I don't even know how I want to feel about all of this.
Upset? Angry? Sad? Disappointed?
I'm not surprised, just wish this had happened sooner.
I don't want to console anyone anymore. I don't want to. I'm tired. Its numb tired, because if I feel something its going to cause more problems. Theres no room for my enotions in this situation, because I'm the only one who can talk someone off a fucking ledge.
Don't be suprised when I quietly linger on the edge after the dust clears. I just pray no one pushes me.
A singular, "I regret my actions towards you and feel bad that i have hurt you", is sufficient.
"Im sorry im sorry im sorry sorry im sorry..." that means nothing after the first 3. After that, you're playing for pitty points whether it be intentional or not. Once I start responding with "i know. Uh-huh. Mhm." Im not listening anymore.
Apologize, accept it, do better, move on. Show me you're sorry through your actions. Don't spam an apology.
I wish I could solve everyone's problems. I know it's not realistic, because im not a miracle worker, and sometimes, someones issue isn't something tangible.
But I wish I could. And because I cant, i feel like a horrible person...
I live with so much guilt, just because I can't save everyone I know from everything going on.
Im so tired of everyone around me being sad and upset.
Im so tired of feeling bad for them and wanting to help them.
I hate that I care so much, cause it hurts to see thek all this way.
And whats worse? I cant help but be angry about it. Which makes me feel like an asshole, but every time I turn around someones having a fucking crisis of aome kind, and im TIRED.
I CANT FIX IT. I CANT MAKE IT GO AWAY.
I just want everyone to have a fucking moment of god damned peace.
I want them to be happy, i want them to not be having a TIME. But I cant magically make that happen.
And im tired, and stretched thin between my job, taking care of my house, putting out the emotional labor for the people in my house, and putting out the emotional labor for all my friends.
I don't have the energy for myself, for anything I wanna do, or anything that Im feeling.
My anxiety is near constant, to the point where most of the time im just numb. I want to feel something other than concern.
I love them all, its not their fault that theyre all having a bad time... but fuck can it NOT be all at the same time!?
I should totally do this for my jacket, fucking awesome
new tutorial, this time for "fake" medals you can use to decorate your jacket or any stuff really.
give yourself a weird award you yourself came up with, coorperations do it all the time!
stuff you will need:
-scissors
-variation of pliers
-a stencil, the shape you want the fabric part of ur medal to be, make it a bit bigger so youll have room to sew
-piece of fabric two times the size of your stencil
-sewing needle
-sewing thread, i use dental floss
-safety pin
-paperclip, or just iron wire, around 1 mm Ø
-bottlecap
start with cutting out the two pieces of fabric for your medal using a stencil
pin em to eachother, with the sides you want to be on the outside, facing inwards.
sew along the side but keep the top open, so you can flip it inside out.
now you can flip in inside out, and fold the top around the safety pin, and sew it down
make sure the side of the pin that doesnt open is the one being sewn down. the opening part should be on top.
bend the paperclip into something resembling the shapes in the pic below using the pliers, doesnt need to look good, mine sure dont
bend the edges of the bottlecap to the inside, and pin the hook part of the right iron wire thing down under the edge
connect the iron wire hoop you made (left in picture) to the piece of iron wire on the bottlecap. fold the point of the fabric part of the metal around the hoop and sew it down.
should look something like this.
now you can add decorations, you can paint the cap aswell as the fabric part, using patterned fabrics can also make ur medals look nicer.
ive seen people advise using modgepodge to seal the painted cap, instead of nailpolish, i dont have modpodge where i live but use that if youre able to get ur hands on it.
i hope this was clear, let me know if you want tutorials on any other stuff. i like doing them a lot.
