By stepping back into an abusive relationship and not knowing how to get out without fear of the person committing suicide and leaving 3 children with no parent.

Their choices are not your responsibility.

Their choices are not dependent on your choices.

You choose your own actions. You don't control theirs.

Fear is just a feeling, don't let it control you or stop you. Face it. Deal with it. Don't listen to it.

Fortunately not, cast iron is damn near invincible. Just a lot of smoke and a brief bit of terror.

Bumped into something sharp and it cut me. No biggie. Except for the part where I haven't self harmed in 3.5 years and it looks EXACTLY like something I would've done intentionally. Mildly triggering. I'll live though.

I decided it was a good idea to do the mandatory university stage while also working this summer, while also trying to pass my last four exams. I greatly overstimaded my capacities and the trust i should have gave to my employee when they said i would be working just some days a week.

Bought a new car on the spot after a test drive. Most stupid decision of my life. It was only a week after I had wrecked my longtime car. Must have still been in some kind of weird mental state, although I felt fine at the time. Don't do that. Do not. Do that. Test drive, think about it, go back if you're still interested. You'll thank yourself.

Bought 2 bananas and 2 apples for work, but forgot to take the receipt. That small 2$ mistake, was apparently enough to make our "smart and automated" accounting system brick itself. Woups.

I can see you on the hill
Comatose but walking still
Curves beneath your flowing gown
Only I could bring you down

Why do I keep fuckin' up?
