It's been a long while since I wrote anything on here, and I appreciate that half of it was naΓ―ve teenaged ramblings, but if anyone enjoyed my writing back the day I've made a SubStack to publish such things on if you'd be interested in dropping it a follow. Mar 25, 2024 at 9:31 PM

      So... I got sacked/fired/laid off. This sucks way more than I expected it to.

        That sucks a lot. See it as "a call to get a better job". ;) Good luck, I'm sure you'll manage soon! :)

        Not sure what it's like over there. In America we have placement agencies for entry level business jobs...if you have basic computer skills you'd have an easy time. :)

        Yeah I'll probably find another when something comes up (there aren't many atm, I don't live in an area with jobs). No computers though, the economy here is still very industrial-based and there is zero effort to move it to a service economy like the rest of the UK has. Will probably end up back in college, I need to anyway to get a maths qualification.

        Why on earth did they ban that? >.< (I watched all three videos (did already knew palm oil was bad though)) Palm oil's destruction is ridiculous and we really need to do something about it. That advert is great. I signed the petition. :)

      Yesterday, the leaders of France and Germany hugged eachother at a ceremony for armistice day. 100 years ago, 1.3 million Frenchmen and 1.8 million Germans died fighting eachother, with a combined total of 700,000* of their civilians being killed in the war. Surreal.

        *not including the 3 million Germans who died as a result of the allied-caused famine.

        The World War wasn't brought about because of a pure rivalry between Germany and France, however. The Great War was one of horrific attrition with chemical warfare and everything, leaving living space in France uninhabitable (Zone Rouge), all because they didn't like eachother.

      Today I visited a uni in Wales and holy crap I just found my first choice (kinda thought it would be, now I'm 100%). Beautiful area (wedged between the sea and a national park), uni makes the architect in me very happy, and the people are super nice.

      So today, and for a good portion of yesterday, I slept for 17 hours. That's a first for me. I guess doing 16 hours of work on 2 hours of sleep over 2 days does that to you.

      hey why does CAMHS make you have therapy with therapists who are hard to talk to, avoid actual mental health problems, accuses your mother of being a bad mother, doesn't understand familial relations at all, and asks if your dad and older brother are absentees lol

        should add I'm the older brother in question and am not the one receiving therapy, although I've been offered by this same dude and unless he wants me to get aggressive no thx

      Signed up to two university open days, one of which is next week, and got through a big chunk of my application. Today was a productive day.

        North Wales is indeed very pretty. I only see why my lowkey Welsh nationalist nan left it when I look at the jobs available. Really feels like home to me too so that'd be super nice.

        As for history... I found myself reading through my entire textbook on Nazi Germany for fun in Year 12 and almost got an A on that in my A Levels. Can't say I 'love Nazi Germany' though so I'm gonna go with Germany in general. My thesis was on the Labour government of 1945-1951 too and I loved reading about it. So... Those? Although i could go on for hours :p

        I've been on work placement in Rhyl (And I will be going back there for 6 months next year), but even studying down in Cardiff - I've loved the country as a whole for the past 4 years :)

        And those are both really cool areas! I was always fascinated with WW2 Aircraft, I think they're really snazzy :P Politics has never been my cup of tea, but my other half is into it so I try haha xD

      Two cats ran out across the street. Mum didn't hit the first one. Tried to tell her to stop before the 2nd one went in front (it was black and it was night time so... she couldn't see where her headlights weren't). Too late. I stroked it as it died. This sucks so much.

        I went on autopilot to be honest. Told my mum to stay in the car because she didn't need to see (she didn't listen to me), checked the cat's collar for tags

        (horrible collar with no tag), checked its mouth (internal bleeding), put it on the grass and stroked it until I felt its last breath. Didn't realise that I'd just made it all tangible for myself until today. If it helped the cat pass more peacefully its a small price to pay though.

        You did the right thing. The cat felt love and kindness in its final stages. Very proud of you.

        I did it for world mental health day. Eeyore is a character with clinical depression who isn't chastised by his friends but is instead welcomed by them, and you'll see he gets a smile out of it quite often. The past 2 days have been full of... well, mental health issues doing their thing to most people in my life including myself. Thought I'd keep it for a bit for that.

      On this world mental health day, I want to say don't ignore your mental health. Look after it just as you would your physical. As someone who struggles with it and has family members + friends doing the same, keep pushing. And do that every day, not just today. πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’›πŸ’œ

      20 minutes into the new Doctor Who. Camera quality and cinematography is gorgeous. Companion's acting is quite wooden. Jodie Whittaker is an amazing Doctor so far. Best Doctor Who episode since 2015's Heaven Sent.

        Where are you watching it? I don't get BBC America, so I'm currently searching for another source of the episode.

        BBC iPlayer. Which is probably unavailable in America since you need your TV license to watch on that here.

      I've lived the last week in a perpetual anxiety, working a job I loathe with every fibre of my being, while watching my friends on Snapchat live the life I was trying to build since I was sixteen and wanted more than anything, and my creative ability won't work. Life sucks.

      Day 2 of my entire family being asleep when I get home... after not having seen them since yesterday morning... I didn't know it was possible to miss people while under the same roof as them.

        It's shockingly easy. One particular week in grad school I had four days where I was basically gone from 6am to about 2am for school and work and I spent the off days corralled in my room playing games and watching TV. Roommates didn't see me at all that week even though I was a wall away from one of them.

      I failed psychology a month ago. I'd have had the UCAS points to do university if I hadn't. Someone, I assume my old teacher, put it in for a remark. I got the new mark back today and I've passed it. Few weeks too late for me to start uni now, but hey, what a nice surprise.
