I feel the exact same 😭 I actually wrote a piece for a contest where the prompt was something or someone you hated. The vision was petty. And mine was “I Hate People With Siblings” for this exact reason. They also gaslight you into admitting that you had a bad childhood which is like…no 😭

a bit triggering but real

honestly i did not feel jealous of boys upbringing because of how i watched my younger brother growing up he was beat a lot as a kid and as a girl, i was beat maybe like 4x in my life but he got it more often and much worse as a member of the black community i believe that a lot of the older generation saw pain as a tool to create discipline and to be able to withstand that pain meant you were strong and if you could not meant you were weak and required MORE pain at least that how i see it after growing up there is also a layer of PTSD (post traumatic slave disorder) but i wont go too deep into it other than that- my upbringing was also pretty neutral so i had no reason to be jealous i still played a lot with my brother, the boy cousins and my boy friends we wrestled, did a lot of "run if you can" games in the woods, played "adventure" where we would literally get lost exploring and then by some divine intervention one of us would remember how to get back home

Being an enfant terrible

Being compared to Frank O’Hara and probably being the youngest person in my grad cohort is sort of a lot for me

Angelo Badalamenti

i started listen to jazz to help me get my school work done and came across Angelo Badalamenti, he composed the music for most of David Lynch's films, he makes ambient moody jazz but my favorite of his is the theme from twin peaks- fire walk with me. its probably because i love lynch's films but listening to badalamenti's composed songs places me into a different world and can be very different from most jazz but such a nice listen!

i love hue.

it started off as a silly little game and now i'm addicted 💔 no but seriously i am obsessed with i love hue, i finished the game twice and am now playing "i love hue too" (the continuation of the app). its basically just organizing colors and ive noticed a lot of people say when they first played it, it was hard, but as you get good it, it just becomes such a fun little puzzle (though sometimes i crash out and have to ask reddit what i'm doing wrong) but if you see me in public zoned in on my phone, there is probably a chance i'm playing i love hue
