is this.

I have nowhere else to put this
Writing this is contradictory to what I’ve been trying to do. I really don’t want to be that person that’s always miserable, I really don’t. It’s exhausting to be around and I’m really only proving people right with this but oh well. I have nowhere else to put this. I can’t talk to anyone without immense guilt and I can’t journal because every time I do it makes me worse after idk.
I wish it was easier to talk about dark thoughts, I can’t talk about it with friends because I’ll worry them, and I’ve done enough damage as it is. it seems if I mention this to a therapist it’ll get taken too seriously and I’ll be labelled a danger to myself which I suppose is true but I’m too much of a coward to do anything permanent or anything at all really so all I do is sit. I’m really tired.
My mental health has always been the butt of jokes and stuff “oh here em goes again” I don’t want to be the miserable person and it seems I’ve always been the person that burden people constantly. I don’t know how many “I’m sorry for replying late”messages I have left in me and I’ve already burned too many bridges to come back to the other side. Is it self pity that’s making me write this who knows it seems like all I do is attention-seeking, i cut ties trying to do the opposite but either way it seems like I’m a child throwing a temper tantrum and sulking.
I try to remember smth my bsf said a while back smth like you’re not asking for much you’re just a normal person whose needs aren’t being met which I guess can be true but no amount of reassurance or anything of those needs being met will ever help if I constantly think people are indifferent to me or that I don’t mean that much to them in comparison to what they mean to me. I mean how can you help someone who no matter how much improvement they make they fall back into old thoughts again? I don’t think it’s fair for me to put that on anyone, it’s exhausting and for what? A friendship with someone who can’t show up? Any relationship goes both ways and I fail every time.
I care too much to subject people to this bullshit and in turn I cut ties. Exhausting to be on the other end and so whatever I do I hurt people anyway. I’m really fucking lonely but have no right to complain if I created the situation in the first place. Even now all I’m doing is yapping, making no sense and pitying myself. I cannot live like this anymore. I think most people wouldn’t notice if I was gone. I know it’ll get better at some point, I know life is just ups and downs but the downs have been more persistent lately.
hey does anyone else ever think about them
The pure joy I have when I receive a message from someone only to be in pure dismay when it’s a fcking pp bot
Hergé actually considered, even briefly, making his first name "Paul" girls weep
Ever since a few people told me Captain Haddock vaguely resembles 1970s Paul McCartney I’ve been losing my mind

psst, tumblr just quietly rolled out collaboration with ai training models, and it's opt-out, not opt-in, go into your blog settings to fix it [on desktop, anyway, dunno where you'd look on mobile] keep fighting the good fight <3
I don't see an option for it now, so it may not have rolled out for everyone yet? Unless I'm just missing where it is
