🆘
My new thing when I’m suffering at the hands of my own mind is saying “help” out loud without any context and when there is nothing anyone can actually do to help me. I say it multiple times a day and in front of anyone who happens to be around me.

Admittedly I think I say this too much — basically in response to everything, especially when my brain feels spacey. I forgot when this word even became a thing but it’s been a constant in my life ever since. and increasingly so. i often don’t even know what to respond to people so I just end up saying “oh lit” and it’s never received poorly...

anytime i say something a bit stupid and someone goes "what was that eilidh, come again?" and i don't want to repeat it because i have now heard it out loud and don't care for the sentence, i simply say "sorry that was an inside thought that managed to escape don't you worry"
works a charm

In my internal monologue I instinctively refer to myself as We instead of Me, most often when I’m planning out my day or creating mental to-do lists.
e.g. “We’re out of eggs, gotta add that to the grocery list”, “ We’re going to get out of work at 11 and then meet So-and-so and do such-and-such”
I obviously do not do this out loud in conversation, but in my head I often default to We instead of Me. (I hope this is not foreshadowing a future schizophrenia)

Some people think they are vermin but I think they’re perfect. My backyard has basically become a deer sanctuary and I should be paid by the government, not that the government has any stake in deer population upkeep. Sometimes I get nothing done because I spend the entire day watching deer eat all my plants.
I've been trying to gain their affection. My whole algorithm is now those videos of people who end up saving a deer and then the next day the deer shows up at their door and loves them forever. I obviously don’t want something bad to happen to a deer that would then force me to save them, but if it did end up happening, that'd be cool. Until then, I’ve realized, as I have in my romantic life, that the only way to attract another being is to sit very still and not make any sudden movements.

These are my boys. For a good time read ‘The Trouble With Being Born’ by Cioran and anything related to Schopenhauer. I really enjoy the brief moment where they make me feel like an optimist. Warning: do not read while pregnant. If you don’t want to read, which I understand, then I guess I’m just recommending pessimism in general?

Pure vanilla is just one of the all time best flavors and scents. I always want to be smelling vanilla but I’ve never wanted to smell like vanilla. I protested against layering with this scent for a long time because it’s polarizing and some might say basic. Plus I really don’t want people to internalize the fact that I chose to smell like a cupcake, but whatever, I like the smell of vanilla and at some point I have to do at least one thing in my pathetic little life for me.
