Lazy People Doing More For The Environment
Funny comment I saw on that one Office clip about the character who says if he got a million dollars, he'd gladly do nothing. I think that's how many people feel when working in an office. They know they're working until they're nearly die. They want the escape button.
There was a comment in this thread, I think, that said the lazy people are doing more for the world than the motivated people. And one person asked why. And another answered with this (I'm paraphrasing): "Think about it. The motivated people are tearing down entire ecosystems to build shopping malls, and the...

Moderate
"Moderate is an ideological for people who are against radical or extreme political and religious views. A moderate is seen as someone having a general view of things instead of an extreme one. In American politics, a moderate is someone who has a centre position on the left–right political spectrum."
According to this definition, I would be considered moderate.
Was thinking about this earlier on my walk this afternoon. I remember reading in my government college class several years ago, the differences between Republicans and Democrats in what they believe....

Depressed Mind Vs Schizophrenic One
Gonna post something like this on Instagram when I actually find my phone my sister lost. Will be quite funny.
Depressed brain: I don't wanna get up and do anything.
Schizophrenic brain: Let's buy a mask at Party City and drive around like a madman wearing it.
Whew. Schizoaffective disorder is the best of both worlds. Depressive bipolar brain plus schizophrenia.
I'm gonna forever relate to all the crazy characters hahahaha.

My Room
My room is purple, just like how Diana describes it in my story, Free. There isn't much to it. No posters on the walls. White dressers, white desk, white nightstand that hasn't been next to my bed in years.
Nowadays, the sheet on my bed has Sonic The Hedgehog on it. And Knuckles and Tails. I have a red pillow case I never gave back to Mike. And a few stuffed animals: Sleeping Mew, Mew Awake, Mewtwo, and Meowth. And a few other random ones. I've thrown a lot of my stuffed animals from the past in 2017 away. Bad memories maybe.
Mostly clean room minus the dust. Not much...

Memory I Might Include In Memoir
I remember I used to talk with this guy I met on Okcupid. I think I picked him up from his house in some neighborhood perhaps in Magnolia. But I'm not sure. Like many others I have forgotten, I don't remember his name at all.
But I remember he told me this story of a schizophrenia woman he knew who was taking advantage of someone else. It didn't necessarily make me feel better about my own schizophrenic problems. But I'm glad he talked about it anyway.
But this is my dilemma. I don't blame anyone for leaving me if I exhibit toxic behaviors, and I don't blame myself for...

Love Deprivation Will Kill Me More Than Anything
I could be positive all I want to, love myself all I want to, but I know this loneliness is killing me. Not just emotionally but physically.
I know that I can't rely on people entirely, so it's easier to suffer in silence.
Even thinking about the expectations required for a friendship makes me want to go into a deep, deep sleep.
So many times, by so many people, I've been called selfish when all I've ever tried to do was be a wonderful lover and a wonderful friend.
I really can't respond to people's needs anymore. I can't be the understanding person...

The Fantasy Was Always Better Than The Reality
Ever since I was a little girl, I'd always imagine these beautiful fields of grass, towns, and majestic things all around. My world didn't make sense, yet it made perfect sense to me. This world, however, never did although it was supposed to make logical sense. I've been called a teenage idealist months ago on a forum. Somehow, that still makes me feel bad for being who I am, but I can't change it. I have no time to mull over it too much. Just have time to do what feeds my soul. And nothing feeds my soul, but the quiet, majestic things. My family did not feed my soul. People in general did...

a spark for an inferno
How would you feel if I said you were the catalyst for years of misfortune? You came into my life like a saviour and left me more broken than anyone else ever has.
Someone told me I should write my story, but I don't know how to do that without talking about you, because back then everything was about you. You were the start of a journey that would lead me place my younger self couldn't yet comprehend.
As much as I wish I could erase you from my history, none of those things would have been possible without you.

An Endless Sadness
Had a nightmare last night. It was quite dark and disturbing like many of them. My friend Joe was in it, telling me I had changed. That I wasn't the girl he thought he knew. That he didn't want to talk to me. That I was tainted now. Forever. Josh was saying it, and anyone I ever knew said these things.
I woke up like I usually do, like I'm getting out of a trance rather than a nightmare.
I personally hate it when people say to not let someone or something have so much power over you. Because I'm already good at that, considering my situation. But if something, even if...

Constantly disassociated
In my world, life is fuzzy. Life is spacey. I disassociate so hard I have dropped my phone before, not realizing I ran over it. When people talk to me, I freeze and numb out the feelings of intense fear. The intense fear of being sucked into another world I may not like. That's why I have a processing disorder. I'm trying to read this arts council thingy to see about potentially helping me with funds for my art stuff, but my reading is spotty. I read it over and over again, the words, and they do not make any sense. Nevermind, just read that I needed a letter of recommendation from an...

Looking For Slow Ways to Get Involved
Watched another video of Heidi Priebe talking about to become more of the real you and less the fake you. Whew, that was a lot. Realizing I still have a lot of people pleasing behaviors. Anyway, she talked about how you should seek out places where your true, future self would seek if you had no fears.
And I can't think of a single place but an art club or something. Looking at volunteer opportunities related to that, and I want to go back to bed thinking about all the responsibilities they're listing. I'm tired from all the pressure my family and others put on me and in turn, I...

My Cold Heart
I go into these moments where I shut off my emotions.
I shut off the side of me that cares too deeply.
I become cold like the world.
I become so fed up with the way the world treats me,
and yet I can't help blaming myself.
I'm no longer gonna give myself a hard time for shutting down, for not having the strength to continue my day. For sleeping much of the time. Still the perfectionist mind continues, relentlessly upset if I ate too much or if I didn't exercise enough or if I'm not acting perfectly moral.
I'm tired, and I don't have the capacity for...
