you’re not bad with money you’re just living in a society that underpays you, overcharges you, then gaslights you into feeling guilty for needing to eat
It’s so fucked up that someone who works 8 hours per day should feel guilty for spending / can’t afford to spend 10$ that day on a drink and snack
the line between doing some things as self care vs doing them as depressive apathy is soooo fine, like oh do i wanna sleep all day because i’m tired and i need it or because i’m depressed and trying to escape? same with not going out, canceling plans, isolating yourself, like, ANYTHING comfortable in even a little excess is liable to be one or the other… the line is thin and im a tightrope walker who just joined the circus to get away from the family farm and ive never walked a tightrope before and i am lying in the hay on the ground.
Me, who’s watching Fruits Basket for the first time and absolutely heartbroken by the last episode, seeing the original anime/manga fans saying it just gets more and more depressive:
age gaps aren’t inherently bad between adults, but they are incredibly suspect in instances where one party has significantly more agency and experience due to their age. a thirty year old dating a forty year old, for instance, isn’t all that big a deal. but an eighteen year old should be VERY suspicious of a thirty year old wanting to get with them. they’ve had twelve years to establish themselves as an adult. an eighteen year old has had maybe a few months to do so.
i’m saying this as a person who briefly dated a thirty year old at age 19 (it wasn’t good lol), and also as a person with happily married parents who have a 12 year age gap. the difference is that my mom was in her thirties when she met my dad; she’d had plenty of time to find a career and a name for herself in the world.
stay safe, love urself, try to make good decisions but don’t beat yourself up if you’ve ever been the victim of an unbalanced or abusive relationship
I need yall to understand that healthy 30 year olds look at 19-year-olds and see kids. Not in a demeaning way – but in a way that automatically removes that 19-year-old from romantic consideration. And even if you “look very mature for your age,” a healthy 30 year old will learn you are 19 and back out of that crush at 90 mph no matter how good your contour game is.
orange juice is the superior beverage bc it makes ur tongue feel like u ate a bunch of ants which reminds me of my childhood when I would put ants in my mouth and eat em except this time it tastes good too

Everyone In my family is allergic to apples and when I was younger I used to think I was the only one who wasn’t. I would eat apples and my gums would tingle but I thought nothing of it until one day I told my mom and she was like “what the fuck you could’ve died”. I used to have allergic reactions apples with proof that I was having them and I didn’t even realize.
are you ever scrolling through tumblr and you have a thought and immediately lose it so you have to scroll back up to give your brain the conditions under which it originally created the thought so you can bring it back
it feels like i’m getting really old because this is how my memory works a lot of the time now. i think of something, forget it within 10 seconds, and have to literally backtrack whatever i’m doing to 10 seconds go so i can recreate the conditions and remember it
