how is a little freak like me supposed to make it in this world

i think it is very depressing that like every aesthetic people try to emulate are of people doing things but they themselves are incapable of being somebody that does things… the mall goth 2005 aesthetic revived in 2022 but nobody goes to the mall to be annoying and weird and nobody lets themselves be cringe… the cottagecore aesthetic but nobody knows how to raise gardens or live self sufficiently … the dark academia aesthetic but nobody actually reads books…. The obsession of looking like you are a type of person who does something without actually doing anything … the Instagram effect

on a dark & stormy night, there was a creature . & you’re never going to beleive what it did next

things that are not selfish:

prioritizing your mental health

saying no

calling in sick to work or school (even if you’re not physically sick)

limiting contact with someone when their issues are affecting your happiness negatively

cutting off toxic people

declining help

setting boundaries for yourself

not immediately responding to texts/calls/emails

ending a friendship or relationship even though the other person “hasn’t done anything wrong”

not donating any money

complimenting and being proud of yourself

treating yourself

instead of killing myself i will watch documentary about the ocean
