So much regret.

I've been thinking about this for a while. I look at the clock and feel the time slipping between my fingers. Seconds turn to hours, hours to days, days to years. I felt like if I wasn't spending that time being productive, then I was WASTING IT.

I didn't allow myself to have a that young adult life experience in my twenties. I didn't date because I told myself, I'm too behind and needed to catch up or have something to be "worthy" whatever the fuck that meant. I didn't have a job I liked back then (i still have that job btw). I simply wasn't happy and believed getting a GOOD JOB would make me happy. Why? because I'd finally have money and then feel worthy. Weird right?

Point is...I didn't really live because I felt like my work life defined me. I put it on the highest of pedestals. I was using my time mentally beating myself up than using that time to live a life full of rich experiences and having fun.

I know that now. I can get money back, clothes back, and etc. But I will never get that time back. I don't do the things I did before. I am a little more relaxed. I still waste time, but now I waste it scrolling and that is another issue I will address privately! lol

Don't get me wrong, I have changed much...very little. I don't have a strong will and change is not easy. I'm don't feel like I'm using my time "live life," like I want to (there are nuances there too). But I am trying. I'm trying to 180 my life. Making friends (which is hard as an adult 😭;especially when you live outside the city and in the suburbs), going out more—to the theater/theatre, restaurants/food trucks (now that gas is $4/gal that's gonna have to reduce/stop) . Honestly, maybe it's time to move to a city like NY/Paris/Toronto/etc with good public transportation, so that I can live the life I want...IDK. We'll see.

Until that day comes (if it does), know that I am trying little by little to enjoy the time I have and just chill

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

tumblr user 2: actually you can drink whatever you want all the time

tumblr user 3: yee and water is icky :(

tumblr user 4: I literally can't drink plain water as I'll instantly start throwing up, some people's bodies simply can't process it, you can't make blanket statements about what's good or not good for someone else's digestive system
