Absolutely Gkpmnot

Every word that starts with an N should have a silent G in front. Gnorway. Gnuclear. Gnervous system. Gnipples.

Sister is getting mad because I keep measuring stuff "wrong"

(I said that a bridge was 5/32nds of a mile long)

Just started a new medication that has a side effect of making me less hungry

Just started my period

Symptoms:

Low blood pressure

Low blood sugar levels

Low blood iron levels

Less able to be hungry (can't notice low blood sugar)

Lightheadedness and nausea ( low blood sugar)

Emotional (hormones)

Homesick (hormones and emotions)

Events that I have to attend:

Birthday party at a Gigantic farm that's 2 hours away from home

So, I am lightheaded and nauseous and emotional and far away from home, and I can't leave.

But I'm going to be okay because I have a friend with me to make sure I take care of myself.

God hates me rn I'm convinced

ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.
