The fact that I used to princess cary other girls when I was 11, because I liked showing them how strong I was, and I liked how giddy and happy it made them......
Was looking through my pintrist boards and came across one I had titled "things to do with the lads" it only had one pin. It was an old tumblr post by asphodel-s-blog about getting dressed up and having a tea party.
Wanna know what ACTUALLY left a lasting impact on me and made me want to NEVER go anywhere near drugs as a child? Had a major developmental impact?
The Ranger's Apprentice ya book series by John Flanagan.
There's a good length of time in there where a character's consciousness just goes bye-bye because of a drug he was tricked into taking and let me tell you. For little 12year old me, the length of the story before that character was weened off the drug and came back to himself was like I had personally lost an actual real and dear friend. Lil bebe me was so distraught. Grief stricken as I could be and still appear "normal". At that point in my life I didn't have friends, I had books. Broke me a little bit until the character got better.
But then my cat, Momo, gently bapped my forehead with just the smallest amount of claw. And, I not having realized she was on my bed with me at all, let alone that she was asking me for pets, my system was so shocked that the attack stopped there. Just. Stopped. As it dissipated almost immediately, she started to cuddle me and purr insistently.
Do I understand the science behind this? Yes.
Will that stop me from claiming that Momo has magic healing baps? No.
Sometimes, I start a quote in the group chat and then go into a one on one chat with one of my buddies and demand they finish the quote in the group chat if they haven't yet.
Okay, but is it too much to ask for an in my budget, vibrant multi colored, art nouveau with folk art elements, plush but not shaggy, soft, easy whipe clean, memory foam, dragon, area rug‽
"Oh, adhd is just an excuse. There's no way you forgot that mess is there/to take care of that thing/etc! You're just lazy and didn't want to take care of it."
My good bitch. I just went my entire day. With one of my contact lenses inside out. Causing my eye pain everytime I blinked. But since I couldn't take care of it when it first happened since I was rushing out the door, by the time I reached my destination, I FORGOT.
Let me say that again. Contact lense inside out. Pain everytime I blink. And I accidentally phased it out.
Wasn't until 5 minutes ago AT 11 PM that I went "huh. I kinda have a headache that's not-OWFUCKMYMOTHERFUCKINGEYEBALL." and went to the restroom to figure out what was wrong with my contact.
POV: on the freeway. Going zoomie-mph. In the middle of changing lanes. I check my blind spot, and when I look back forward A SPIDER FALLS FROM THE CIELING ONTO MY LAP.
(Nothing happened. I squoshed it with my bare hands after I screamed. And car driving things were normal. BUT FUCK THAT SHIT)
