Honestly? I’m kinda into it. I love a good fried baloney sandwich, so that’s not that bad.

nothing, beloved. nothing's wrong with you.

In fact, this may be one of the more Sane combinations I've seen ;)

You are equally baffled and amused at the miscommunication happening left and right and ngl, you're more than a little frustrated with Stede. You didn't need the opening of ep10 to confirm that Mary wasn't the Villain, but you also have a lot of sympathy for Stede here - you understand it's a situation where nobody wins. So. Even if you want to smack him over the head sometimes, it's always with love.

You also Notice Things, and every te you spot something it feels like a little treat. You probably have Opinions about Mary's lighthouse paintings,and you really enjoy the visual storytelling, the way framing, colours, cinematography in general is used to tell us things we aren't told with words.

You really wish there were more women on this show.

That sermon sounds amazing-terrible. E and I are cackling

I was told an A- was a sign of “struggling.” Grad school is awesome but also sucks. Don’t let it eat you up.

Does it make sense to try a leave of absence? You can take one for medical reasons (depression and/or anxiety) for a semester or a year and try again once you've regrouped, figured out some coping strategies, etc. Is there anyone at Health Services 

or one of your professors that you can talk to and get help from? (Sorry for the long message, it's just that I've totally been there with overwhelming depression freshman year and I made it out the other end of the tunnel--you can too!)

Be good to yourself. Hang in there. Hugs (if you’re a hugs person).

Thank you. This morning I scheduled an appointment with one of the school counselors for Wednesday afternoon, so I'm going to try to put off worrying about this until then. I got a bit of fresh-air in me and am slightly less panicky now. Slightly.

Protector of the Small got me through college, no joke. Kel’s struggles with fear of heights are really helpful in the dark days.
