Above me, stars I shall find

The only thing that has ever improved my mental health in any measurable capacity is making more friends. That's literally it

The way isolation plays on your psyche, and the way that a solid support system can improve your life is insane. One of the worst things that we did as a society is removing most avenues to find this kind of thing, and the over reliance on the idea of getting better on your own

'#so here's the thing about the comment on hyperindividualism#self-care and mindfulness are SOLD to you#as part of capitalism#isolation serves a purposes within a specific type of society#so#you receive 'solutions' which are predicated on you being the single point of failure#you can address this with Hard Work and Money the two western panaceas#no one else needs to do anything!#never reach out to lonely people! just force them to do it all themselves#then isolate them for being weird and lonely!'

every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks i’m cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).

I MISS THE HEADPHONE JACK FUCK YOU!!!!!!

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

some people really do need to start reminding themselves that the answer to "why didn't the character just do [something entirely different]" is often simply "because then there wouldn't be a story"

I feel like pirating media that isn’t sold or offered anywhere legally anymore shouldn’t be called piracy. Girl thats archaeology

say what you will about the 90s but there were so so many women on TV with beautiful curly hair. we used to be a proper society

‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs
