What's Bothering You?

[Zane]

Yesterday I went to bed at like 4pm because there was simply no reason to be awake anymore

 

[. Rarity .]

My upper jaw hurts so much. Whenever I move my mouth. It's so sore, and I'm stuck greeting people at work today.

My upper body is also very sore when I'm standing. I'm gonna be an absolute wreck today

I hope you’re doing better now. Sending you a lot of good vibes. That’s so scary! I hope.

things still are the same about what is really hurting me, but not going to post about it this time. Instead, something with Genshin is really bothering me. I’m not expert on their culture or history (i need to read more and reread some books for a refresher), but now that I am in Sumeru, I see very obvious racism and disrespect to the cultures that inspired them with Sumeru. I’ve read some books on Iran & Persia that helped me get a fairly decently understanding and one not from the typical western imperialist/bully/police perspective. From my understanding, Persia and Arabs were/are very advanced and rich culturally. Their culture, language and history is very fascinating and beautiful to me. While the game does show some of the culture’s richness, I see stereotypes and I think overall Genshin makes them look very backwards and barbaric. i feel like they got lazy when and if thry did any research. most of the furniture does not impress me and the ones I like (mostly the shop and food and tea stalls, as well as the ones used in the cafes and taverns), aren’t obtainable. I hate the house designs (the leaves and the desert ones could be much better). there is more furniture for liyue and inazuma and fontaine (and really nice furniture) than there is if sumeru. the lack of diversity in the game bothers me too as well as how unappealing design wise the guy units look; and the fact there are significant more female units than guys. I still love the game but the racism really makes me mad. While they are much less racist with Fontaine, a foreigner not from fontaine for this current event made a comment that speaks a bit negatively of the “flowery language”. i’ve seen another npc make similar comment. using stereotypes negatively or positively just really bothers me.

Thanks Dun I'll hold those close

There was a winter weather advisory for my neck of the woods, yet we’ve gotten nothing but rain, not a single flake in sight! I am happy I don’t have to go out in it, at least.

My dad caught something at school and is sick, and whenever one of us gets sick, no matter how careful we try to be, it seems like we all end up with it sooner or later. orz Plus I'm supposed to have another followup with my doctor in a few days to make sure I'm still doing well on my medications, but if I'm sick I'm not gonna expose a whole waiting room to this, so it'll have to be either rescheduled or canceled, and mannn I just wanted to get it over with akfdlsksl;

also been feeling very sad for GoodTimesWithScar

Spoiler: tw: pet death

I found out his cat Jellie passed away the other day ;; she was an older kitty than I realized, but it was clear how much he adored her and the poor guy already deals with enough as it is, I feel so sorry for him
in a way it's lovely that one of the Minecraft cats is modeled after her, though I know I'm always gonna feel a little sad whenever I come across a Minecraft Jellie.

I just remembered that I have something on my public records from when I was in middle school and it hasn't gone away. Stuff like that never does, but it's easy to overlook since I was so young. Still, it should've never made it's way on there.

 

[Midoriya]

Thinking about my mom and missing her, and then thinking about my dad and knowing he doesn't have a lot of time left. I'm glad he's here now, but I just know I'm going to be really sad once he passes as well.

I cried a bit, but seem to be fine now.

-Still have a cold.
-Want to hug my nephew but I can't.
-I still have to organize my notes from work on top of researching the stuff that they didn't teach me yet. It feels like I'm in school again but worse.

Spoiler: Meh

I seem to have tonsil stones again and I really don't want another week or two of suffering...
Why is there ALWAYS something wrong??

My mum hates me when I try to ask for help she just gets mad at me

Isn’t it strange how you can be surrounded by people but still feel lonely?

Same here, it's relatable to me too. I was like that the past few days and was still lonely.

Insurance. Dental stuff. Wisdom teeth are really bothering me, but my insurance won't cover a removal. I have Medicaid.. like.. shouldn't something like that be covered?! Insurance claims I'm not in enough pain yet, therefore.. my dentist won't refer me to a dental surgeon to get them extracted. -_- However,, this was about a year ago. Hoping now, since I can't eat, swallow, or drink, without feeling immense pain.. they'll cover a removal. There is also a hole in my gums where my wisdom tooth is... sigh

deleted. sorry. just not in a good place right now; just feeling awful.

I went to the doctors today as for a few days after coming home from travelling, I've been very unwell.

Turns out I have sever tontillitis and chest infection~

So hard to sleep with it, but the new tablets are helping. They say if I get a rash, I would need to go to A&E (due to something from the place I travelled to) but I am fine on that front, and not overally worried on that.

Only problem is, won't be able to go to work for a whole week, and my work doesnt exactly pay me sick or holiday :')

I've just been missing my mom a lot. I still can't believe that she's gone.

Something that's been bothering me is that my brother told me a few weeks ago that I should be over her death because "it's already been 2 months". I know he tends to mask his emotions, but that doesn't mean his comment was right. I honestly wonder what goes through his stupid little head to tell his own sibling to stop grieving for their mom when it's still fresh in my mind.

I feel like I'm gonna faint, or passout. Or just keel over. I am so sore all I want to do is lay down but I'm stuck at work.

That was a really insensitive comment for your brother to make. I have experienced this from people I have known a long time and even my Uncle. There is no time frame as to how little or how long someone should grieve. What gives anyone the right to dismiss someone's grief? My Mum passed suddenly in October 2022 and even though I manage to function, everyday is still extremely difficult. I still have a cry on a daily basis. I miss her so, so much. She was my best friend aswell as my Mum. Tomorrow would have been her 70th birthday. Sending you lots of love and if you ever want to chat/vent then feel free to DM me.

I’m so sorry. No one should make those kind of comments especially coming from a sibling. Grief take a long time and there is no time limit of how you should feel . Grief comes in waves . Sending you healing thoughts and strength.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't even know. I have a elderly neighbor who I sometimes help because she is so old and can't do things herself anymore. So she usually calls me whenever she needs someone to do some yardwork or lift something or whatever. Anyway, she is in her 80s and she has told me that she still misses her parents at her age. I am not sure what or how the conversation came to that point, but there isn't a set time that 'you will be over it' like so many insensitively try to reason or give their unwanted advice. Everyone grieves at their own pace. My messages are always open if you need or want to talk.
