You’ve heard of the spoons theory– now here’s Cups™©: judge how depressed u are by how many half-empty cups surround ur bed because ur too apathetic to clean them or too anxious of ur roommates seeing you bring up 400 mugs into the kitchen

And the next level: Bowls®

hard mode: there are no clean plates or bowls in the kitchen so you can only eat cup-o-noodles BUT there are also no clean forks so you have to either dip your hand in disgusting dirty dish water or eat it without cutlery 

Hard mode is too hard 😭

Holy fuck, I suffer from cups... Like right now even... Like 4 cups :(!!!

AND I ATE CUP OF NOODLES WITH A SOOON BECAUSE I WAS DIRTY FORK LAZY... LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO :(!!!!

This is rape culture.

This is white male privilege.

This is injustice.

The rapist and the judge are revolting, sociopathic spawns of the devil.

Rapist: Brock Allen Turner Judge: Aaron Persky

California/Bay: Aaron Persky is on Tuesday's ballot. Vote his ass out.

im serious about that “stop saving things for special occasions” bit tho like. even if u aren’t in your 20s. thats for everyone. its one of the most useful things ive learned lately

stop! just stop. eat the special snack. drink the expensive hippie tea. use the incense or the bath bomb or whatever you paid way too much for because you were feeling really bad and retail therapy makes u feel alive

when we save things for special occasions/rainy days it contributes to us feeling like A.) our day to day existence is lackluster and B.) you have to be feeling a certain level of Bad, or have to reach a certain level of Socially Accepted Achievement, to enjoy things

just give yourself stuff. there are definitely sometimes reasons to withhold things from yourself - as motivation, if it’s something you consciously want to use sparingly, etc - but at least for me half the time it just turns into self-flagellation and also cool things and cool experiences and nice treats just collect dust while i wait for some fabled day when i convince myself i finally Deserve it

just fuckin give yourself stuff dude. life’s so mindblowingly short

my grandmother died having only used her china like twice in her life. during the year or so before her death, she was starting to package up and give things of hers to her kids, and gave mom the china while sighing “oh i wish i had used the china more!” and mom tried so hard to convince her to just keep it, then, and eat corny dogs off it if she wanted. she insisted she couldn’t possibly, you need a special reason to use the fine china. when nana died, we used her fine china as our everyday dishes for years. i was 18 when she died, and never really stopped having that in the back of my head. now, when i hear myself say “i wish i had a reason to wear/do/eat/use X!” i hear nana regretting never really using her china. and let me tell you a thing: spaghettios taste great when eaten from fine china.

Thank you to my mother for instilling this trait in me from birth. When life has its lows, it's so nice to have little silver linings.
