I Love You If You're Mentally Ill And/or Neurodivergent And Can't Hide Your Symptoms. I Love You If You

i love you if you're mentally ill and/or neurodivergent and can't hide your symptoms. i love you if you tic, if you space out for long periods of time and lose track of conversations, if you react to hallucinations, if you laugh and talk out loud to yourself or to your system members, if you get scared and panic and have to react, if you run from perceived threats, if you get angry and irrational when something triggers your paranoia or trauma, if you can't help getting scared and dependent, if you have a low stress tolerance, if you have disorganized speech and word salad, if you stutter, if you can't control the volume of your voice. you are loved.

I wonder how often Dolores tried to tell someone that Bruno was living in their walls and got a response akin to this

Polyphemus, wailing in pain: "Nobody hurt me!"

The other cyclops: "then shut the FUCK up. bitch."

I love this musical

I may not be a big fan of Giovanni, but I must admit that it takes a special kind of courage to nap outside while it's snowing.

When I went to Classic Culture class and we learned about that part in The Odyssey where Odysseus' men make a mistake that stops them from getting to Ithaca when the island was in view, I expected Odysseus reaction to be like:

"What if I kill them?".

But now that I'm reading the book and I reached that part, his reaction is literally:

"What if I kill myself?".

He genuinely considers jumping into the sea and letting himself drown. He doesn't even get angry. The poor man has been through so much at this point that when faced with this heavy blow he doesn't even have room for anger, only for the idea to give up.

And I'm like... For Zeus and all the other good gods, someone invent therapy already.
