Doing My Best To Hold Out On That Mental Breakdown Til November So I’m Not In The Hospital On Halloween.

As much as we talk about mental health, I feel like we’re also perpetuating this culture of anti-forgiveness that is so against the idea that people can change, that it’s actually detrimental to mental health because the reality is, everybody makes mistakes, and a lot of people make big mistakes, but that doesn’t mean that they’re always bad people. I think we’re really damaging people’s mental health with this idea that people can’t reform. Just because you make a mistake, even if it’s a big one, does not mean that there’s anything inherently wrong with you and that you can’t do better, and we should stop perpetuating that idea. Anyway, that’s my two cents.

So tired of boomers telling us that they worked their way through college and so can we. Talked to my grandmother. Her student loan was $15 every other month for a few years. My parents went to college in the late nineties, both got scholarships, and we’re still paying off my dad’s student loans. College tuition has tripled since my parents went to school. Please shut the fuck up. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Me: Man, Harry Potter is so dreamy.

Friend: Yeah, Daniel Radcliffe is pretty hot. He needs to ditch the beard though.

Me: No no. Not Daniel Radcliffe. Harry Potter.

Friend: But-

Me: Shhh... Harry Potter.

I used to love “Trashin’ the Camp” from Tarzan when I was younger and then I grew older and realized that “Money” by Pink Floyd is like that but for older, cooler people.

Important PSA

Don’t punish your kids for having mental health issues. That’s what happened to me and it resulted in me giving up on getting help. When you punish or get mad at your kids for having issues and/or needing treatment or hospitalization it makes them stop telling you what’s wrong. And I know it’s hard. I’ve had loved ones in hospitals plenty of times. But it’s much better to have someone living but in a hospital than have someone dead.

I’m very annoyed with the fact that American news networks only really share the American death toll, 582K, as if Americans are the only ones that matter. It’s just more of our America-centric bullshit. The global death toll is over 3.31M. Let me repeat that. The global death toll is over 3.31 MILLION. 3,310,000. That’s how many people have died. Because Americans, believe it or not, are not the only people in the world.
