tried to explain why I thought pineapple on pizza was like a metaphor for embracing chaos and instead I ended up just sounding like a really passionate person who's never actually eaten it and now everyone thinks im so bizarre, like how do I even recover from that? still cringing at the image of their faces, ugh
if you are feeling overwhelmed right now, just know that it is okay to take a breath and trust that brighter days are ahead. #YouAreNotAlone #StayStrong
watching my coworker celebrate their promotion while im still fighting for an accommodation feels like watching a dog eat a huge steak while im over here trying to figure out how to get out of bed without crying, it just seems so unfair, and i can’t even take my usual walks because the sun feels too bright and people always look at me like i don’t belong, meanwhile my apartment is still the same dark little box and my salary feels like pocket change compared to the joys im missing out on.

so i was in this big meeting trying to sound smart and confidently asked if we could pivot our “project timeline” just to realize i had been using “project” as a placeholder for my cat’s name the whole time, like who does that, right?
