i think people try their very best at all the times

i think their very best is subject to change depending on conditions, environment & circumstances

as someone who has suffered depression for durations long enough that it ate my dream of motherhood because i didnt want my children to ever suffer the fear of a sick mom, & that's a personal thing, that's not, my recommendation or advice,

im simply saying as someone who has been there, while i dont think i would make a good depression counselor or group discussion leader, my offering to these tweets was to immediately think of this song as a poem

ultimately to say: let the perfectionism rest awhile. lay it down here beside me. the very best is not asked of you. nor is the very hard. neither is 'at all times'

try easy for now. simply try easy. rest. before you grind your teeth away to dust.

i think the absurd can help make a crack to allow some ease of movement

i think the overwhelm in the song poem is relatable to depression space but distant enough to not be too much

i know it hurt to read that people were doing CBT exercises to be able to text back their loved ones. their ~loved~ ones. caught by fear of anger of loved ones as a result of suffering something. worrying about mitigating how angry they might be that you are suffering or have suffered depression. a loved one? how could a loved one feel that way. they are a loved one. they are on your side always. things may get mistranslated. there may be misunderstandings. but CBT exercises to text back a loved one? oh my heart. dont text them yet. it is too soon. rest.

*final note* that i didnt comment on the misogyny or mark's issues does not mean that does not matter or register to me.

who cares about the taste of someone who is overtired & looking for the extraordinary & is carelessly discarding all he experiences at the party cos disillusioned by the event & himself & the landscape.

no group of people assembled has been, or will be, or has ever looked: "all the same" except to the dissociated, alienated, or someone suffering over compression due to disillusionment. it is a really dehumanizing song relative to the partygoers & thus dehumanizing to the authors, too. that work always goes both ways. imagine calling someone else's BODY tasteless. fuck outta here mark hoppus.
