Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

LIKE A FOX THAT CHEWED OFF ITS OWN LEG TO ESCAPE A BEAR TRAP SHE SURVIVED THE IMPOSSIBLE AND ALL ANYONE SEES IS THE LIMP

the mind is uncomfortable and the body she is also uncomfortable

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

You can lie when you name things

when a car that's busted up doesn't use their turn signal. did you learn anything

there is nothing wrong with being insane there is nothing wrong with being crazy there is nothing wrong with being delusional or psychotic or narcissistic or antisocial or biopolar. those are just the lies our sanist world has decided to perpetuate. it is not a moral failing to be mentally ill.

being 24 is really not It.
