Went to a place where alcohol is served and was so brave about it. I obviously didn't order anything, my friends ordered a beer and a spiked lemonade of some sort so that we could sit there.
When they suggested the place, I immediately stated 'I don't drink though.' to which one of my friends responded with 'Chill, I'm not drinking today either, spent enough money today.'
When we were going, I said that I might actually just go home, but they were so chill and understanding that I decided to stay with them in the end. 'Seriously, you don't have to drink, we're just gonna try out the cool board game I bought.' 'Don't even worry about it, it's not like we're going there to get sloshed, or even drink, really.'
And there was genuinely no pressure, no asking, no nothing. We literally did just try out the board game and it was really cool.
With how strong the alcohol culture is here, with how many family members and random people insisted on me drinking or got blackout drunk around me (with no way for me to escape) despite my goddamn trauma, I'm just so genuinely moved? They have no way of knowing what's up with me, I never told them. They can only suspect something is up with the way I never go with them whenever they meet up specifically 'to go to a pub'. Yet they're way more understanding than my own damn mother.
This is such a basic thing - respecting people's boundaries - yet here I am, getting sappy about it. Man, I love my friends. I really got lucky, many people don't get to hang out with their friends from grade school like I do.

Sometimes I think some people are born kind. People who just instinctively seem to give what they can whether it’s time, money, energy, love, whatever. They’re just these shiny golden people that spread that positivity wherever they go.
I sometimes feel like that’s not me. Like every time I’m kind to someone it’s an active choice. Like maybe I’m not kind for the sake of being kind, but to manipulate those around me into liking me. Maybe I’m actually not kind. Maybe I’m horrible and selfish and every time someone dislikes me even though I’ve been nothing but kind (or tried to be anyway) it’s just them seeing through the bullshit to a rotten core. Maybe when I’m less than kind it’s a facade slipping, showing what’s underneath whether that’s in a sheer sort of translucent way, or in its entirety. Maybe I’m not spreading that rot, but I could. Maybe that shiny golden facade I wrap myself in keeps it contained for the most part, even if some see through it or see slivers where it doesn’t cover me completely. I feel like even if I’m not spreading rot, I’m incapable of spreading that golden positivity either. It’s not in me, even if I pretend to be golden. It’s not inherent, and I can’t give it to people around me. I have to snatch up every tiny little bit I come across so I can add it to this stupid facade I’m trying so damn hard to keep up, but it just never fucking works.
I wish I was born golden. I wish I had that innate kind of ability to be instinctually kind and impossibly positive.

God fucking damnit. At 2:13am I just discovered that I took NONE of my meds today 🙃 somehow, despite the notifications that don't go away until I click confirm that I don't ever click until the meds are in my mouth, I managed to not take my morning or afternoon meds today.
No wonder I felt like shit today. All day I've been wondering why I'm just vaguely malaised and in pain all over and why my stomach has felt like an acid pit and I've been exhausted and vaguely depressed. I assumed it was just the temperatures dropping out but Nope. I just didn't take any of my meds and it's too late to take them now 🤡
