the point is to be kind. to be present. to show your love, always, however you can. in big ways and small. to be there when you don’t really understand or relate. it matters so much. it’s the whole point. that’s something liam knew, i think. and i know he’d like us to try our best to live it. ❤️‍🩹

so, yes. it’s a day of horrible, tragic loss. it’s a day of sadness and grief. but it is also a day that i am forcing myself to remember the kindness i was shown, as well. the love i felt. i was at my absolute lowest even before the 16th last year. i don’t know where i’d be now without these people.

tomorrow will be the anniversary of a third friend reaching out to me after a year or so without speaking, and listening to 1d with me all day, because even though it wasn’t when we knew each other, there was a time when we both loved them.

eli🍏 @prone2overthinking.bsky.social · 1d

and it’s the anniversary of a different friend, despite her own unrelated, personal grief, helping me through the news. sitting on call with me and singing one direction, despite her having to have the lyrics up on her phone bc she really never listened to 1d.

eli🍏 @prone2overthinking.bsky.social · 1d

today is the one year anniversary of the day that same friend messaged me, asking if i’d seen the news. “please don’t let this be the one 1d thing i know before you” she said.

eli🍏 @prone2overthinking.bsky.social · 1d

a few days ago was the one year anniversary of the day i started telling one of my friends about one direction. she really didn’t know much about them, but she’s one of the best people i know and so was kind when i began rambling about them, and then got genuinely interested in the boys…

i’d like to elaborate that this would be fine if i didn’t already have a bunch of craft hobbies that break my bank & posture however i DO so

eli🍏 @prone2overthinking.bsky.social · 1d

thank you ❤️‍🩹 same to you

eli🍏 @prone2overthinking.bsky.social · 1d

yeah i lost my mind when i heard they were starting that. it’s so funny how people think these things are a good idea when most of us think “oh yeah, that’ll go well” immediately. like what is going on with the decision making here????

yeah “entry level” has lost all meaning it’s the most annoying thing

eli🍏 @prone2overthinking.bsky.social · 1d

yeah a friend told me that when i was crying to her about being rejected in less than 24 hours from a retail job that a 16 year old could get lmao it’s ridiculous

eli🍏 @prone2overthinking.bsky.social · 1d

biggest mood. i send out a few apps a week but obviously get absolutely nothing back except for the occasional automatic rejection 🙃

the fact that every time i try to sign up for a JOB SEARCH website it wants me to PAY to see the listings. are you really fucking kidding me????? that’s a level of fucked up i can’t even put into words.

yeah it’s really the worst. for someone so proud of being the smartest person in the room, you’d think he’d be able to see all the bad.

thank you 🫂

eli🍏 @prone2overthinking.bsky.social · 1d

yeah mine is similar but he also takes such pride in being smart? i think his issue is that he thinks ai is a thing smart people use? like it’s the “work smarter” way. and his son is similar but far lazier and will take any shortcut so ofc he loves ai. & ofc i can’t say anything bc they don’t care.

it’s so frustrating. he just said that to me as if it was a normal and sane thing to do and all i could think was “you’re supposed to be the smart one”.

thank you

Thought I’d share this ❤️

"Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go." -Jamie Anderson

i hate that people are relying on this technology for important information. i hate that even people who are logically smart are being lured into it. i hate that he’s the one that’s there with her. i hate everything.
