Thank you, I needed this.

Dr. Omoikiri!! Congratulations!

Frozés for the win.

It would be interesting to hear some takes on this.

I have a car that is going to be 20 years old next year. No longer a teenager. In July, the battery died. My mum’s hypothesis was that vacuuming the car and having the doors open for an extended period was what caused it, because we had changed the battery only a year prior.

A couple of weeks ago, I vacuumed the car. Then I didn’t drive it for a few days. It wouldn’t start. Dad says something about “phantom amps” and suggests that the Bluetooth FM transmitter plugged into the cigarette lighter could be causing it. Car has been jump-started and battery will hopefully be okay.

Both parents say it’s an old car that’s never been amazing with batteries. Or we’ve just had a run with shit batteries.

I’m just perplexed.

Yeah I do! It’s making me more intentional with my social media use and stopped me from comparing myself to people that I know that are doing all sorts of fun things whilst I’m here not doing that. Would recommend if you are interested in doing the same.

I just unfollowed every account I’ve followed on instagram. Not following any accounts. Don’t know why I did it, but I did. Today has been weird.

Also a couple of days ago, I spoke to bar guy about the playlist thing and he said that lyrics are the last thing that he listens to. He eventually figured out that I was trying to convey something through the lyrics and he told me he loved me for the first time. That was cute.

I also found out that I was known as jukebox girl at the beginning by a couple of his friends because he didn’t wanna say my name.

It was my partner’s birthday yesterday and I made him a playlist called songs that convey how I feel about you.

He listens to one song on the playlist and tells me it was a pretty solid playlist. However, regarding the two heartfelt Taylor Swift songs on the hour-long playlist, he tells me I should switch them out for insert other songs that do not convey the same meaning as the Taylor Swift songs at all because they were “better”. He didn’t listen to the songs.

Maybe he’s just not a lyrics person, though I’d think the title would convey that the lyrics are important. It sucks that I’ll have to explain that and also that we are probably not on the same wavelength. I’m debating ending it.

Me too with the blueberries. I enjoy a punnet a day at this point.

So I’m going to get tested for coeliac disease. If it turns out I do have it, it’s gonna be a little tricky to navigate at first, but I’m happy to give up pasta and bread if it means I have a better quality of life.

Yes, those are the words. Do you have any tips?

Whenever we pass one, I get so tempted but I hesitate.

I’ve been thinking about saying the special three word sentence to my boyfriend, but some things are making me apprehensive. We haven’t been dating for that long (only three months) and I don’t say those words to just anyone. I might feel love towards him, but to me, love is also a commitment that you make with the other person. Seeing as it’s still very early days, our future together just seems not too certain (but people can change at any point).

I have decided that one of the presents I’ll give him for his upcoming birthday is a list of things I like about him and I might slip it in there :)

So disappointing that the government spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this referendum only for the majority of people to vote no (well if the ABC have called it right). I’m interested in seeing what the government does next.

Why the fuck do mining companies get a voice in parliament but the oldest living culture in Australia does not?!

Tried talking to my parents about how shit my mental health is.

I only got to talking about how I feel, not some of the things that were bothering me and was met with,

“Grow up!”

And

“Oh no, is an ant crawling on you again,”

And

“Just get off social media,” (which I have reduced my intake of)

So I don’t know if I’m just bad at communicating how I feel. I think it’s because I got emotional, and that made them might’ve made them feel threatened.

Absolutely agree.

Now I have to think about what I want to do…

Today I also learnt fig wasps exist and my mind is blown a little, nature is insane.

I’m at the point of no sleep where I want to drink toilet cleaner and die. But it’s not a fun way to die.

If you choose to talk about something to someone that they don’t necessarily care about, the whole subtext is sharing how you’re feeling, right?

Ok I didn’t phrase that very well. What I don’t like is how I listen to people’s shit and am patient with them, even if I’m not necessarily interested in the topic, yet other people wouldn’t do the same for me.

Is it not a basic human decency thing to do?

I thought this was the Melbourne page.
