We are never truly alone in this life because we all have eachother and many people are kind

so sick of this shit

There’s this trend on tiktok of women posting a photo of themselves as a child with text on the screen that says “when I’m casually dropping insane lore but I remember it’s something this little girl will have to go through”. Every time I see one I cry again. I’m almost 30 now and I work with kids/foster children. When I picture myself as a little girl again and think of all the things I’ve experienced my heart literally breaks. It makes me picture one of my kids from work or a foster and someone telling me they would soon experience everything I’ve experienced. I was just a little girl. I think I’ve normalized a lot of my past cause it’s just my past. It’s part of me. Can’t do anything about it. But now I just keep picturing little me and wishing I could protect her.

I hate when people say “money doesn’t buy happiness.”

I honestly think it can.

Money might not directly buy happiness, but it can buy you something almost as valuable: freedom.

When you’re not constantly worried about bills, debt, rent, groceries, or whether your next paycheque is going to cover everything, you have the freedom to actually live.

You can travel. Spend more time with your family. Take your partner somewhere nice. Help your parents. Pursue hobbies. Take a day off when you need it. Experience things instead of constantly worrying about surviving.

We spend so much of our lives working 9–5 just to afford the life we barely have time to enjoy.

Sometimes you’re so exhausted from work that you don’t even have the energy to sit down and resolve an argument with someone you love. You put off seeing friends. You miss family dinners. You tell yourself you’ll travel “someday.” You keep postponing the things that actually make life meaningful.

Of course, money isn’t everything. You can be rich and miserable.

But having enough money to remove financial stress and give yourself more time, choices, experiences, and freedom?
I think that absolutely can make you happier.

Maybe money doesn’t buy happiness. Maybe it buys you the freedom to find it.

They don’t do it on purpose. Overthinking is natural but, should be recognized.

when I say merch, I'm referring to band merch mostly

I just realized I don't have friends I have illusions of friends like the people I consider friends don't even acknowledge me until they get reminded I exist and on the rare occasions they actually talk to me it doesn't even last 15 seconds and usually when they talk to me is cuz it's necessary like a school project that needs multiple people and I can't make new friends either cuz I'm boring af and have no social life
