    60 Degree Summer

    Spoiler

    60 Degree Summer

     

     

    I’m staring out the window

    Longing for summer to 

    Come.

     

     I’m longing for the bright

    Hazy days of my

     Childhood.

     

    I’m wishing for the simplicity

    Of practically living outside

     All summer.

     

    The running barefoot through the

    Tall grass in the evenings

    With my siblings.

     

    Playing all the games with my dad,

    That old swing I stayed on for

    Hours at a time.

     

    The trips to the beach, waves rushing

    Up around my ankles, the breeze,

    Playing in the sand.

     

    Times were so simple,

    So pleasant;

    Summer. 

     

    Now, it’s still winter, still cold,

    Still dreary and dark,

    Dark and unfamiliar. 

     

    I sat outside in 60 degree weather

    Missing summer so much

    That I cried.

     

     

    Those tears felt so cold,

    So sad and 

    Lonely. 

     

    I’m hoping that I can just

    Hang on until

    Summer.

     

    Until school lets out, when everything

    Is warm and bright and green

    All over again.

     

    Until then, I’ll cling tightly

    To my only hope,

    My 60 degree summer.

    You know when you feel really sick and super tired, and yet...

    Here you are...

    At school...

    That's where I'm at right now.

    I wanna curl up and sleep until my stomach settles and my head stops pounding...

    *raises weak fist*

    Schoolwork.

    Yay.

    Hi people...

    Yesterday I was feeling arty...

    So I messed around with some fine line pen things...

    On a lil envelope...

    here it is

    Spoiler

    IMG_3972.jpg.922e21f0c7f5d9e13ea991deb9e9bd01.jpg

    The front

    IMG_3973.jpg.184cae166d265f5c61d034a3f6fc4764.jpg

    And the back..

    Then... I was looking through my camera roll on my phone and found some absolutely gorgeous pansies

    They were practically begging to be painted with watercolor.

    I'll just say this.

    I'm not a painter, but I like to mess around.

     

    Here's the first attempt at a pansy

    Spoiler

     And here is the reference for that one.

    IMG_3968.jpg.89a4f56563b4a14e97e3f93d322c75b3.jpg

    Spoiler

    IMG_3958.jpg.a600149f66624b9ad0bf23460c47ee38.jpg

    So, that's what I did...

    I enjoyed it...

    I'll post all this in my art thread too.

  10. Hi, y'all

    I got some sad news.

    As maybe a few of you know, my cat was pregnant...

    She went into labor earlier today, and I helped her deliver six kittens.

    Unfortunately, they are too early, and I'm not sure any of them will survive the night.

    One of them was stillborn, so currently, five are living.

    Mamma is doing well, thank God, but the babies are all really tiny and sickly looking.

    Please pray for them.

    If they live, I'll need name suggestions, and feel to reply to this with thoughts, support, name ideas, questions, or hugs.

    Thank you all so much.

    Love,

            Stick ❤️‍🩹

    Henna: My beautiful way to hide.

     

    I've been getting into henna again, my mom is still WAY better at it than me, but I'm learning and I'm ridiculously proud of what I did do.

    Spoiler for pics :D

    2nd day, paste washed off. ^

    It'll keep getting darker for a lil while, then it'll stay, then it'll fade.

    If I'm careful, it could last 1-2 weeks :) 

     

    IMG_3888.jpg.6831c4111f3a565dc49612c956c99f02.jpg

    And, Just for the heck of it, MY ENTIRE ARM!!!!! THIS TOOK AN HOUR AND I'M SO PROUD OF IT!!!

    I USED THE REST OF THE HENNA CONE!!! :D :D 

    So anyway, that was really really fun, and I'm going to get more henna and keep practicing!!

    For those of you who would like to try this, I got the henna paste off of Amazon, and found a few YouTube tutorials about beginner designs and such. Pinterest also has some great stuff.

    It's fairly easy, but it does take practice. I like to trace my hand on a piece of paper, then put the henna on the paper to practice before I do it on my skin. It's an amazing art form, and I'll probably do some symbols from some different books and such at some point :D 

     

    Anyway... I have so much schoolwork to do before tomorrow... even though I just want to procrastinate and go outside cause it's freaking 66 degrees!!! (F) 

    *sigh*

    I hate decisions.... 

    Anyway!

    Love you all!

    Have a good day/rest of your day!!!

    My PMs are open!!!

  15. Oh! Hey guys!

    I'm so tired I can hardly think straight, and have a bunch of homework to do before tomorrow, tomorrow's school, and then all my stuff that's due on Tuesday...

    :P 

    Here is the reason I didn't sleep, if you care to know :) 

    Spoiler

     So, it's kinda complicated, but on Friday night, I had a very vivid dream, and, like most of my dreams, people who I love and care about more than anything, died, and they were either in my arms, or it was my fault, or both. Anyway, that dream was a car-plunging-over-the-cliff-with-my-best-friends-inside kind of dream, and my mom was driving. What caused us to go over this cliff in the first place, was me distracting her by telling her that I forgot all my meds, and that we needed to go back for them.

    Fast forward to the end of the (very awful) dream where I wake up on Saturday morning at 5:30, crying and freaking out. I was eventually able to calm myself down and pack everything for my sleepover at Veil's house. I (having never been to her house before), as you might be able to imagine, had a lot of anxiety about going. I was thinking about a lot of stuff, and accidently forgot my meds, (it's also worth noting that I didn't take my morning dose that morning either) like in my dreams.

    In order for you to understand what this means for the rest of this, here is some additional info :) 

    Spoiler

    So, I currently take 4 meds. 

    1 that is for sleep and to take away my psychosis (important!!) that I take at night

    1 that is for my anxiety and ADHD hat I also take at night

    then in the morning I take an antidepressant and a focus stimulant drug.

    So, without any of these, i can't sleep, can't focus, and tend to have panic/anxiety attacks from my psychosis.

    (aka, ima literal emotional and physical wreck!!) 

     

    So, I found out that I forgot my meds when it was already too late to go get them, and I figured that I'd be fine and to just do without them from about 9:00 AM on Saturday to 2:00 PM on Sunday.

    I'll say this. That is a HORRIBLE idea!! Don't do that!!!!

    So, I was expecting some mild stuff (I.E. some bouncing, attention issues, mild anxiety, and some little indecipherable whispers of little voices in the back of my mind), right? 

    Well, what I got, was:

    Anxiety: Borderline panic for almost no reason, not being able to eat, and shaking uncontrollably 

    ADHD: bouncing, unable to really focus, feeling really jittery, and forgetting/not being able to process things.

    Depression: Not too much,(thank God) I just felt a lil sad/lonely

    Psychosis: REALLY BAD!! I'm talking color changing hats, shadows, vision-like things of bloody things and unimaginable horror (visual), screaming, creepy animal noises, gunfire, artillery, people who I could recognize screaming/yelling at me to save them, crying people, gurgling sounds (blood probably), as well as thumping and footsteps and all kinds of other things that you don't want to hear at night when your anxiety level is already through the roof (auditory) and things crawling on me, at one point a snake wrapping around my left leg, feeling like I'm drowning, like my chest and lungs were being squeezed so I couldn't breathe, and a few more (physical) then there were some miscellaneous things, like smelling/tasting/choking on blood and mud and other things.

    All these things came and went  a l l   n i g h t   l o n g!!

    I was mostly in a constant state of panic and not being able to breathe. Veil, bless her heart, let me "sleep" with her (lay awake trying to calm down more like), and she stayed up for hours helping me, holding me close, and helping me decipher reality from hallucinations.

    Guys, she is my bestie, and I love her so much. I... she just helps me so much and seems to intuitively know what I need. I just needed to tell someone that.

    If she reads this, Veil, thank you. I love you so much.

    Anyway, this went on all night, and I think I fell asleep for a lil while around 5:30 this morning (Sunday) then there was the whole 'I've never been to her church before' freakout that lasted most of church... not my most restful weekend ever.

    I'm finally home, and doing better.

    Thanks for reading and caring if you did :) 

     

    But, I got to watch In The Heights with Veil and it was great!!!!

    I think it should have been rated a bit more mature than PG-13, but that's my opinion.

    I made a new Spotify playlist (I'm Just-A-Stick on there too :)) of all my nostalgic songs that I used to listen to in 1st and 2nd grade... they've carried me through some hard times, and I hope that they can do the same for you, if you would so choose to find it. It's called "My Memories" :) 

     

    Anywayyyy

    I love you all so much!

    Stay safe, stay here, reach out if you need  a n y t h i n g  at all.

    My PMs are open.

  16. You guys know what's mildly terrifying???

    The fact that you can watch the world population grow in live time online... as well as deaths...

    Right at this very second, 147,000 people have died today...

    147,000 families are mourning their loved ones...

    147,000 people with lives, friends, families... and they show up

    As nothing more than a digit on a screen...

    One hundred forty-seven thousand people have died on March 1st 2024

    147,000

    You know what else is crazy? 

    10,135,500 deaths so far this year....

    10,135,500 deaths. 

    That's... I just can't seem to wrap my mind around that.

    And, in the time it took to write this SU, another Hundred people died.

    100 more families...

    100 more funerals...

    10,000,000 tears...

     

    I hope you can get help before you consider adding to that number in any way.

    My PMs are open.

    I love you all.
