This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.
If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.

your life is not an optimization problem
what will it be, boss? the comfort of misery or the pain of change?
a quick “why is my life so bad” checklist
how’s your sleep schedule
have you eaten or drank anything besides sugar and caffeine
how long have you been sitting in one spot
have you gone out in public recently
have you taken a shower/brushed your teeth/groomed yourself properly
have you spent time doing an activity that doesn’t involve a screen
etc
Hey I challenge you, if you’ve been struggling with something physical, trouble at work, relationship complications etc, give yourself the night off. I’ve titled myself your friendly manager and this is your approved time off. You have the night to not think of or acknowledge those things. Just be you, be at peace, get some rest, eat some food. Have a night for just you and your thoughts
I know so much of the pre-election messaging is like VOTE!!! VOTE!!! IF YOU DON’T VOTE YOU’RE A MONSTER!! and that can get tiring after so many elections. So I want to take a moment after this election to say: so many of you clearly did get out and vote, despite not always having the most inspiring options, and with SO much on the line 18-29 year olds specifically helped win some of the most important and impactful races across America. So from one of the many “just vote” scolds on the internet: thank you!!
This is going to fucking suck but I will not do my enemies’ work for them. I will not just roll over and fucking die.
Chai tea bag + lil but of brown sugar + apple cider packet + 16 oz. mug of hot but not quite boiling water
it will not Fix You but like. maybe. maybe.
Yes, I've posted this before. It is super-relevant now.
If you are able to become pregnant, YOU HAVE NO SAY over what happens if you do. You have no right to make your own decisions about your own life and your own body.
YOU HAVE LESS BODILY AUTONOMY THAN A CORPSE.
Think about that.
