    Oh hey there past me: just a slice of advice. That’s not how you do it. Get to know yourself, will make a world of difference and you wont have to sob at the mirror at night anymore. (And gtfo of church already)

      Hesitant on giving advice on what worked for me because I doubt its easily replicable. But fuck it let’s try.

      Leave school with shit results, have your parents divorce because of you and sell the house you live in leaving you to having to find somewhere to rent on way below poverty wages. Rent a single bedroom in a shared house with communal bathroom and toilet, there is no living room or parking but that is OK because you can’t afford a car anyway and have to walk/cycle everywhere. Start drinking with the other guys living there. Some pubs in town are expensive so drink several pints before going out and only get a single round at the pub.

      That was a significant improvement compared to school.

    suicide or suicidality? subtle difference. “my suicide” suggests failed attempts of the past, whereas “my suicidality” suggests potential for a successful attempt yet-to-come. or it could be intentionally ambiguous to represent both. relatable <3

      I read it as “joke about ([my mental health] and [suicide])”, not “joke about my ([mental health] and [suicide])”

    🤣 this reminds me about the time I knotted up a hangman’s noose and swung it over the rafters only to realize that if I hung myself I’d likely break the truss and force the roof to cave in on me which would injure but not kill me.

    man…youth is so silly. right???
