my mom got fired from the job she’s had for 20 years im so fucking scared for her and for myself she’s been helping me keep myself afloat as much as she’s been able to for a while and im so fucking scared now because my plan was to save up to move back home and move back in with her for a while i don’t know what’s gonna happen to her or her house or our pets im so fucking scared
im not expecting anything out of it but im going to put my links here because it’s genuinely the only thing i can think of right now. my paycheck this week is going to be less than half of what it normally is and all of it is going to have to cover the rest of my rent. anything sent to me with a note saying “for laura” will immediately be sent to my mom so i can try and help her in any way i can. she became a widow when i was 7 and had to raise three kids on her own, and she’s been the main person to support me through my transition and she’s helped me with bills and rent whenever she’s been able to. my mom is my fucking world and i cant stand to see this happen to her so if anyone can help me help her i would appreciate it more than anything.
Dislike it when ppl hustle too hard on vinted. I like their item and suddenly they’re in my inbox asking if I’m interested and that I should follow for more and to stay in touch. Calm down pls 😭
puttering around the house is an underrated form a self-care. make some tea or coffee. put on a podcast. sort the mail. tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. start the laundry. thaw some soup. just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. who cares if you get distracted or only do a little. you aren’t being productive. you’re puttering.
(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don’t, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that’s not true. it’s the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms
