i used to be so good at school, all the effort i put into everything and the constant hd's i took for granted
and now i'm sitting on a credit average and i'm realising that the whole identity of 'smart' was only in comparison
i used to devine myself by my smartness and kindness and now i'm around so many smart people that the former doesnt matter, and the lattr, well. i'd hardly call myself a kind person anymore.
just. i feel like i'm falling behind. and i know i should be inspired by all the intelligence but i just feel inferior, like i'll never measure up. i'll never again reach the standards i used to have. i feel behind and i feel like i'll only get further behind and then i'll just be nowhere.

depression =/= constantly feeling miserable every second of every day
like any mental illness it is so much more complicated than that and just because i have times where i am over the moon with happiness it doesn't change the fact that i have depression
(depression doesn't mean i've lost the ability to feel happiness, but it's made the feeling a lot more temporary.)

why are boys so gross
i thought i was through with this after high school. for some bizarre naive reason i thought i'd seen the last of the gross sexism, blatant objectification and casual homophobia but nope. ofc not. still surrounded by guys who see women as sex objects, who take pleasure in belittling female celebrities, who usw gay as an insult (really though, really?) who don't give a single flying fuck about all the women who don't meet up to the impossible ideals.
it's sick and it makes me sick and it is so, so difficult to be around people who have such gross ideas about your whole gender. and if you say anything they'll call you crazy and overreacting, one of those Crazy Feminists. but when it's either that or absorb the toxicity, i'll take Crazy Feminist anyway.

You can't solve people's problems, and you can't take them on as your own. Nobody expects you to solve their problems, and nobody expects you to drain yourself trying to help them.
Nobody expects you to put them before yourself.
It's a hard lesson for me to learn, but that makes it all the more important. You need to take care of yourself first before you can take care of anyone else, because otherwise you won't be able to take care of anyone, including yourself.
I need to remember this. I need to remember this.
last night i got buzzed from one glass of red wine.

but it's still better than being alone with it, you know?
like it is definitely something i'm proud of - the fact that i'm able to reach out to people and tell them what's going on and when something is happening. that i can open up to people at all really, because it's easy to become isolated in situations like mine.
i realise i haven't gone into specifics on this blog and there are probs people reading this who don't actually know what's happening, and what's causing the situational depression & anxiety (naturally situational implies there's an outside cause) and if you're reading this then it's more likely than not that you're someone i wouldn't mind telling, so hmu if you like.
deciding whether or not to tell someone is one of the harder parts because i'm always wondering how they'll take it, and whether i really want to spill my life story out to them. also it tends to be really out of the blue? i'm good at keeping up the facade and i almost invariably get shock and 'i had no idea' and it does feel like i'm burdening them.
i'm getting better at realising that i'm not, and that the people i tell appreciate knowing and the implicit trust in me telling them, and that they'd rather know than not.
...hah, writing that just made me realise that it's not often really think i don't want them to know, because i tend to really trust the people in my life. i think that's something i like about myself too. or maybe i just have this tendency to attract really good people? either way.
i can't remember what else i wanted to cover, so i'll just end it here.
it's not something i ever really doubt; my insecurity tends to stem more from wondering if i deserve it, whether i've done enough to be worthy of it, but i think i'm getting better at that too.
porque no los dos indeed
getting the diagnosis was actually the hugest relief to be honest; it was like this realisation of 'holy shit there's actually a cause for this and i'm not just being a lazy emo teenager'
it was like validation that there's a reason for what i'm feeling and it's an actual issue that can be dealt with and not just some personality flaw, and that was big.

also the scariest thing about capitalism is that it actually works exactly the way it's supposed to: it functions by marginalising a whole group of people and it relies on keeping them marginalised to continue functioning. it is VERY effective at making it impossible for that group to achieve what others believe they have 'earned' - if it were simply a matter of them ~~'working harder'!~~ capitalism would literally fall apart on its ownhillarman's a+ comment on this post

because if you're not doing well then obviously it's your own fault
it allows the rich to feel comfortable and self satisfied with the knowledge that they deserve their lifestyle because they have earned it, while the poor aspire to an impossible ideal that surely!! surely they can reach if they only work harder!!, but this ideal is impossible, it was never going to be a fair go
because the capitalism is fundamentally flawed and has the most marginalised parts of society shoulder the blame for a system that was already broken to begin with.

so i don't think there have been any side effects, except for it knocking me out after 30 mins (which tbh i could totally get behind)
i did start feeling incredibly anxious over maths but that's not out of the ordinary, i've just gotten better at noticing it.
i won't lie, i'm looking forward to seeing how it affects me

so we have a group for chem students in our subject right, and last night i made this post:
if you're struggling with functional groups then have this flash matching game! good for the ridiculously competitive, try and unseat that douchebag ChemNewbie from their high score, and learn on the way to domination, or something
n.b. it includes all the groups in our course except alkyl halides, sooo make sure you learn that :)

it has lucy liu
like what else do you need
i have like, 3000 words OTL i'll try and get at least 10k done this month.

and it's also obvious that i'm not white either, i don't feel australian, i don't fit in either culture and it sucks because it feels like i don't really belong anywhere

but i think one of the main ones is that i trust very few people to be parents at all and i genuinely think most people probably shouldn't have kids
especially when having kids is often such a selfish decision

but then, familiarity isn't the same as liking it, and it doesn't outweigh the fact that it's over an hour's commute for minimal pay to do a stressful lunch-hour shift and deal with shitty customers.
i got into a routine in the summer holidays, for nearly two months i was just working like 4 or 5 days a week, and it was great, i had nothing better to do with my time and it was good to have somewhere to be...but then uni started, and i had like over 2 weeks without a single shift, and then i had to come to work once a week on my day off, and it was just annoying because hey, a whole day wasted for a 3-hour shift.
i realised it didn't fit in my life anymore, nowhere near a priority, just really annoying. i can see why people get summer jobs now, that's basically all it was.
no regrets leaving.

so this week was spent in coloured stockings and purple lipstick and that part was great yepyep. i got complimented on my green stockings on tuesday which was very noce. also purple lipstick makes me feel badass
spent all of yesterday at work and two of our trainee managers had their assessment DR thingo yesterday!! so we all had to be on our best behaviour etc. i spent a lot of time cleaning which i complained about while i did it but hey it's not dealing with customers.
omg. my till was A SINGLE DOLLAR DOWN WHY. deletions were good too like 3 percent. aw yeah im pretty proud.
one of the managers is gonna go work at the new swanston st kfc, while the other is staying. she is super nice i am glad the ratio of cool managers at work is rising.
ALSO I TURNED 17 WHICH MEANS 2 DOLLAR PAYRISE. YEAHH
and today was a good day! i like days with both maths and chem, cos i love maths and love my chem lecturer. also i went and sorted out my moving out of socio and into physics, which was really quite easy. UNI. THE FLEXIBILITY!!
so now to spend the weekend doing all my uni work. i'm looling forward to it.

wow it's so easy to miss days of posting ok I think it's time for a life update
well I just survived my first week of uni! it's... it doesn't feel too different? idk maybe I've gotten used to lectures quickly.
atm I'm liking my science subjects more than my arts ones cos ARTS SUBJECTS ARE SCARY. like gah the assessment makes me nervous. science subjects are straightforward there's always gonna be one right answer and I like that.
made friends hooray :D
haven't worked for a while and starting to be meh about it....
AND I'M 17 TOMORROW AHHHH

because that's how it feels when things get really bad. it's not just feeling sleepy from a long day. it's a bone-deep exhaustion of life and of existence that overtakes your entire being. it's not caring if you don't get to be happy ever again as long as you don't have to feel sad or angry or anything at all anymore. it's feeling like you're stuck in the same spot forever as everything catches up to you and the walls close in and the ground opens up.
and it's really tiring.

wow what a terrible photo
but anyway, this is Watermelon Lollipop by Demeter Fragrance Library, a brand that caught my attention a while ago when i was looking for watermelon perfume.
DemeterFL, Inc. is a Great Neck, New York company that sells fragrances based on familiar, "everyday" scents, such as dirt, tomatoes, and chocolate chip cookies. The fragrances are intended to be an evocative, "idealized" representation of these scents, which Demeter calls "single experience fragrances"
maybe it's just me but that whole concept sounded rad as heck, and so for the past month i've been meaning to go to Kleins Perfumery in Fitzroy (to my knowledge the only place i can get it; ebay was an option but i wanted to smell them first)
it was only today i got my chance; dragged Mish along with me, and eventually located the store. oh man, they weren't kidding about everyday scents.
the small amount of testers the store had (maybe 15?) included thunderstorm, ocean, pure soap, rain and brownies. Demeter perfumes are supposedly not very lasting but they lasted a fair while; my right hand smells like marshmallows, my arm smells like dirt and my left arm smells like wet grass. the scents are so realistic it's actually kind of annoying because i spent two hours smelling like a garden.
anyway, i eventually got the one i came for, Watermellon Lollipop which in my opinion smells delicious, absolutely juicy and fresh watermelon. more like watermelon candy or watermelon chewing gum maybe? i'm very happy with it, though it's a little sugary so i might not wear it too often. $29.95; i can't comment on the price because idk how prices for things work? i do know that i don't like spending more than $20 at a time hah.
but yes. i will enjoy walking around smelling like watermelon.
spent 2 hours exploring the whole of Melbourne Uni Parkville FRICK WHY IS IT SO BIG
then had sushi for lunch
then went hunting for this shop i've been meaning to go to and nearly got lost down the wrong street except Mish has an actual sense of direction. thank u for ur epic navigation skills bro i am so glad you were there. i wouldn't want to be lost alone in St Kilda.
then got bubble tea and headed home. so much walking but what an awesome day :'D
HELGA NACHO February 22, 2014 at 9:41 AMcan you give extra plastic bags??? or an information brochure folded into a tiny sailor's hat???i feel sad because if customers are nice to me at coles there's nothing i can do :'( except smile more or something?? idk

met up with Chelsea at the Glen and got watermelon w/ fruit jelly bubble tea and then dumplings and noodles and then wandered through a bookshop and got an amazing chocolate souffle from Max Brenner's with strawberries and cream and wandered around JB HI-FI and got Coldplay's Parachutes for just 9.99 and chilled and chatted and yay awesome friends
and got mango milk tea which was also delicious except maybe one bubble tea is enough for one day because i'm still full and haven't had anything to eat since
BUT YES AWESOME DAY THANK YOU CHELSEA WHENEVER YOU READ THIS

that's what worries me about uni subjects. 3 years ago i didn't even know i liked history, turns out i really do.
but like, i'm still 16. am i going to be the same person i am now at 20? quite obviously not.
am i going to care about what i'm doing now?
i just hate the thought of wasting the time and effort. but i guess i can't really do anything about the future. i can just do what i want at this present moment really.
