And ig my thought process was like well my stuff would be of most use to her (computer, money, etc) and was also somewhat I tierlist of how important the relationships were to me (which is interesting to think about from RA POV, haven’t thought about yet hm)
And that perspective stayed even after we broke up, and thoughts about it even popped up more often. I guess it was a way of basically telling myself she was still the most important person in my life, even though she wasn’t in my life anymore. And also kind of this martyr thing
Like oh he’s dead but was so kind which is very funny lmao how weird. But anyway the revelation I had a bit ago was like oh I actually haven’t thought about this idea for a while, and no longer have the impulse to include her, and I thought that that was significant
Oh and that reminds me I never talked about that thing with my will I mentioned a bit ago. Basically while Gail and I were dating my perspective on my will was like ok gail can take whatever she wants, then isaiah, then parents
(Side note: weird to think about will in general, like passing on commodities, esp when I don’t have much sentimental stuff, which ig why so loose and disorganized)
Wtf was that night lmao. Hmmm in that way it was prob like super super performative like hey I’m really bothered by this and said snd heres an action to prove it
It’s very funny looking back and ofc makes no sense but that’s kinda the whole thing so idk. Even then tho I feel like… hm idk. Sorta just very quickly moved on from that it was kinda zz not important. Never really did much reflection on it. I remember my story being something
Like just wanting to stop feeling, not wanting to die, but idk if that was just the lie I told doctors and parents lol. Weird part was coming to parents I’m very confused why I did that. Wait did I text gail and she tell parents? Hmm
I think that makes more sense, like I was def the type to pull something like that then just ride it out, but also was super open with Gail. Wait were we fighting too? I seem to remember that too now lol
I suppose one part of me feels like you could just say that, but I suppose that’s also a part of the challenge. And it doesn’t feel as “real”. Part of it is performing like hey this is serious, not just the blues
And ofc breaking it down like this is kinda super missing the point, esp when I’ve done reckless things related to this that are pretty nonsensical. Remember when I took like 15 Prozac (or maybe some other med?) and went to the ER? Lmao why
Intended for that person. Blaming/guilting/begging for forgiveness stuff like that just feels pointless idk. I could maybe imagine like “don’t blame yourself” but idk while true they prob would feel that way regardless, and my post won’t change their mind
Also if I’m making one of these, why not post on a timer? So like after it’s done? But then again I’m kinda missing the whole point of these right. Like it can be important to be like hey I need attention on this, I’m in pain and suffering and I need help.
Social in any way. Ofc that’s a bit reductive, but my impulses have always been very individual. That being said tho I haven’t really had social interactions leading me to feel this way and have always been supported by pretty much everyone in my life
Like making one of those has never crossed my mind when thinking like that. If I did make one it would be very personal and I’d maybe keep it somewhere that could be found later but never like sent to anyone or made public.
I’m struggling to imagine what I would even put in it. Justification? I wouldn’t feel the need to explain or justify myself. A message to someone? Why? I could imagine in a document for myself writing like a POV to another to help me process, but not like a message actually
But also interesting how other parts were very disorganized, misspelled, or extra punctuation that seemed unintentional. Given the aesthetic frame it was put in, this sort of contributed to that. Like it was desperate and painful and that added to its beauty
I don’t know how to put what I want to say. Ig I’ve always felt a bit odd about suicide manifestos, like not really sure what do. If it’s self reflection and for you I totally get that but then why post/share? Ig suicide has always felt like a very individual choice, and not very
Saw someone’s suicide manifesto on the TL, have some thoughts I wanna unpack. (Yeah maybe a little weird to make someone else’s experience about *me*, but idc not like anyone will really see this)
First I guess I’m stricken by how different it is from my experience. This person was (and is I guess, sorry they’re still around) very artistically minded, and it came out in their writing and style, down to the formatting of document and word choice
im writing a philosophy paper and i always get caught up in studying and understanding a perspective and in the process im just constantly like "ok is this coherent" without regard for whether its true or not and then when i go to critique it im like "but i cant!! its coherent!"
Counting calories works but consumes so much attention and upkeep. I guess better than not having any energy and being overall less stable and effective
Forgot foggy classes and just being totally checked out - not just like oh I’m not interested but like I physically couldn’t focus if I wanted to. My body feels exhaustion
Pressures performance, more that it’s self policing) but yeah was really nice to transition from that mode with him. Still don’t fully understand how that transition happens, I think there’s a moment where enough chemistry happens in convo (not chemistry exclusive to “romantic”
relations to be clear) where genuine bits slip out and goes from there. Also moments with some effort as well, like just saying fuck it and sending something more out of comfort zone. Also helps when interlocutor is also perceived as being genuine and open as well, talking about
How they feel or personal things. Usually I’m not good at probing and stuff but idk I was motivated ig bc I enjoy talking w Ryno, and also realized (from what I could tell) is fine with talking too but is just awkward lol
I think it was an important confidence boost, and I’m even feeling better going out today and being more comfortable acting fem (not femme bc that is problematic!) that little social reinforcement is really important, humans are odd and cute
It was really nice esp after that thread I made the other day talking about “authenticity”. Ryno is still p awk lol but I was able to express myself in a way I was comfortable with, without feeling like I was pressured into a performance (not that anyone ever really explicitly
Yesterday I tried to explain school abolition in DSA lol idk if I did a very good job. I get so nervous and flustered in groups too big, but there were only like 10 people. Really need to work on eye contact with people
forgot this weird feel where tummy is so empty you feel like youre gonna vomit. but also bazaar that i dont feel hungry at all lol, body has just given up on cues ig
