pretty bummed out all around lately! health has been up and down, i'm feeling pretty stressed by all the things i have to or *should* probably do, a growing sense of inadequacy as a girlfriend/woman partner and as an only daughter to my parents, and the cherry on top is my big cyst on my chin and my bangs that don't look quite right post-trim. :-(
the child abuse i overheard today at someone's house! :-( why do the most unfit people seem to always be parents??? i know we shouldn't give into weird reactionary politics which don't end up helping sad situations, but it is really fucking sad to hear a little girl screaming and being hit a few rooms away by an adult man.
watching: a lot of online drama happening to a shitty old friend! i did not add fire to this but it's both kind of amusing and grief-inducing for me
reading: persepolis
jerry paper! i have known of them for almost a decade now but never really went deep into their discography until recently. silly bc i knew them for "chameleon world" but not their hits like grey area (with weyes blood who i also love!!!) or literally anything off of their album "like a baby"
a lot of cleaning and decorating... it's a great way to cope with feeling like things are out of control and not what you want around you. optimistically, redecorating has been a desire of mine for a while now so i don't really mind this focus coming now
