told my cousin I make art for a living and she legit asked me if she too could make some easy cash on the side online

i posted this to complain and rant, as is my right to do on my blog. what makes you think they wanna grow?? they want easy money and think making art is the way to do that. and it's not and that's not what they wanted to hear, they just thought I'm gatekeeping the secret to free cash lol

this is actually hilarious if you've seen op's art it's FANTASTIC but suuure it would totally be sooo easy to get THAT good at something to just make some money lol just quickly spend years of your life to get to that level sure why not 👍

Reblogging things I like feels a lot more goblinesque than upvoting ever did. The upvotes felt like "hmm yes, I approve *golf claps*" while reblogging feels like furtively staring at something before shoving it in your mouth and scurrying back underneath the nearest piece of furniture.

Which isn't to say that I don't like it. But I definitely find myself going "maybe I shouldn't reblog this because I've already reblogged a bunch of things today and I don't want to look like I don't have a life," I say as I close the app and reopen it like one of those little automatic box toys with the switches.

chronic pain is weird because sometimes in your head you’re like AAAAAAAAAHH!!!! AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAhhh!!!! but in actuality you are just sitting there staring impassively at your phone

How do people keep track of what they read?

I use goodreads religiously

I jot it down in a note/in a journal

I use a reading journal!

I make a mark in the book when finished

More than one!

Other(put in the comments!)/I don’t keep track of what I read

I used goodreads but I'm switching to storygraph now! and I also write it down in my bullet journal I like tracking what I read/watch/listen to so if there wasn't a website for it I'd still be writing it down it's fun and also my brain feels like it's necessary so 🤷 polls

My mother does this to me 24/7. It’s so fucking exhausting.

my husband does this constantly he doesn't notice it. he doesn't do it on purpose I've started saying 'would you disagree with this if your dad had said it?' and I think that works pretty well especially because his dad does this a million times worse than him. he also does it when (younger) men say something tho definitely not as much. but when it's a woman basically EVERYTHING you say is wrong. they both do this even when they don't know shit about the topic!! like if it's about something that I know well or if it's something I want to do so I've spent time thinking about it or whatever. and they'll just disagree with me even though they don't know anything about it recently I told my husband a DIY thing I want to do. I've thought about it and figured out a way that should definitely work. and I tell him that I want to do that but before I can explain how or any details he just says he thinks that won't work I got so angry. I said I will not talk to him if he talks to me like that (his tone was completely dismissive as if the idea was ridiculous) he doesn't own a single tool. he's never done anything like this. I did all the DIY stuff in our old apartment and now after we moved into the new one. and I'm the one who actually knows what I'm planning to do with this. but still he automatically disagreed and dismissed my idea without even listening first (I left the room. I'm not arguing over this stuff anymore. I just tell him that's what he did and leave so he has time to think about it.) (he did understand that was wrong then. and I know he doesn't do it on purpose. but it still makes me feel like shit every time)

And the most important thing to remember is that you have time. Time to discover new people and new projects and new places; time to heal from your past and your wounds. You might feel like you’re getting nothing done and nothing is happening, but you have time to discover your soul. It will happen for you <3

apparently it's 500. 1000. and 10000 now it's fascinating how all social media platforms are actively hostile to their users now they all seem to be trying very hard to destroy themselves

i need to get more masc so i can present feminine

I have about… 7-8 months to get my bachelor thesis done (then the course I’m doing will stop existing). I don’t know why this is so fucking hard for me. I just need to do it.

I’ve got my brother helping me now (by sitting down with me regularly to check if I’ve done the things I was supposed to) but it still feels so overwhelming. The worst part is that I haven’t talked to my advisor in (I think) two years…. It’s so embarrassing. I’m really scared of his reaction when I do send him an e-mail. He could say he won’t be my advisor anymore (that would be very understandable). I don’t know. It’s scary and I don’t feel like I can do this at all.

I'm starting to think about the possibility that I might not get it done... that would mean I would have spent nine years without even getting a degree in the end that's... not great I just want to get this done but it's like there's a huge barrier in my brain that makes it impossible to seriously think about it at all I feel so stupid. like. I can't do stuff like this anymore. I used to be smart and now I can't fucking think at all personal

We’re going to a funeral tomorrow (my husband’s grandma that he wasn’t close to and I only met once) and I’m really anxious about it (which feels shitty because it’s not my relative that died, it’s not about me in any way. if I could just turn my anxiety off I would 😔)

he's totally fine and here I am unable to sleep because the social rules of a funeral are too difficult I've never been to a Catholic funeral before so at least that should be interesting but that also makes it even scarier well at least I've got my emergency meds now in case it somehow goes really badly and we've already discussed the option of me leaving right after the funeral itself if I feel like I need to so I've got two options if I need them and that will probably help the absolute worst scenario would be if I can't go. I started feeling sick today because of how anxious it's making me and that worries me I don't want to not go to this funeral with him. that would be so heartless. I need to support him but I'm just so fucking useless 😭 funerals are so hard I haven't been to one since my dad's and that makes it even scarier personal cw death
