shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.
put on clean, comfortable clothes.
put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
So this weekend I found myself chatting with an established comic writer, he asked me about my interest in the matter and I told him I ran a webcomic but before he could even respond I qualified it with;
“Well it’s a fan comic, I’m not a real comic creator.” He was appalled.
“What do you mean you’re not a real comic creator?” He demanded. “Do you have a comic?”
“Well yeah but its a fan comic its not a real-” He literally put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.
“You have a comic. You made a comic. You’re putting in the work. You’re a real comic creator.” He told me about how one of the people he works with on a comic started by writing Mass Effect fanfiction even. I’ve been thinking about that ever since.
I’ve thought about how many times I’ve heard myself and other say things like, “Oh, I’m a writer but I write fanfiction not like real writing.” And thats so bullshit, he was right.
If you write you’re a writer, end of story.
Heh heh hheeehhhh....
Im freaking the fuck out. Nothing new.
So, I present to you, another rant/vent about my life that no one cares about or wants to know.
Right. So basically, im nervous. One of my friends, he walks me home right? Nothing wrong with that except the odd comment from our other friends saying we're dating when we arent and never will. (We will refer to him as J) He's told me he has a crush, and that Im the only one he has told. J has said he will tell me tomorrow when he walks me home. Its only us two from a certain point cause our friends have to part ways to get home.
So you may be wondering, 'asexualcat486, why you freaking out for? Whats wrong with him wanting to tell you about a crush in private with no one else around?' I'll tell you.
Last time a friend (We'll just call him M) told me about a crush and asked for help, M asked me out. Bearing in mind we're friends. And apart of the same friend group. Now, I got nothing wrong with people who date within the friend group. Its just I personally cant. I just cant. It stresses me out. If theres an argument or you break up the friend group is tense debating who they should agree with.
Now more as to why this predicament (also, look at me using big words🥳) I'm in is freaking me out! Ive been told by one of my friends that J has a crush on me. You see why im freaking out now?
And now I'm panicking. I dont want to upset him but I dont like him like that. And being in a relationship with anyone freaks me out and makes me feel awkward, but that could just be me questioning my sexuality and romantic attraction. I dont want to upset J but I dont want to feel awkward around him because we are good friends. I cant bring myself to date someone I see as a good friend incase I ruin our friendship. Although when I dated M and broke up with him, he was very understanding of the fact that I was questioning and understood that I didnt want to ruin our friendship. If anything that made our bon/friendship stronger. We're best friends who hang out regularly, we always forget that we are in fact exes, but it isnt obvious.
I- I just dont know what to do if J does ask me out. Im sure if he does he will understand that Im questioning everything about myself.
To be honest Im probably worrying over nothing. But, I'm going to ask our friends if they've noticed a change in how he acts around anyone or if he has said anything to them regarding a crush.
I'll let y'all know tomorrow what happened if I remember to.
Family quote of the day!
So, me and my mum are watching The Croods 2. Just chilling, having fun and laughing. The dog is laid right next to my seat, right? And she farts. It smells foul. So this is what happened next:
Me: *silently gags*
Me: *covers nose with hoodie*
Mum: *looks over confused and concerned*
Mum: has she just farted?
Me: *too disgusted to speak, nods silently*
Dog: *moves close to my mum*
Mum: remove thou offending arse from my sight!
Dog: *moves*
Cue me and mum bursting into a giggle fit for about 20 minutes and scaring my dad when he comes downstairs.
It was really funny. Do with this situation what you please - just make sure to tag me if you use it.
Dont we just love it when you are not so subtly telling your friends about your shit mental health and how you want to kys but they completely over look it and move on to the next topic in the conversation.
BE GÈ DO CRIMES!!!!!
