what really scares me is that i’m average i’m not really good at anything or really attractive i’m going to live an average life with an average job an average income and die an average death with an average funeral and nobody is going to remember me
Van Gogh thought that too
That is really, really inspiring, actually.

Hey, Big Al, why do all the people in my life with ADHD have such a weird sense of humor?
Oh, that's 'cause we're all super understimulated.
What does that even mean?
Imagine that the inside of your brain had an itch that you really couldn't scratch, but that itch was actually boredom, but that boredom was actually pain.
Oh, I see, yeah, that- that helps me none, zero at all. It also sounds pretty terrifying.
No, it- it's really not a big deal, you just kinda have to learn to restructure your life around it, including comedy.
Okay, so how does it affect the way that you interpret comedy?
So a side effect of understimulation is that your brain is constantly and more often than others' active. You're always thinking, you're always analyzing, you're always trying to problem solve. Because of exactly that, normal comedy and normal humor is a bit predictive, and doesn't really land with people with ADHD.
So what does land with people with ADHD?
Stark, abrupt chaos. Because it cannot be predicted, nor calculated.
Okay, so what would that even look like?
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Okay, why?
That landed for me
Ppl will be like “end the stigma around mental illness uwu” but still judge you if you’re unemployed or single or not completely self-sufficient or healthy or perfectly groomed or still live with parents and don’t see the hypocrisy in that whatsoever
Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”
How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god

idk if you all know this so im bringing it up but plume frequently costs substantially more than getting hormones from planned parenthood would. if you buy from plume without doing research into other methods, you could very well be overpaying by hundreds of dollars. there is nothing special about plume or its prices except that they are marketing themselves on social media
something something capitalistic irony. anyway yea what op said
