It is. In case you were wondering. Your story is worth the effort you are putting into it. It’s an amazing thing because you are writing it.
you gotta have freaks and gross weirdos in your life it’s imperative to understanding the truth of humanity

This goes to show how prioritizing a healthy sleep schedule is the wrong thing to do and My Chemical Romance is infinitely more important. They did WHAT.
i'm sorry to be that person but buying less shit and spending less money in general is actually such a salve to so many of our personal/political/environmental problems. saving your own money and not mindlessly giving it to corporations who are ruining our world, walking instead of driving, buying second hand or swapping with friends or joining a buy nothing group or picking your furniture up off the street, reusing things until they're totally dead and then giving them a new life as something else, eating cheap, whole foods - dried beans and rice and seasonal produce, or dumpster diving if you're so inclined - or growing your own, sharing what you have with others, learning how to make and fix things, singing and playing and dancing with people, these things don't need to cost money and for so much of human history they didn't. we all need to get out of the mindset that we can buy our way into happiness because we can't, but we can create communion with the places and people around us and connect in a way that is not facilitated by big profit making machines. stop spending your hard earned money and time on things that don't give a shit about you, and focus on creating a world that you want to live in, stop letting them tell you that it's not worth your effort because it is.
"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally
