people vaguely saying 'the horrors' as shorthand for 'life problems, don't worry about it' in conversations where the problems are not going to be delved into has got to be one of my favorite new Ways Of Speaking that has emerged. like it's polite and vague and succinct enough for impersonal conversation but also extremely honest. it's very funny. The Horrors. we all know of them.

you're not stuck. it's not over. you can claw yourself out again and again. find strength in yourself. find strength in others whom you can trust. the fight isn't over until you're dead.

Doomed by the narrative but not because of the story itself, doomed by the narrative because it isn’t about you, doomed to obscurity, doomed because the narrative forgot you and you’re doomed to burn your hands on the spotlight as you try to drag it onto yourself
