oh my stars

you have no idea how much i needed to hear this after this weekend

seriously

i am like, fighting back tears it means that much right now

I feel like any reply to this would be inadequate, but—

I’m so, so glad that it’s somehow helped. I’m so sorry for whatever circumstances brought this to be relevant, but it is true. TV, distractions, and things like this are not laziness, they are medicine. Taking care of yourself is so important, no matter what people or society will say to you or what aspersions they will cast upon you.

I really wish my flatmates understood this. 

Video games, too. But TV is easier than video games.
