dear favorite para...

Shout-out to picrew creators. Carrying millions of paracosms on their backs.

Someone told me my hair and fashion style was “too 2010s.” It’s only been two years. Please!😭😭😭

Pardon me while I throw everything I own away and buy hundreds of dollars of now clothes so I can be one of the cool kids.

Seriously though, who has the time, money and energy to completely reinvent themselves every time a new style drops. Not me. 👋

Sometimes I think about going outside and making some real friends, but then I remember real people are assholes.

Ooh, this is fun! Here’s mine!

Hopping on this trend !! :) Tried to make a lot of them daydreaming-related <3

theres always that moment during the course of enjoying a character where it switches from ”this is my favorite character” to ”i enjoy this character in a mentally ill way”

Reblog if your blog is not a terf safe space

For my mental health, I will be blocking anyone who kills my vibes.

this is just a reminder that your madd is still valid and not inherently less serious or less severe if you only or mostly daydream about happy / cutesy / fluffy / funny scenarios. the content of your daydreams doesn’t have to be intrusive / violent / disturbing for it to be maladaptive.

People be talking about how they are probably faking MADD to Their therapist

And the therapist in question isn't there.

The more stressed I am the more I daydream and the more I waste my time.

Allow me to introduce myself. Hello, my name is Delilah, my pronouns are they/she, and I don’t exist for anyone else’s validation.

So, I finally made compiled my full kin list and here are my observations:

1. Wow I’m a piece of shit aren’t I?

2. It’s the family issues for me, man.

3. ✨Trauma✨

4. No seriously, I’m such a red flag. 😭😭😭

5. They all have nice hair though.

6. I know most of them are total shitbags, but they’re my emotional support shitbags.

Feel free to judge me as much as you’d like.

It drives me fucking bananas as someone with a learning disability when someone says “just study harder.” Like I’m not already doing everything I possibly can to stay afloat. I’m already on the verge of mental collapse, if I do any more I’ll fall apart. I’m not capable of studying any harder, Karen!

I’m so fucked up, my emotional support imaginary friends have emotional support imaginary friends.

Here’s a wild domino affect from my life.

Like and reblog if your account is a safe space for trans lesbians. It feels like trans lesbians in particular get shamed and ridiculed a lot by people in and out of the community. If you’re reading this I want to let you know you’re valid and I hope your safe and doing well.
