another confusing thing is when a man calls you beautiful or something and you watch him watching himself say it and you see that he’s more impressed by his own observation/consumption of you than by your organic presence and you realise the whole thing is basically a performance and his ego is the audience

We should stop buying iPhones and eating avocado toasts so we can buy diamonds, houses and eat at BWW and Applebee’s 

Their food ain’t even that great. Why get subpar, fast food when I can get something healthier, tastier, and/or more financially reasonable?

Why am I gonna go to BDubs for overpriced low quality food when I can freeze a ton of chicken to ration out over months, throw together some veggies, and mix my own spices for like a third of the cost?

Plus even if I’m going to spend money on going out I’m not going to spend $12.99 on what’s basically a box mix, I’m going to try to go to a local business that serves good food, often with way lower in sodium and fats, instead of a major corporation serving mediocre food

I just…these articles keep getting stupider. I’m not even a millennial and I’m fucking sick of them. PAY PEOPLE A LIVING WAGE. OH AND HOW ABOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE AND MAYBE AFFORDABLE QUALITY EDUCATION. MAYBE THEN PEOPLE WILL BUY YOUR SHITTY FUCKING FOOD.

VIVA LA FUCKING AVOCADO TOAST.

Maybe it’s because Applebee’s is fucking shit.

Applebees: Can it be that our food just isn’t good? Applebees: No, it’s the millennials that are wrong

maybe i wanna eat my wings in front of netflix instead of 500 screens each playing a different sport at the same time

That last comment made me slam the reblog button

what to do when everything’s a mess

  1. Wash your hair. Don’t worry about all those articles online about the best haircare products of 2019 and whatnot, get in, wash it like you usually do, get out. Leave it to air dry, it’s less work for you.
  2. Brush your teeth. Even if you brushed them this morning and are probably going to brush it tonight, do it anyway. Especially if it’s exam time, all that tea or coffee you’re most likely downing (props to you if you only study with water) probably makes them feel kind of gross.
  3. I know most of these lists tell you to run a bath, but let’s face it, for those of you who even have a bath in the first place, the thought of filling that tub and sitting there in complete silence for a couple hours seems like a trek. And ironically exhausting. So instead, just brush your hair, take a nap (set a nice soothing alarm) and once you’ve gotten out of bed, wash your face or at least splash cold water on your face.
  4. CLEAN clean clean clean CLEAN. Easier said than done, but at least start by clearing one messy component of your area; it could be your floor, your desk or your bed. You don’t need to clean and re-organise your entire room marie condo-style for you to actually have a reason to take the time to clean in the first place. A little goes a long way, and you don’t ALWAYS need to do the hard yards ya know.
  5. I would say read a book, but sometimes your brain is melting or buzzing so it can’t really focus on anything lengthy. So instead, find someone reciting a poem online, and just listen to it. I recommend Jeremy Irons and his voicing of tons of T.S Eliot poetry, or Allen Ginsberg reciting his own poetry (Howl is a classic).
  6. If you’re one of those people who drowns their sorrows by listening to music, don’t listen to music!! Don’t reinforce your pain!! So to that I say, listen to a podcast. If the classic podcast genre of true crime is a little too stressful and you’ve already cried twice today, listen to interviews with actors, screenwriters and directors. It can be really refreshing to listen to people you already enjoy the content of talk about their work. I recommend Awards Chatter and Happy Sad Confused.
  7. Stop staring at screens! Just physically sit outside for a bit, you don’t need to go for a jog or do a general workout, just…sit. People-watch, try and memorise the exact scene in front of you, from the mis-en-scene to all the colours and sounds and the way the sunlight feels on your eyelashes. Write it down if you want to, you could even denote a single notebook to your little outdoor descriptions. Or just write on a napkin. To each their own.
  8. Have you eaten today? And I mean something hearty, something that isn’t primarily made out of air and salt. Something that falls under the umbrella of snack does not count; meal is more like it. If not, eat. Preparing food might feel exhausting, but so’s going a relatively long amount of time without something nutritionally substantial.
  9. If you’re feeling emotionally heavily, get out a notebook or even just a scrap of paper, a pen and cry until your eyes are as blurry as can be. With tears down your cheeks, scribble out how you’re feeling. Don’t bother with how neat or messy it is, whether the sentences even stay on the lines, it’s not about being aesthetic. In fact, it’s about being as messy as possible. Let all of it out, and let is act as a physical manifestation of what’s going on in your head. Don’t fight it or deny it, relieve yourself by both constructing and understanding yourself.
