I Don't Even Know How To Deal With My Life Right Now. Nothing I Can Do Except Try To Survive.

Confessions from an emotional abuse victim:

#1 Attention

Sometimes I find myself wanting love and attention, then reprimand myself because a person in my past told me it was wrong. But I have finally realized that human connection is a basic need in life for most people. I shouldn't feel guilty for getting sad when I don't have many opportunities for human connection.

I've gotten so used to either being completely reliant on one person or completely reliant on myself and forgot that there is a different way to live. I can have multiple people I get my connection from without still feeling isolated. I just needed to find the right people while in the right mental state.

Introduction Post

Hi! I'm Iris, I go by she/her pronouns.

I pretty much just created this blog for myself. It's a sort of 'scream out into the void and see if the void screams back' type thing.

From what I've been posting as of now, you can mostly just expect to see text posts about my perspective on life and my experiences, along with the occasional little piece of art or a fandom/meme reblog.

This is all just a sort of creative outlet, so I might be mentioning some heavy stuff about my life (gripes about the Healthcare system, my experiences with emotional abuse, general thoughts about the state of the world, that sort of stuff) so if you don't want to read that, this probably isn't the page for you.

My general interests include the Riordanverse and musical theatre, and that's basically it.

I feel the need to add something else to wrap up the post but I can't think of anything so I'm writing this filler so I can come back and edit when I think of a good ending (This might just be here forever)

And of course, Nico, being from the 1930s, has no idea what they mean and just watches in confusion as they get tackled by the monster that was on their left, before running over and killing it.

*While the 7 + Nico is in a battle*

Nico, trying to warn about the location of an enemy: To the left!

Leo: Take it back now y'all!

Percy: One hop this time!

This might be a day late, but hear me out… [The concept of WOMEN]

can we all agree not to be weird when Nico Di’Angelo’s actor gets announced? if the show stays true to the books, the actor could be under ten years old, a literal baby, so let’s collectively take a deep breath and remember the actors are real people and the characters are completely fictional. we already failed when Annabeth’s actor was announced

cmon everybody, we can do this!

Love how they're trying to get rid of OSHA right while my US History class is learning about dangerous factory conditions from the Industrial Revolution. We hear about how a young girl fell into a machine and was horrifically dismembered, meanwhile there's conversations going on in DC about getting rid of the act that was made to try and prevent that from happening... I think these politicians need to take a 9th/10th grade US History class because clearly they know nothing about what things were like before all these measures they are trying to get rid of.

got real mad reading the news and drew this

Within one day of getting a fitness watch, it has:

1. Called me out on my sleeping habits

2. Shown how I barely move all day

3. Buzzed multiple times because my heart rate got up to like, 160.

I imagine there will be more things to come from this.
