Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

I really want to make another Owl House thread cause I missed the boat on the first one, but I feel like I should finish season 2 first. It's taking me a millennia to watch the 3 episodes I have left, somehow.. there are so many things I am absolutely loving but I will wait to explode about them until I finish the season. 

Also, we had a marching band competition today and had to get up at 3:00 A.M.! Yes, it is an insane time to get out of bed! No one should be getting out of bed because it's still nighttime! And on a Saturday, no less. Which means today feels like it's wayyy longer than it should be, because I was awake six hours before I should have been.

Woo yay fun marching band

Thank you Darkvine! I wish everyone a wonderful October too!

Going back to the All Creatures Great & Small for a second, just let me say that if you haven't watched it you really should... It's super funny, super interesting, and really nice all around. The characters are so warm-hearted and you really feel like you know them by the end of the first few episodes. And it's about a vet, so there are lots of cute animals!

I know I've said this kind of thing a hundred times before, but I am flipping out about this one line in Hamlet where Hamlet tells Horatio "Ever since my soul was mistress of her choice and could of men distinguish, her election hath sealed thee for herself," and the approximate translation of that is "ever since I could choose right from wrong, I chose you." You cannot tell me that that isn't the softest, most romantic thing EVER and these two were so in love but their story ends so sadly (seriously, do not get me started on the ending of Hamlet) and even though they loved each other and were willing to die for each other people STILL insist they were "close friends" because they refuse to believe two males could've loved each other that strongly.

Tsuki, I really care about you and I just want to say that I hope it gets better and I hope someone can help you, even if I have come to accept that I don't actually have any advice.

*hugs*  I know how you feel.  I'm not good at giving advice, but I'm here for you if you want any.

Oh, Tsuki... *offers all the hugs*

I know it can be rough so much of the time. I genuinely hope you can get help -- whether that be in just noticing little things and trying to look positively upon the world, or seeing a therapist(or a better one, if you're seeing one and its not helping much), or taking the proper meds to mess with those cursed chemicals in our heads that seem to rule as a tyranny over our lives.

I know it can seem so hopeless and exhausting and like it's just too much and there's no point -- but look for one. Start looking for one thing that makes you happy in life. Say, Languages(I remember you really liking studying those). And emerse yourself in it. Say, if I can get through this task, this class, this day, I'll be one step closer to my goal, I can take just a little time to do a Japanese lesson, or whatever it is that's your safe activity. And take breaks sometimes, don't let everything bubble up and spin you out of control; you can do it, even if it's hard. It will be tiring, but you absolutely can do it.

It doesn't always work immediately, and just willpower alone won't always get you where you want to be; but stay chin-above-the-water and eventually you'll get to a better place. Things will change, and the scales will turn -- not all for better, not all for worse. I sincerely implore you to just reach out for help sometimes, to find someone who you can talk with at any time and confide in; who won't brush you off or minimise your struggles.

You matter. Your problems do exist. But they aren't going to magically disappear. You deserve to be heard out and get help when you need it.

We're always here for you, whenever you need it, Tsuki. Stay healthy and safe! <3<3<3
