you gotta be able to say "die"
you gotta be able to say "suicide"
you gotta be able to talk about "sex"
they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE
because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.
even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"
like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.
sometimes you just need to listen to the same song for an entire week to truly heal
I do my little turn on the catwalk (to be continued..?)

I won't lie. I love Taka being a judgemental little gremlin. From trying to confiscate Makoto's hoodie for being too stylish for a uniform, to being genuinely offended by Kazuichi's entire outfit, and saying as much to his face. I'm also obsessed with the fact that Taka had no issue with Sakura wearing the girl's uniform during the entire time he was under the mistaken impression that she was actually a boy...
The boy certainly contains multitudes.
This is the reason why I was possessed to work out some kinda way to use my graphics tablet even though I was unable to sit up at more than a 45° angle.
(I blame the meds for not working out CSP had a screentone function before I made my own. I did find the 'lace' brush so I count it as a win.)

This is definitely not a google drive full of the sleep stuff from the Headspace app, including sleepcasts, music, and wind down meditation, that normally costs 17.99 a month, no siree and you definitely shouldnt share this with people
