Trying to remember the last good day I had. A wasted effort! Here, have a meme.

A collage image of a fairy, mushrooms, flowers, and a quote that says “hobbies include sitting on my bedroom floor being absolutely devastated by the fact that I have a physical form.”

Today is my mother’s birthday. She’s not here to celebrate. It’s the year of firsts without her here. And we do the cycle again.

Just lounging in a bed of grass. This gnome needs a name and a fresh paint job.

I’m not sure why the cultists have to live so long. A shame he didn’t kick the bucket way earlier.

I think I’ll talk to internet strangers the rest of the night.

“For part of your trauma healing you should ask for the things you want and if you need help!” … “ok sure!” … does the thing and promptly gets denied and they turn it around to make me believe they really want to help me? But of course I did ask the person I have to co-parent with. First red flag.

Let’s normalize stopping at a stop sign. I don’t know, seems like the right thing to do!

I’m not sure how much more I can take. Any more and it’s a guarantee the universe hates me.

Religion (christianity) took all the things that made us human, i.e. community and traditions and turned it against us for power. Let’s get back to being humans who are part of the animal kingdom (not separate) existing in nature on earth as the universe intended.

Nostalgia may melt away stresses for only a moment, but moments add up and can keep your feet moving forward so you don’t sit down and wallow too long. 🥲

I am not ok. 😞

I’m not seeking anything other than a formal declaration from myself that I’m actually not ok right now.

I’ve always loved dandelions in this state. I just see a bunch of delicate angels ready to drift on to the next destination.
