been almost a year since this time in my life and I can firmly say: who the fuck is this. I think I was maybe just Posting Through It because I was having a very difficult time then and things haven't gotten better

neurodivergence is fun because you kinda have to realize in hindsight "oh wow yeah yesterday was an ADHD day whoops"

I'll check metacritic from time to time but at this point it just feels like we're being fed an endless parade of slop. I've lost so much interest in knowing about basically any movies or shows coming out

this ex also repeatedly argued that Elden Ring is, categorically, a 3d platformer
one time an ex tried to argue that Satisfactory would never reach version 1.0 because of some meta joke about capitalism and production. when I told him that made no sense from a game dev production standpoint he did not care. this was the rigor that he approached most topics with

finally visiting home after about 4 months away and I'm... having a lot of conflicting emotions. everything is fine but almost immediately after getting to the house I was just overwhelmed with the feeling that I don't really think I want to come back here again

if I don't win the lottery tonight it's a government conspiracy against me. if I do win the lottery then god has ordained me to defeat capitalism from within. these are the two outcomes

also thinking about how I feel like I kinda have autism imposter syndrome where I doubt if I'm autistic or don't feel like I'm "autistic enough" for people to care but then I imagined the look my therapist would give me if I told her that and I have been cured of my imposter syndrome

kpop doesn't really capture my interest enough for me to be super into it, which is a shame because sometimes you get shit like this with an absolutely banger sample

I'm still proud of voidfolly.io/stories but I have even more than that, with their own photos too. man I really need to do more with my personal site, I just don't know what
I have literally hundreds of playlists I wish I could share but trying to force music on people feels like one of the most cringe things in existence

it feels kinda corny to say but Tyler the Creator's song Darling, I made me feel so seen. hearing an artist actually talk about struggling with monogamy, with "forever", and feeling okay with living with that, made me feel genuinely validated

god damn why is playing games so hard. I installed a bunch but every time I think of playing one it's like I get paralyzed by the fear of Committing Any Time to Anything Ever

y'know, I enjoy taking photos and I've really struggled to know whether they're any good, but I think I've reached a point where I feel content in finding my own work pretty. like idk I've found a style that makes me feel stuff and that feels significant

update: we did 5 haunted houses and I was scared once because I literally couldn't see where I was going and then the Terrifier one genuinely got a little jump out of me. otherwise I am apparently impervious to haunted houses
also I am the most easily startled person alive in all other contexts

I was watching Lindsay Ellis's newest video and kinda broke down crying a bit at the state of the world. seeing children be exposed to the absolute most horrific experiences imaginable just kinda broke a stoicism I didn't even realize I had been holding onto
