Once there came a freezing scream which seemed to revel horribly in its release from sanity.

I turned 33 last month

... and I’ve had this Tumblr for more than ten years at this point.

It’s time to leave it behind, together with the trouble and insecurity of some of the worst years of my life.

If you want to keep up with me please message me (off anon) and I’ll be glad to let you know where I might be posting from in future.

In reality it’s been a year and seven months and we still haven’t argued once. I wish “making concessions” wasn’t an excuse used to get women to accept everything their garbage partners put them through. Not saying that it’s not normal to argue sometimes in a long-term relationship (in fact I almost have trouble believing it’s never happened to us) but I just wish women would refuse to make concessions more often.

  • Piss everywhere in the loo
  • Cologne you can smell from another room
  • Noise! So many voices

Pros:

  • There are none

Still not a hundred percent sure how I got here, but I think I’ve become my friends’ stable friend now? The other day my bff said “You’re happy now, how did you do it?” and another time another friend asked me for tips on how to make it through the worst days of depression (which... there are no tips. You just get through the goddamn day). On top of which, people seem to look up to me for advice on food and exercise... So weird.

I got street-harassed again by one of the male customers at the loser bar I (used to) pass every day on my way to work so I decided to change my route. But. It’s fine.
