Might just be the depression talking but i feel the feedback and length of time of a challenge changes how rewarding it feels. Most games are designed to peak in difficulty and reward the player around the same time. Life doesn't work like that. Retail doesn't get harder throughout the day and then rewards you with cash at the end. You struggle daily for 1-2 weeks then get sent a check.

Sometimes it is an easy pay period other times its incredibly difficult, but regardless you get rewarded the same. Thus why people may feel better about overcoming video game challenges while not feeling even a fraction of that reward by doing real life tasks.

"someone who allows you to rest" is the relationship dynamic of all time

A parent that welcomes you back home after things have fallen apart. A best friend whose voice alone who can make you relax.

i like socializing with other queer people but man there is nothing quite like having a married straight guy as a friend

treech in a drumming noise inside my head

btw if you tell me something and i reply with “oh???” that’s the equivalent of a dog’s ears perking up

can someone please send me that post abt washing your sheets "climb in my brothers"

Two moods

Don't: Give me fucking orders.

Please: Tell me what needs done and if necessary how to do it.

These are different things but people often confuse them.

this makes me kick my feet up behind me in bed

that quote like “god gave us transness for the same reason he made grapes but not wine; yeast but no loaves — so we may partake in the divine act of creation”
