The what?

HAHA. Yeah, and it’s inclusive but exclusive. (thinking face) Uh… and you apply to join, where before being accepted you get a choice between 2-3 animals that you will be in The Menagerie. So… accept all… but only, maybe, a couple of newbies joining a week. You know, so it’s still a close-knit group and a “secretive” cult.

HAHAHA! Sorry about that randomness I just wrote, I was feeling creative. Ha I should really put this into my writing and not strange/silly cult ideas.

I thought about doing a stupid thing and then did another stupid thing to distract myself. After that, I thought doing a different thing would help me deal with those stupid things but that also turned out to be a stupid thing.

That’s what we were discussing on another thread. Also, it was never said that we’d exclude people, merely slowly admit people

This morning, I was scrolling through stories on Instagram, and was so happy that someone had Sunflower as their background music to promote a new story… until I saw the ‘explicit lyrics’ tag next to it… what???
Sunflower is NOT explicit. It’s literally in a movie for kids… how did it get that tag all of a sudden???

I just read the lyrics and I think the explicit stuff is extremelyyy implied like it’s more than radio friendly and as you said, on a kids movie (a really rad kids movie) but there’s like one line I read that could even be considered explicit

Head up
My Instagram was nearly hacked but I did fix the problem.
Make sure your account on social media isn’t hacked :unamused:

No, it’s not. Not if it is stated from the start that everyone is included, but in the order they asked to join, except at a slow pace. There is nothing wrong with that. What didn’t work about other groups was that they actively didn’t accept people.
Anyway, I don’t want to discuss this further here. Elixr and I did discuss this elsewhere. It has come to a standstill right, and possibly won’t come into pass, so can we please stop talk about it now?

I confess that I found my way back to myself. Well… kind of?

This is a pretty long summary but at least I tried

The question “Who am I?” came up pretty early for me and bothered me a lot. Over the years I went through different labels until the whole “you don’t have to fit into a category or label”-trend got really popular. That made it kinda more difficult for me because I never knew how I should behave. At some point, I noticed that I adapted to the people around me. But not just a normal amount of adapting. If a friend really liked a band that I hated before, my taste in music started to change. Even if I didn’t want that and never did it on purpose, it just happened. But I stopped minding that for a while, I liked the person I was when I adjusted to my friends back then.
However, I didn’t notice how much changed ever since I started going to university. The end of high school was really a big thing for me and university seemed like a big new challenge with lots of scary situations. For some reason, I managed to fit in really well so I never thought anything bad about the whole situation. I even stopped wondering what makes me “me”. I didn’t notice the changes I went through and how much I adapted. Even worse, I did that same thing online, adapting to people around me. So, on the one hand, I adapted my whole being to my real-life friends, on the other hand, I adjusted my online personality to the communities I was in. I didn’t even notice that. Gosh, I even thought I was finally able to be myself.
It started a few months ago that I noticed something was off. I was constantly tired, felt weak and unmotivated. But nobody was able to make me take a break and relax. Until about a month ago, when I found something on social media that made my thoughts go: “I like this but I’m not allowed to like it”. Catching myself thinking that was weird and I decided to just focus on the thing that I liked. I cut back my time for everything else and spent hours doing something that I haven’t really done in years. Not even a week later I already felt so much better about everything again. I didn’t get stressed out about small things and even my overthinking about some issues I had lately was almost gone. I just had a good time. At least a good time compared to how I was feeling the months before that.
Now there’re some things I realised. My preferences, my problems, my goals, they are all valid and I can change them when I want to. Adjusting to others is just a part of who I am and as long as I stick to the right people, it’s not that big of an issue. It becomes an issue if a person makes me feel like I can rely on them and then just seems to vanish from my life. But from every time that I’ve adapted to someone, I learned something new about who I am. That I like writing, dancing, drawing, …, that’s all me. But it’s the things I like when nobody’s around that make me “me”. It’s the things I want to hide from everyone else that make me “me”.
And just being able to come back to something I used to enjoy so much without anyone around me enjoying it as well? That made me feel like I am someone, not just an adjusted version of a human. As long as I remember what I enjoy, I don’t need any labels or categories to find back to my real self (or part of it). And that makes me happy.
