the struggle isn’t being a good liar during the interview

it’s keeping the lies up after you get the job

making a guide is too kind honestly, if ppl lack the common sense to not be a prick to someone and lack the ability to consider how they’d feel if someone said these things to them, they should be exiled from society. actually i’m surprised natural selection hasn’t gotten them yet

very informative guide tho

What you shouldn't be saying to disabled people

Thanks :)

i really wish platonic relationships were more important. i’m tired of losing friendships because i’m less important than their significant other. i hate that i’m automatically not as close to my friends because i’m not the person they’re dating/sleeping with. and i hate how whenever i complain about it the response is “you’ll find someone too someday!” like no I shouldn’t have to “find someone” to feel loved and important, maybe we should stop promoting investing all your time and effort and physical and emotional intimacy into one romantic/sexual partner idk

legs* but yeah

fuck spotify wrap. let me wrap my arms around you.

strangelilpotato would reblog this, and i must fulfil her wish

I always remind myself if I wasn’t me I would want the things I have now.

You should never have shame about your academic journey. It's a journey. You're growing and learning. You're going to face challenges alone for one of the first times in your life. Shit's hard. It's ok to struggle.

I haven't had a pretty journey at all. I'm graduating with a bachelor's degree at 25. I've been in college nonstop since I was 18. I've failed a lot of classes and had to go part time. So many things have happened. But I will have the degree. And that degree is worth the exact same as someone who got it in 3 years. The knowledge I have is mine to keep.

How I got here doesn't matter. I'm here. I am going to graduate in a few months. I have won this chapter of my life. And to those who try to shame me for how I got here and how long it took, I pray that you never experience the things I have that have made it take long. May you live a life of comfort and luxury and have hands soft as silk until you die. And hopefully I will get the same grace from the universe eventually.

every day i mourn the loss of the person i could’ve been and i don’t know how to stop
