Stream of Consciousness
Fuck It. Content Warning.
We should be able to share life's disparities with people we are close to without having to cover ourselves up in a blanket of toxic positivity. I am not always fine. I am not always feeling well. My skin gets ashy as fuck sometimes. Sometimes people don't tell me when I have a booger in my nose, and I walk around all day looking disgusting. I am not always happy, but that doesn't mean that I am sad. I can have inside joy, but my face resembles a resting bitch face. Please, stop harassing me with the "are you alright" questions, and on the flip side, if I express my struggle and pain, don't just tell me "it'll be alright." It's quite ridiculous. I hate having to be anything other than me.

Life can get boring
I don’t remember a time when I was bored out of my mind for over an hour. It certainly happens from time to time, but really never lasts long enough to be concerning. Either I’ll fall asleep or I’ll just get something productive to do with my time, but never do I let myself sink into boredom for too long. This time around my life didn’t get boring but I kind of saw that in the lives of others. I saw some people not know what to do of their day and basically waste countless hours of their time doing something they were not interested in.

Forgotten Memories: The Heart of a Village Home
--- We bought a house in the village from a young couple who said their parents no longer needed a dacha, and their grandmother had passed away a year ago. After her death, no one visited the house except to sell it. When we asked if they wanted to take any belongings, they shrugged and said, “Why would we need this trash? We took the icons. You can throw away the rest.”
