TRAUMA BLOG

being a zillennial really just be wondering which is better, being present or connected? what’s worth more, an ugly laugh or a pretty picture? if i spend time with my friends and don’t post a story to prove it, did that mean more or less? by what value? is a sensation worth less than its image? how much of my life should i snap, stream, edit, airbrush, enhance? how much of myself should i show? do i do promos? aim for brand deals? join tik tok? sell nudes? is a private self an antique luxury or just an increasingly outdated construct? what’s the worth of a self not shown? 

i wish people were kinder with people who experience delusions. even if they claim to be God or that someone's following them or that the FBI is coming to kill them. just be kind. It's a symtom of psychosis, something they can't control. It doesn't help to make fun of them and treat them terribly. Its either you support ALL mentally ill people or you don't. You don't get to pick and choose because there's "uglier" and "stranger" symptoms

Just because you “function” doesn’t mean you don’t deserve help.

Despite the fact that I occasionally compulsively overshare, people somehow still manage to know nothing about me
