Y'all know how rare it is for me to cry over books, and I was tearing up because I want that. I want that so badly. I couldn't care less if I have some love story with roses and chocolate or whatever, I just want to have that.
It's the new Alice Oseman book, and it ends with

Georgia (who's aro-ace) and her friend Rooney basically having this realization that the grand love story in Georgia's life is their friendship, and how platonic love is no less important than romantic love.
I'd love to read that, though I also think it may be a bit of an uncanny valley compared to my friendship with my best friend. We dated on and off throughout middle and high school because we couldn't figure out if we liked each other or if we like-liked each other. It finally clicked Senior year, and we've been self-proclaimed "platonic soulmates" ever since. We are each other's number one. I'm so lucky to have her.
High-key interested in the book ngl.

I’d try sunlight and hydration, as much contact with people you love as possible, and attempt to make your hours of nothing count; read or draw or find something that gives a spark of meaning.

I signed up for cross country but i have no experience running umm i think im gonna die why did i do this
cross country isn't too bad
just breathe correctly when you run and you'll be alright
I would like to add by saying, Breath right and don't live in a dessert. then you'll be alright.
How do i breath right???
avoid panting, just try to breathe steadily and evenly.

In through the nose, out through the mouth.
Time your breaths with your footfalls.
Slow down if you start to hyperventilate or if you start to get tunnel-vision.
Also for the running part of cross country, you're going to have to develop a run with a spring (aka, bounce with every step). Why? Because the trails are usually on uneven terrain and if you misstep you can quickly recover. If you run flat-footed, like in track, you run the risk of tripping and wiping out on the trail.
Pro tips: When you're running downhill, spread your arms out for balance, and if it's across unstable rocks, run sideways (more likely to slide instead of trip that way). When going uphill, powerwalk. It may slow you down, but it's better than wearing yourself out trying to run up steep and/or long stretches of uphill trail.
(This is advice based off my experience in cross country. I did the sport 5 years ago, so be prepared for your experience to be different than mine)
I’ve decided that I’m going to be doing online courses for school this semester (unsure about next one)
There’s still back to school plans for my province, but I heard some stuff and I’m not gonna take that sort of risk..plus as someone who has a four month niece who visits occasionally and older family members that also visit I’m just…taking that into account.
Plus I heard online courses are going to be like…
Semester one, two classes for September-November then two classes for the rest of the semester
And semester two I think is the same way
Decision just makes me feel overall more comfortable. I don’t think this pandemic is going to go away anytime soon (I think numbers may rise again during September) so doing online seems like a better choice overall, for me at least.
Mine's doing mandatory online school for the first quarter, and I think it's also limiting classes to four a quarter or something as opposed to eight? Idk I was a bit confused by that bit.

Tw suicidal stuff
Spoiler - click to show.
I'm suicidal again. So much so that my arms are burning. I don't know to explain it. It's pure emotion, it makes my body ache. My throat is tight. My chest is heavy. Every time I try to tell my friend it's never a good time. I hate myself. I'm so dependant on others. I don't know if I'm wrong for wanting to tell someone. It feels wrong, since it'll just hurt them, make me self centered. I'm paranoid. So so paranoid I'll mess up whatever little things I'm still living for, or that I ready have. Everything is twisted in my head. This is pathetic. I'm pathetic. I'm literally so fucking disappointed that I'd be so invested in this waste of a life. My body can't take it. My mind is done. I had a panic attack last night but I never "finished" so I think it's being dragged out or "postponed". I hate this. I'm so full of hate. But at the same time I can laugh and joke along with almost anything. I hate the duality. My hands feel like they're gunna burst, but cutting doesn't work for me. I'm not even crying, tears are just streaming. Everytime I think I've figured things out, it all tumbles down worse. I hate myself.
Can’t say more than the usual stuff. This too shall pass. Ride it out.
