Good reasons to get stronger:

1. Lift girlfriend.
2. Lift wife (someday, I hope).
3. Protect women.
4. Intimidate men.

getting bullied at art school is the worst bc not only are you getting picked on by people who post voltron discourse but every mean thing they say to you is verbatim lifted from a text post you’ve already seen and that has damaged my self respect in a way that nothing else ever could

knowing i am lower on the college food chain than 20 year olds who say “weird flex but okay” and “sure jan” in real life has done irreparable psychological damage

I can’t wrap my head around art school bullies

i said i hate anime and now they want me dead

Oh I thought they were just being mean you didn’t tell me you provoked them

people were writing “hot or not” lists on the bathroom stalls when i was in 8th grade and the dean of students came on the morning announcements and said something i will never forget “we’ve got some bad apples at this school… and it’s applesauce season"

The other day I went to McDonald’s with my family and the guy who took my order was really loud and was basically like “HAPPY HOLIDAYS WHAT CAN I GET YOU” and I was like wow I can’t let this guy outmatch me so I yelled “I’LL TAKE A HAPPY MEAL WITH THE NUG NUGS IF I MAY” you know, like a natural well-adjusted epitome of adulthood 19 year old and he was like “CERTAINLY WOULD YOU LIKE THE MIGHTY KIDS MEAL INSTEAD WITH EXTRA FRIES” and I was so sleep deprived I essentially blacked out and apparently leaned over the counter like I was robbing the place, raised my eyebrow like a suave robin hood and said “HECK YES I WOULD GOOD SIR” and then I sat down and he yelled from across the store “WOULD YOU LIKE THE PURPLE OR BLUE SPIDER-MAN” and since purple is the more superior color that’s how I answered and long story short my parents think college changed me and that I’m now the poster child for being social and I’ve only been asked once why I’m not in a relationship yet but I know it’s gonna be brought up again and how do i tell my parents it’s because whenever I eat in the dining hall I spend the entire time playing bumper cars with the wheeley chairs and all I eat is pixie sticks and the last time I was in the library (where I’m supposed to work next semester, deAr GoD) I ripped my leggings in the bathroom pulling up my pants and I walked the entire 20 mins back to my dorm with my neon underwear peeking out from the holes like a 17th century harlot with a cocaine addiction and I’ve essentially been living off jars of peanut butter and the soundtrack to the bee movie for the past year

there’s more information in this post than there was in the library of alexandria

Wait, so in Gryffindor Tower, if a boy tries to go up the girl’s staircase, it turns into a slide, right? What if one day a kid sets foot on it, but it remains stairs, all the way to the top, and at the top the kid whispers “I knew I was a real girl”

You’re healing every time you

• get out of bed because there’s something you’re excited about.
• don’t think about people who left.
• clean the clutter in the room and dishes in your sink.
• smile at yourself and random people.
• do something kind and out of the blue to make someone happy.
• work out or meet with friends even though you have no energy to.
• calm yourself down when your thoughts race.
• remember to drink water.
• don’t dwell on things you can’t control.
• do things good for yourself, even though you have no motivation.
• tell yourself that you’re growing from this, and you won’t feel like this forever.

the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i don’t give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!

it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thing—and then show it off or gift it.

and then so people my age say to me ‘well—i can’t draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.’ yeah, well duh—a part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. u’ll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you can’t stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.

making things have improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.

take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.

Hobbies cost money, Helen.

Do you eat? Then you can have a hobby.

Can you see green outside? Can you get some dirt? Then you can have a hobby.

Do you have a pen and paper? Hobby.

Something with a keyboard? Hobby.

The ability to walk? Hobby.

Get creative and don't be a pessimist is step one Barabra. 

Acting like it’s easy or simple to have an ENJOYABLE hobby on zero budget is a puerile view that shifts the blame for the unhappiness of people trapped at the bottom of a dehumanizing, vicious system. Its possible of course. There are people who are into things that can be done cheaply, and that’s great! But not everyone takes joy in the things that can be done on a budget of next to nothing, and we shouldn’t EXPECT people to!

Might as well lie down and die then! God forbid anyone try to better themselves.

Have two feet and a heartbeat? Go for a fucking walk, do some pushups, volunteer to play with shelter dogs.

Have two hands and a heartbeat? Sketch. Napkins are free, steal a pen from your job, voila! Picasso.

Have one hand and a pacemaker? Might I recommend composing music on garage band?

The Y offers low-cost social classes. There are also coding classes online. Turn a hobby into a job!

Your computer has a microphone. Start making podcasts.

Crafty and bedbound? Try watercolours; they’re available at the dollar store.

Granola hippy? Get a towel, find a floor, queue up a yoga tutorial on YouTube. Namaste.

Garden witch? Dollarstore pot and a small bag of potting mix. Take your old head of lettuce, keep the bottom wet for a day, put butt of lettuce into dirt. Voila. Salad. Mint works well and is likewise indestructible.

Not into sports? Read books online. There are thousands of classic titles available. Internet got cut off? Library. Illiterate? Perfect — there’s your project. Or: books on tape, available at your local library, for free.

Look — I don’t take joy in my commute and I wish I had a helicopter to take me everywhere I wanted to go. But whining about my misfortune doesn’t solve my problem, and neither does this defeatist attitude.

If you have the time and tech to scroll this website, you have the time to develop a fulfilling hobby.

Anything else is just wallowing in your own misery because the alternative — trying and failing — is too daunting.

Oh well. Life is daunting. So either get it done or get it over with; it does not get any easier.

Lmao y’all are really over here assmad at the very idea of bettering your lives in any way. It’s kind of pathetic.

General cost of my handicrafts:

Acrylic Yarn: $2

Pair of knitting needles: $3

Knitting tutorial: Free w/internet access

Knitting a basic scarf: $5 total

Embroidery thread: about 50 cents each

Aida cloth: $5

Embroidery needles: $1

Pattern: again free with internet access

Embroidery project with 3 colors: $7.50

Macrame bracelet with embroidery thread: $1.50 with those same three colors

It’s not expensive y'all just lazy.

But Viking, I don’t have the patience. Crafting is the only thing I personally have any real patience for.

Well, I don’t have the time. Do you have the time to watch something on tv? You can multi task: watch your show and craft. I’ve been doing that so long that it feels unnatural if I’m not.

I can’t I’m depressed. It’ll help with your depression trust me.

Again, why better your mental health when you can just be lazy.

Also to do art as a hobby you don’t need shit else other than a pencil/pen and some paper. Hell, libraries pretty much give out scraps of paper for free and printer paper doesn’t cost that much, a pack of 500 sheets will cost about 5 - 8 bucks depending on where you live, and just about everyone has a pencil or a pen… If not, steal one from work, if that isn’t possible, you can literally pick up a 12 pack of pencils or pens for a buck from the dollar store. 

You can look up coding classes for free on the internet, Duolingo is free for learning a new language, Mangolanguages is free if your library provides it, hell you can pick any hobby… Singing, dancing, game design, programming, design, music composition, etc. and I can guarantee you that there will be at least one tutorial available on youtube, and at least one free program for it. 

Hell if you got any type of internet connection you can pick up a hobby. Even just researching something you’re interested in whether it be weaponry, dance, music, art, clothes, fashion design, animals, pets, etc. is absolutely free on the internet. 

Hell you can even pick up a hobby like roleplaying or writing and all you need is a blog and google docs to write shit in and singing up for AO3 is free. 

You don’t need 2,000 dollars and be rich to start a hobby. If you want to pick up something that requires something a bit more expensive like a guitar or musical instrument, 1. look for second-hand sales, 2. look on amazon. you can buy a cheap guitar for like, 40 - 80 bucks, 3. open up separate savings account to save up money, 4. Ask a friend/family member if they have one you can use/have or ask if they know someone who has one that you could use. 

Not only is the third one fulfilling, but you can reach a goal and feel great! even if you only put 5 dollars in it a month it’s still something omg holy shit!!

Like very few hobbies are actually expensive to start. When you are starting a hobby, especially if you are just starting a hobby, you don’t have to go balls deep with the most expensive shit that you can find. If you want to do art, you don’t have to start with a 50 dollar brush, 300 dollar paints, and a 70 dollar canvas. If you want to learn music, you don’t have to buy a 2,000 dollar instrument right off the bat and 500 dollar editing program. If you want to learn how to sew you don’t have to get a 300 dollar sewing machine and fabric that is 50 bucks a yard. 

being able to live and be happy on a budget is not some lie that Corporate Rich People ™ came up with to look down on and laugh at poor people for being unhappy. In fact, all too often, (and I grew up poor so this is experience) poor people make the excuse of “I don’t have time” or “I don’t have money” whenever the topic of self-betterment comes up. Learning how to budget? No time or money. Researching some cheap and tasty meals? No time, no money. Hobbies? No time, no money. 

I swear people complain day in and day out about their lives being shitty and depressing and then take every damn opportunity to never even so much as consider fixing it because “I don’t have money! and I’m too depressed!” like damn. It isn’t some system that is keeping you miserable, it is yourself, especially when you take every opportunity to never improve or try to fix your life or even make it 2 percent better
