it’s that time of year…. let this serve as your official reminder that dia de los muertos is not an extension of halloween. it’s a very important holiday meant to celebrate and honor the loved ones that are no longer with us. it’s not there for you to probe and pick from for your spooky gothic aesthetic. participate by sharing stories of your loved ones, cleaning off/sprucing up their headstones, and/or placing marigolds in your home so their spirits can find you - not by wearing our culture as a costume. keep their memory alive but keep the appropriation of dia de los muertos at bay !
Help, I’m always daydreaming about places I want to go with my partner and dates I want to take them on, one day when I can really do those things I’ll be so happy I’ll probably be grinning like a dork the whole time
lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.
Fuck. This makes so much sense and explains so much about me. I must have inherited this from my mum.
“I wish I had the time to do that.”
- me, a person who definitely has the time to do that but also has terrible time management skills and most likely to just spend 4 hours getting absolutely nothing accomplished instead of the hundred other things I could and should be doing
I feel personally attacked by the accuracy of this post.
I hope adding unnecessary question marks culture never ends because like??????? I really love it
Do you ever just shut off?? Like you could be feeling okay and interacting with people and then all of a sudden *boom* you’re empty. Not hating yourself, not caring about anything… Just feeling disassociated and indifferent to live around you.
“struggle with depression” would almost seem to imply that i am bad at depression when i am, in fact, very proficient at being depressed
