Even if I didn’t have a solid plan, in the back of my head, I always assumed I’d kill myself.

Now I’m an adult and people my age have their lives in order and I’m stuck here, confused, because I never planned to be alive and I’m so far behind.

I feel like I’ll never catch up.

Hey all.

I want to make an addition to this. I made this post a long time ago.

I’m currently back in university, and I’ve made so much progress with my trauma. I’m in a loving relationship.

Things can and will get better. It’s not too late.

Nothing is perfect by any means. But I’m happy I’m still here and didn’t kill myself. I hope you get to that point, too 💕

The addition is important! I see the original post circulating a lot, but the addition is important!

New addition two years later. I’m still going strong!

I’m getting married. I’m still in that loving relationship.

I’ve learned that there’s no real timeline. It’s okay. And while it sucks that I lost time, there’s still so much for me to experience and enjoy.

Newest addition. 7 years after the original post!

I got married last month! My dog is laying on me snoring. I’ve learned to have healthy friendships and relationships. I’ve learned that I’m not alone and that even when things are hard, I’m going to be okay.

Imagine this happening in any city in the world. Think about it happening. No matter how many times I see videos of bombings, it never stops stunning me. Don't be desensitized to the violence, terror, and destruction Palestinian people have been and are currently facing. The occupation of Palestine must end. Palestine will be free.

Not that mainstream media would make a note of this, but Iran has said multiple times that it’s wishing de-escalate. Israel launched a drone attack against Iran a few days ago, but Iran shot it down without retaliation. It even actively played it down so that it didn’t have to retaliate, so that the confrontation could end where it did. It’s Israel that’s continuously attacking Iran and its allies. It’s Israel that’s trying to escalate this. It’s literally them.

If Iran does decide to retaliate on a bigger scale, you best believe every western media will be painting it as the aggressor. Meanwhile, Israel is launching air strikes on every possible Arab country you could think of, as well as Iran. So many people are dying every second. Still no word of aid or medical supplies being permitted. Settler violence AND IOF violence has been getting so much worse in the West Bank. None of that resolution talk amounted to anything

"You can't make them - whoever your particular them is - do anything, really," said Ekaterin slowly. "Adulthood isn't an award they'll give you for being a good child. ... You have to just...take it. Give it to yourself, I suppose. Say, I'm sorry you feel like that, and walk away. But that's hard."

Plants what now

okay so apparently we just discovered that plants emit clicking sounds too high pitched for us to hear, and are noisy when they're stressed but quiet when content

There needs to be more research done into this, and as of now we can't say why the sounds happen but. WHAT.

I knew they could hear noises but apparently they MAKE noises too

Cats knocking over houseplants just got a lot more vindictive

SHUT UPPPP

also some plants can see. as it turns out. Shouldn't be surprising because they are literally covered in light sensitive cells that direct them toward sunlight, but, yeah, some of them have versions of those cells that can see in some fashion or another.

we found this out fairly recently (last 3 or 4 years) because the plant boquila trifoliolata can grow its leaves different shapes to mimmic the plants around it and we thought maybe they did it by touch or something so we did an experiment with no touching and ruled that out, and then we thought maybe it was some kind of pheromone thing or something but in another experiment it copied the leaf shape of a plastic plant, so

anyway plants can see. some only enough to tell where the sunlight is strongest, others... more than that.

Yeah Boquila trifoliolata is the mimic octopus of the plant world.

Also it's not just reacting to plant pheremones or something like that... it will mimic plastic plants.

I think the hot new trends for this summer should be reading comprehension and critical thinking skills

how i look bagging the baddest bitch in the ton after doing everything wrong

overthinking is such a silent killer
