💘🍛 I like both of these. What's most important to your oc (of choice but I'm thinking of Maggie), and what their usual dinner looks like <3

Hiiiiiiiii <3

💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?

Maggie has sooo few people she's close with BUT the people she IS close with she is VERY close with, the three main ones would be her brother, Hawke, her Girl Best Friend (come to your own conclusions on this one, they'll never have an actual discussion about it), Jenna, and one of the ghosts that hangs around her, Opal. Hawke she was always fairly close with as a kid, while he never actually believed her when she would talk about the ghosts and their various shenanigans, he was always one of her strongest and most reliable supporters, and would claim to believe her. She knows now that he never actually believed her (She figured that out as a preteen), but she definitely appreciates the fact he was still always there for her and standing up for her when she'd get talked over by others. When she wakes back up after her murder, finding where he lives is one of her first priorities, because she's basically having like a million crises at once and figures he's the person she trusts must to be able to help her.

Paragraph break because I'm going on longer than anticipated WHOOPS. For Jenna, she's close with her for several reasons. The first part is... honestly just a bit of necessity. Maggie's lost and scared and has no idea what's going on, and Jenna's the first person to approach her and is someone willing to try and help her figure out what's going on, during a situation where anyone else would've just forced her to go to a hospital (Which... to be fair Jenna definitely should've suggested they go to some sort of medical help, given that she was passed out in the middle of a field and wakes up talking about being murdered). Outside of necessity, however, she and Jenna just like... basically instantly latch onto each other. They're frankly both a bit obsessive with each other because they both... really don't have anyone else? Once the plot ends and their lives calm down they'll get some other friends and their dynamic will become more sustainable longterm, but in the moment they've only got each other and GODDAMN do they have each other. Jenna's like 90% of the reason Maggie wants to actually take care of herself, because if she's not doing it, Jenna just does it for her, and she doesn't like feeling like a burden, even if Jenna's doing it willingly and without viewing as such. Their bond is so largely based on their willingness to support each other, so. yknow <3

For Opal, she's known Maggie since she was only a few months old! Ghosts took notice of Maggie's ability to see them LONG before Maggie would be learn this was Not normal, AKA, as a several month old baby, she'd track ghosts with her eyes and try and interact with them like any other person, which alerted the ghosts to the fact she could actually see them. This made her essentially a bit of a celebrity/VERY weird and kinda creepy to the ghosts, so word of the Magic Baby Who Can See Dead People spread, and tons of local ghosts would hang around just to see her themselves. Opal ALSO heard of her, and she just generally loves kids, so she went to go see baby Maggie, only to realize that oh man. This is going to be. a tough life for this kid. So she takes it upon herself to watch over her, and chases away other ghosts who bother her so that Maggie doesn't have to spend her entire life being harassed by ghosts. Their dynamic is a bit weird throughout Maggie's life, as Opal tends to be a bit overbearing, and also tends to talk over the living people Maggie's trying to talk/listen to, making it difficult for her to concentrate, but as frustrating as Maggie finds her to be, they still are very close, Opal's someone Maggie can be actually open with, and someone who is always trying to look out for her and protect her any way she can. Their dynamic gets WAY more strained after Maggie's death but this is already a VERY long ramble and that would involve a LOT more so I'll save that for another day

🍛 CURRY AND RICE — what does your oc's typical dinner look like? do they usually eat dinner?

Bad it looks bad.

Okay the actual answer is more nuanced <3 Prior to her murder, Maggie was still living at home (She was only 17 and had JUST graduated highschool, graduating a year early), so her typical dinner was just... whatever her mom made! Nothing too fancy, just pretty generic dinner items. Maggie's never really had much of an appetite, but also stayed up extremely late every night, so typically it'd be eating like half the normal portion of whatever dinner was -> stay up until 2am -> Get hungry and finish off the other half of dinner -> stay up until [god knows how late]. Her favorite meal is probably stew, though while she is an extremely picky eater, of the foods she's okay with she doesn't tend to have really any standout favorites.

Once she wakes back up after her murder and has to care for herself, her dinner is... crackers. As mentioned, she's an extremely picky eater, but she also has no skill in cooking and is also just deeply depressed, so she can't really give the effort to care about it enough to want to eat properly, so she just. doesn't! However, once Jenna starts hanging around more, specifically hanging around for long enough stretches of time to see Maggie's abysmal self care and eating habits, THEN Maggie's typical dinner stops being "crackers" and starts being whatever Jenna makes her. This is typically things like easier to prepare meals like mac n cheese, but Jenna always adds things to them that aren't included to make them nicer, so it's always more than just "box of kraft mac n cheese", its got some added vegetables and meat added in there to make it better!

Once Maggie actually starts trying to learn how to cook herself, her typical dinner consists of one single bite of whatever she tried and promptly failed to make, and then a plate of Whatever Jenna Made Instead. She's trying her best but oh boy. its not great.

#IM SORRY I WENT ON SO LONG. #also Maggie's favorite meal AFTER the plot is probably a nice salad #low effort + REALLY hard for her to fuck up + tastes good #as for Maggies dynamic with Opal post-murder... its. its something. its bad </3 #The start of Maggie's full blown breakdown is literally her snapping and tearing into Opal and essentially blaming her for her murder #This is. bad. Opal has already felt INSANELY guilty all of this time- she would leave Maggie alone at night- #-to try and help with Maggies insomnia by not keeping her up #-so she ABSOLUTELY feels responsible in part for Maggie's murder- that she could've been there and she could've warned Maggie- #-about the intruder. But like. It's not her fault. How could she have known? Maggie knows its not her fault #but she's extremely freaked out at that point and is having an intense breakdown and is lashing out at Opal because she just needs SOMEONE- #-to blame. She's dying and she doesnt know why and she needs to find someone to blame for it #anyways maggie please apologize to your ghost mom. (she does. she also gets to- for the first and only time- physically hold her hand) #(ghosts can physically interact with each other- and Maggies growing wounds are essentially her soul physically splitting- #-so its essentially this bittersweet moment of like. for the first time- shes able to reach out and hold Opals hand. #and its only because shes dying) #BUT THEN SHE DOESNT DIE. VITALLY IMPORTANT #my OCs #maggie

Re: Chapter 29 of The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins: Seven sins, seven family members omg! I didn't see it coming even though it was kind of there in plain sight.

What happened to Sota must be key to understanding the car accident. My theory is that he died around 2 years before the accident. The manga keeps flashing back to a point 2 years in the past and I think this is around the time that Tsubasa suddenly stopped playing football and started withdrawing from Nakajima. I would have to reread some earlier chapters but I did get the sense that in some of the >>2 year pre-accident flashbacks that there was another person who was purposely not shown (Sota) but not in the ~2-years pre-accident flashbacks. Other flashbacks to this time period always show everyone being miserable: it lines up with Minako finding out about Kakeru's affair, and I think also shows Shiori withdrawn and glued to her phone. There's also a moment when Tsubasa asks if they can visit the planetarium next year and Minako snaps "there's no way we can go", which I initially attributed to the affair fallout, but it also makes sense if she didn't want to revisit a place the family went with (recently deceased) Sota. Sota dying around that time might also explain why Shiori started seeking out older men, perhaps trying to find something of her older brother in that guy.

I think all the photos in the album were taken by Sota, which means that Sota has been to Fukui too. Now maybe (and this is a bit of a reach) that trip was 2 years before the accident and that's when/where he died and this caused the rest of the family fall to pieces. As Tsubasa's flashbacks to the (2nd) trip to Fukui (car accident) include everyone getting drugged from the drinks brought by Kakeru/drugged by Minako, and Minako said "[Tsubasa] will never need to listen to [her] ever again" .. I think that the car accident Fukui trip was intended as a group suicide caused by the family's 2-year festering pain over Sota's death. That's why Tsubasa learning the truth behind the car accident will change everything.

But that seems waaaay too dark for a WSJ manga so idk! Maybe all the focus on stuff going wrong 2 years before the accident has nothing to do with Sota and he was there during the car accident, (maybe died during that accident). This manga already showed many times that things aren't always as they seem so maybe I'm completely wrong here and the truth is much less dark.

#the ichinose family's deadly sins #the ichinose family's deadly sins spoilers #this manga being so low in the toc is making me nervous because i really hope it isn't cancelled before the mystery is properly resolved #i mean i do think the story is close to the end but i hope it isn't culled before it reaches that point #mmnmmq.txt

Hey guys. Look, I don't like making these sort of posts but I'm going to have to, considering the recent influx of new followers. Could you guys please, please read my rules before sending in a request. It's the first post pinned to my page. It is shitting me to tears because I can tell when some people obviously do not read it and I'm going to have to ignore some requests because it is starting to piss me off just how many people are blatantly not even bothering to read through a post designed to help you with what I will and won't write.

#sorry if this post sounded passive aggressive #but #guys i'm gonna be honest #i'm not a content machine #please stop treating me like a doormat #what happened to people even using basic manners when requesting anymore #this is obviously not directed at the sweet anons who follow my rules #this is for the ones i know don't even bother and just go straight to my inbox and basically demand #i'm at a really fucking low point and i am so close to quitting #i'm not joking #i adore the sweet people who actually care about my writing #but this has been a problem for years and i'm reaching my limit

He’s gonna be the fucking death of me first killing the joke and now silverscreen 😭😭😭

Indie rock icon, last shadow Puppets star and one of Merseyside’s most notable musical exports, Miles Kane, returned this year with his fifth album ‘One man Band’. Following on from his last two records which are packed with Glam stompers, the new album saw him dive back into the punchy Indie sound that first earned him waves of fans. We spoke with Miles about how his songwriting, style and sound have evolved over the years…

Q. You’ve had a productive spell recently releasing two albums in two years, have you enjoyed focusing on you solo work?

A. “Yeah, I think especially on this record. I just love making tunes, you know? I think on this one, it was great working with our James, my cousin from the Coral and Alfie Skelly too. Also, not having that pressure of a major label and just being fully in control of what I want to do. There’s always a plan and an expectation but I think I’ve really taken control of the ship on this album. I think I just got in a zone. It wasn’t a/masked but the quality of songs came quite quick, which doesn’t always happen.”

Q. How important to you is your visual identity as an artist?

A. “It’s always been massively important with me, whether it’s super stylized suits or glam rock makeup. There’s many sides to my sort of style, but on the new album I’ve just been feeling the more casual side both in life and in music. I just wanted it to be not super posed and sexy, I wanted it to feel more natural.”

Q. What drove you to write the track ‘Baggio’

A. “Im obsessed with Italian shirts and always have been as a kid. So I think it was a story about that childhood and my intriguement/ obsession with Italian football. It’s more of a song about childhood, reminiscing and remembering these specific little things. For me, it was World Cup 94, watching Italy and seeing Baggio. You could have said Oasis or something like that but Baggio’s a bit cooler and I think people around me like James and Alfie were like ‘Oh, this is so you’ because obviously they know me and I think that’s why it connected. I think at first some people were like, ‘ what are you on about there?’ but it’s these kinds of songs that I’m glad I stuck to my guts on.”

Q. Was it fun to explore the retro football style too with the single ‘Baggio’?

A. “Yeah, I love all that. I love all the old footy shirts because I think it sort of takes me back to a weird comfort memory of being a kid and I think a lot of those old footy shirts are super chic. The photo of me in the Baggio shirt wasn’t like a set up photo shoot. Chaz who plays bass was bringing his camera in and took that. I guess it was more candid and summed up the album better for me than trying to look cool or giving it the big one.”

Q. Are there any other celebrity icons or physical anchors you use to inspire your songwriting?

A. “Yeah, loads man. Rocky… fucking Al Pacino. There’s loads of wrestlers that I’ve taken inspiration from. I get very inspired by stuff like that, whether it be a jacket or it’s a bit of makeup or whatever, I’m quite obsessed. I get the mood of something I’m into and it’ll inspire me to do my version of that feeling. It sounds quite mad to explain it, but for me, that just works”.

Q. You’ve written songs on Merseyside, in London, America, at home or on tour… does your environment impact the kind of songs you’re writing?

A. “I’d say it’s more about where you’re at in your head you know. A lot of the songs on the new album were written up north and a lot was written on my couch in London where I am now. If I wanted to go and make a reggae album in Jamaica maybe that would have a big effect on it haha but, for me, I think it’s more about where I’m at in my mind.”

Q. How has Merseyside impacted you as a musician and as a person?

A. “Where you’re from is who you are, isn’t it, it’s everything. I’ve learned from all those Merseyside bands, The Coral, The Zutons, The Bunnymen, Teardrops, The Beatles. I saw them and wanted to be like them guys, you know? It was just engraved in me. I probably wouldn’t be sat here talking to you without them.”

Q. Which is your favorite track to play live off the new record?

A. “I could play this whole album live to be honest! I think ‘Never taking me alive’ is my favorite track ever to play to be honest. It’s kind of my new ‘Inhaler’ or ‘Come closer’, it’s got that big old riff and the big energy. I love that side of my tunes. Making this album I really fell in love with playing guitar again. I really want the guitar to be at the front just as much as the words are. I’ve really embraced that side of myself. Again, it’s simpler and I think that suits me. I like those other sides of me, don’t get me wrong but give me a riff and some lyrics and that’ll do me mate.”

ohh i have good friends

#marzi speaks #was gonna go get dinner with my brother and a friend tonight #they weren’t able to respond for a few hours so i assumed plans fell through and went forward with that mindset #then they and my brother were able to decide on smth last minute #i am. low spoons socially rn #and i was struggling to decide whether i should go or not #friend gets here. they talk with me about it #i’m getting frustrated bc i can’t form the words i wanna form #i want to spend time with them but i have all this shit to do and god i’m tired but i want to hang out with my friends #i cry a bit. they hug me and encourage me #eventually i (through a tight throat) go ‘i think i need to sit this one out’ bc i’m at a point of distress where it just won’t be fun #and they hug me again go ‘no worries there’s always next time’ and head out with my brother #that’s a good fucking friend. they wanted to spend time with me and when i recognized a limit i had reached they respected it #anyways. i need to cry a bit. give myself a distraction. maybe a meal of some kind #and then i can get back to work. but they were really sweet and i wanna make sure i internalize that i’m cared about

[swordmaid]

i like to think that shri’iia and astarion actually spent a lot of time together at night when the others are asleep bc elves don’t need to sleep. a trance lasts for like 4 hrs I think and I don’t think astarion spends the whole night hunting so they have a lot of time to kill while they wait for the others to get up. at first I don’t think they’d interact a lot - maybe some conversations here and there but they’ll just spend a lot of time doing their own thing. once they get to know each other, and they’re more familiar (post vampire reveal) I think they’d be interacting more and more. maybe they’d talk about what happened that day or bring up a random thought they had, some mindless conversation to humour them throughout the night. then when they actually know each other (I’m thinking post oathbreaking/shri’iia telling the truth about herself) is when they get comfortable to talk and share about the more personal stuff. I love the idea of their relationship progressing through the simple quiet convos tho … just the realisation that they actually like to be in each other’s company… since their romance was built on deceit, the idea of it being nurtured and changing into something more genuine bc they just hang out a lot and they liked each other’s company is just so weirdly sweet to me lmfao. I also like the idea that they both didn’t expect to fall for each other. like just imagining shri’iia making some poisons for him one night and she realises she’s actually kind of into this fucking guy she’s like oh god… oh fuck 🧍‍♀️😳

#clown to clown romance to ME ‼️‼️‼️‼️😭 #and shri’iia only slept with him bc she wanted a distraction lmfao #like it was after the tiefling party too where I imagined she was trying to get hella drunk bc her oath is broken #part of her soul is missing/her chest feels so hollow so she wants something to distract her from knowing she fucked up BIG time ‼️‼️ #so when this person who is kind of ok and you see eye to eye with comes up and goes like wanna fuck she’s like sure why not #like she’s already reached a low point in her life 😭 might as well #but I really like the idea that they both didn’t expect this romance LMFAO they both got bamboozled big time #like it’s just kind of sweet to me … so when they go off and do the romantic stuff I just get a big giggle bc im like #remember when y’all were just using each other 🤭🤭🤭 #shut up about bg3.

[todayisafridaynight]

Oh yeah also to be exact for stream purposes, average playtime from all 60 reviews is 10-12 hours, but total range is 8-15, double for a 100% playthrough. You do have to progress in the side content to progress in the main story (complete x missions/get x points/get to x rank type of deal), and you'll probably want to progress in the side content to level up since it's money-based and that's the fastest way to make money. I'm pretty sure the variance comes from getting sucked into the side content (probably not likely for your playstyle) or having trouble with the bosses at a lower level (they're apparently pretty hard this time).

It also looks like the Infinite Wealth demo is split into two (an adventure mode with the extra cutscenes and another one that's basically the demo we've seen around). Adventure mode Allegedly doesn't have proper saves at the time of writing (this was an annoyance for one reviewer so I assume it's long enough to warrant that), so it's worth taking that into account too. Anyway that's about it lol don't quote me on any of this because my brain just shut off after a certain point <3

OK BET TYSM CHAMP YOURE A LIFESAVER soooooo doing Quick Maths in my brain i might divide the stream up in two if i start playing at 4:30PM and i plan to marathon it.

ill take a break 3:45 - 5:45 saturday morning since that's a part of my regular routine and ill feel weird if i dip on it. I Dont Need Sleep but god forbid i skip out on all That apparently. plus it's a good break period to get exercise in and move around LMAO

going from 4:30PM -> 3:45AM's like.....10~11 hours... so that's about halfway through the game if i get entranced by side content... if we do somehow finish it all in one shot then we can just do the IW stuff after my routine.. epic.. it prob wont be any longer than an hour if that so stream- AUSPICIOUSLY THINKING- should wrap up around 7~9AM saturday.

#snap chats #and then when its all done ill take the longest nap of my life afterwards LMAOOOOO #jk. ill prob sleep for like. a minute. imagine if i did art stream later LMAOOO NONONO maybe sunday.. if im really ill bout it.. #some are wondering Snap Are You Physically Capable Of Doing Thaat and to that i say Yes. Yes I Am. #i didnt grind out buzzsaw mill raids on gaiaonline over night for nothing.. im a Gamer in my soul... a bad one but a gamer nonetheless.. #i did it for ishin i can def do it for gaiden- esp if theres an audience and i have people to chat with #also the Break Time will be a great cut off point for recording so people who can't/don't want to show up for the stream can watch it #see it's all going according to plan..... it's all going swimmingly..... #i like how generous im being with my gaiden time. girl we know im gonna suck and take longer LMAOOO WE AINT DOIN IT IN 8 HOURS #maybe ill 100% gaiden off stream or somn if the side stuff really ropes me in #also im late as balls answering this OOPS my friends came by the dining hall and we all chatted. and apparently im going to aldis tomorrow #DONT KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED but i needed something from the store #just one thing thats it.... i thought of buying snacks and the sort for gaiden but i aint gon subject people t me eating on stream #ill just go with my wack meal prep idea from before LMAO #anyway SIXTY REVIEWS THATS HEINOUS godspeed brother... thank you for your hard word ill do my best to make your work not go in vain #idk HOW but. i'll try not to be lame and low energy during stream I GUESS THATS ALL I CAN DO #boo about Money Aspect returning BUT ILL BE OPTIMISTIC. i wont let that sour me until i see it #i wonder how long the IW demo will be- what it'll HAVE if people are upset about the lack of saves #again i dont think it'll be terrible long- an hour is my min so id be surprised if it reaches two hours #it'd be epic if i could do all of gaiden before my routine since then i can cleanly divide the stream but we'll see

okay but Kola saving Mills not once but twice … KILLED me

#all the reviews are like …. But what was the point #and it’s like. Love???? Understanding ?????? Basic human compassion??????? #the dinosaurs barely existed and barely registered in a compelling way but why should that matter #lol #no really. when your story is about adam driver trying to take care of and communicate with a little girl #who doesn’t speak the same language as him and is lost and traumatized #and then in doing so is also cared for #like. the movie is about grief! #and that thread is consistent all the way through. they hit all the beats #and when she reaches for his (ridiculously oversized) hand at the end as they leave earth #it’s just like. right. they made it through #anyway it’s about fathers and daughters #(they kind of low-key didn’t need his real daughter tbh. the story would have worked even more stripped down) #(but as Nina correctly pointed out the audience would not have been able to as comfortably interpret the fact that this relationship #was fathers and daughters #also like !!!!! there were so many real moments #like when she ran back to save the struggling baby dinosaur and he was like NO but then came and helped her anyway #and when she made him put the flower in his hair #and when he was about to drown in quicksand or whatever and she finds the tree branch #they were equally matched and beautifully acted #and the dynamic was inherently father and daughter. and not all the easy parts!!!!!! #when she was scared after being dragged all over the place by that evil dinosaur he had to sit there and wait for her #and draw her out with the sound signal and just. Be patient! #and when she was mad about her grief he had to make himself share his #anyway sorry for all the spoilers it was just good #65 #adam driver

Twewy native Pre week 2 neku and kh1 Riku would be the most toxic friend group ever

I had to specify neku as twewy native because in dream drop josh straight up said they all died and that's why they got sent to traverse town. But given his lines it's clear he's at least past peak asshole neku.

Thoughts?

OH YEAH VERY TRUE. but actually I don't even think they'd be friends, if that makes sense. Riku needs someone kind who looks up to him (like Sora and Kairi), and Neku pre-twewy... isn't that. Neku on the other hands needs people he can relate to and who share his worldviews (ex: how he got along with Joshua in week 2 and was able to have many interesting discussions with him despite, yknow, thinking Joshua murdered him). So it wouldn't actually work if there was only the two of them: Riku doesn't share Neku's values of shutting himself from people because he's scared of getting hurt & hurting them. And Neku only looks up to CAT.

#léa replies #it's interesting to think about tho. if somehow they were hanging out... it would honestly not be very good. for anyone. #now you got me thinking about how Riku's low self-esteem can be a parallel to Beat and Shiki but each have a different way to deal with it #Riku's low self-esteem becomes jealousy when he sees someone else hang out with Sora (he puts the blame on others) #a reaction that appears to be similar to Beat who's angry at for example kariya when Rhyme dies #but it's actually just a facade. and he's mostly angry at himself for his incompetence #and Shiki on the other hand gets jealous of Eri but turns that against herself to the point that she tries to erase her own self #so she can reach Eri's supposed perfection #so we have a broad range of reactions to low sefl-esteem #and while Riku's is obviously the most harmful for others (increased by the fact that Maleficient and Ansem SOD took advantage of it) #i don't want to call him toxic for that. he's just a lost kid who doesn't know how to handle change. just like Kairi is. #and that's why they drift apart with Sora trying to chase both of them because he's the only one who is able to handle change. #his issues lie elsewhere. #anyway i could swear i was going somewhere with this but i had dinner in between so i forgor... #maybe something about how yeah Neku was toxic pre-twewy but i don't think Riku was before it all went downhill in kh1 #it's really Maleficient and Ansem's manipulation who made him go the extra mile and hurt others when he only wanted to save Kairi #and yeah i guess making the words fall and trying to kill Sora is pretty toxic at this point lmao #thanks for the ask! #twewy spoilers #twewy #kingdom hearts

i finished playing totk i did every side quest & adventure all the shrines went to all the caves mapped out all of the depths filled out the whole compendium and i can def say that it has beaten out botw as my favorite game ever bc it is literally botw but like 10x better lol. i would lump them in together as number 1 though just to make it easier if i was going to make a list. but anyway i started playing dark souls 2 and here is the thing…..is it easier than dark souls yes i can tell it is for sure bc i died WAY more in dark souls at this stage & i also just defeated the first boss w/o dying lmao. BUT. the fact that your heath bar goes down 5% every time you die is the most insidious game mechanic i have ever seen…..like oh you’re dying a lot? now you’ll die more bc you have less health 😊 esp in a game part of a series as notoriously hard as dark souls…..like it genuinely makes me kind of mad fr that they did that like was it necessary? was it kind?

#michelle speaks #i have a lot of issues w dark souls in that a lot of things abt the game are just to #make it like borderline inaccessible if you aren’t a specific type of player #but the health bar thing in particular is like oh so you truly just do not want anyone to have any fun playing this huh #like it reaches the point where it feels like they did that just to make sure you don’t have fun #bc the thing is that when u play & u keep dying it’s extremely frustrating #plus if you lose your souls and ESP if you lose them multiple times #& once you die enough times & ur on half health you just die even more & get even more frustrated #so it’s just like. idk mean spirited. and it’s like i don’t want to waste all my human effigies so i have to wait until i’m really low #on my health bar to restore it. and then suddenly i have a way easier time bc i have my whole health bar i worked hard to get. hm. #the character creator though……that made my money worth it……i made a character my mom has said has the most hideous face ever 🤩

Today I was listening to a podcast on ADHD and the guy was talking about how all our masking and struggle to emotionally regulate takes away from our energy during the day and like, for the rest of the day I really paid about attention to how much energy I was putting into masking while I was at work and Jesus Christ, it wore me out to the point of frustration. I didn’t realize how much my own work environment completely exacerbated my ADHD and almost never gave me a space for me to relax and take a break when I need to eliminate the stimulation in my brain.

#I’ve been struggling a lot lately #with like #everything #and I’m realizing a lot of it is coming back to the fact that i still don’t have great coping mechanisms for dealing #with my adhd #like it just feels to be the root of everything #and these past few weeks I’ve been really in my own head about it all #I’m finding help #reaching out #but its just a low point with it #sigh
