there is something vast and deeply, deeply melancholy within me. i think it is mourning.
mourning what? i don't know. maybe the child i never was. maybe the future i'll never have. i hold these shards of memory and they no longer cut my fingers but the blood is still there.
what to do, when the bleeding is staunched but the wound remains?

Doing the laundry is so unnecessarily difficult. A cup of this, two cups of that, that's easy. But how much clothing am I supposed to put into the washing machine? It's not like I can count the articles because everything has a different size and thickness! So I was told "one small basket". Okay. But we use a big basket. How much is that? And how full is one small basket? How much do I have to press the articles in until it is considered full? It's way too unconcrete for me. Give me concrete information!

S2 Henry is kind of frustrating? A lot of his negative traits from s1 seem magnified now without the original party
Anon in case you were worried, I need to stress that me taking literally 2 weeks to answer this has nothing to do with the nature of this ask and everything to do with the nature of me. Forgetting. Well, half-forgetting, I've been a bit preoccupied!
In any case, that's totally valid anon! Personally... Hm... [I'm collecting my own thoughts and feelings on the matter lol]... Well I definitely still *like* S2 Henry, and there've for sure been certain moments where I was like "aw I missed Henry" lol, but. Hm yeah genuinely I do get the frustration? I suppose on my own end I've found myself... Shall we say disenchanted with him a bit?
And not cause of the whole "I'll never forgive you for this" thing, genuinely I'm quite fond of that bit even if (perhaps rather controversially) I'm not really inclined to side with him on the matter (I mean, it's complicated). (This is a bit of a tangent but-) It felt very in-character in the sense that it's not the first time Henry's quixotic sense of morality (and to some extent justice) has put him at odds with someone with a still good-intentioned but ultimately more pragmatic approach to an ethically complicated situation (specifically Darryl I mean haha).
But in other, smaller interactions... Yeah, I've found myself feeling a bit frustrated with him too, though the exact origin of those feelings would be difficult to place a finger on precisely, I think. Somehow I'm inclined to think that the Venn diagram of what you perceive to constitute as Henry's negative traits and what I do would not be a perfect circle, so to speak, but all the same I concur that he's absolutely better when balanced out by the presence of the other dads. Perhaps to varying degrees that's true of all of them haha, but yes!
I think that's probably all I have to say on the matter tbh. Thanks for the ask anon!

One thing that really saddens me is when people belittle someone's intelligence due to continuously mispronouncing a word or saying it differently, or not understanding a reference to something because they've never heard of or encountered the material before despite it being well-known or "something everyone knows".
What's the phrase... "are you serious?" or "you're joking" or continuing the exclamation of appallment/surprise with "well you probably say [this] too or do [this] because of it" in a slightly teasing manner is something that... is very not appreciated. I wish people met someone not knowing "common knowledge" with "oh, what do you want to know about it? I can tell you what I know" instead of... ridicule or teasing belittlement of their intelligence.

Feeling so stressed and tired
My health isn't good and I'm not being seen by doctors because apparently nothing is wrong with me. I hate that face they give, the look as if you're a piece of shit, the smug face of 'that's a you problem'.... I thought these people were doctors there to help people?
My mental health is crap, college is beating it to a pulp, whether it's the purpose fucking up of grading my papers to make me look shit, or just the trauma of having to see the stuff I see on a daily basis. Stuff nobody should have to see.
My partner is ill and is having hospital check ups, being told it's all in their mind when they're up crying in the middle of the night their in so much agony.
Everything is just stacking up, I'm still being treated like a piece of shit by people of the general public at work. I'm so glad I'm changing jobs soon, away from the public.
Everything is so stressful, I'm balancing more than I should have to. It's giving my a headache, it's making me physically feel sick.

(i’ll have my phone with me so i’ll have access to tumblr but i’m not sure how much i’ll be online. and normally i use tumblr on desktop anyway and i don’t really like reblogging things on mobile lol)

being autistic and being into someone is confusing;;; its like...i know I'm overthinking things but I assumed after admitting to wanting to kiss that flirting was on the table but I'm not really getting anything flirty back? BUT THEN AGAIN......im really just adding winky kiss emojis into otherwise platonic text so perhaps that's not really enough;;;
