that’s my two cents for the last two few days of October. too many generational video games and Halloween parties to attend for me to be engaged in misery.
I meet so many ppl indoctrinated and conditioned in adulthood to feel like they owe shitty parents or siblings something. yeah you do. your abandonment. you don’t owe anyone that doesn’t value or respect you a single thing.
took me until 35 years old to start feeling visible as a person. cause when you chase overachievement to replace visibility and being treated humanely, it never quells that feelings. you really do at some point gotta say “fuck that” and start living for yourself.
if you have a parent that views you as a burden or mistake that altered their life negatively all you’ll do for the rest of your life is chase their approval through everything you do. this a great visual representation of why you need to heal that shit.
Kathy Bates says she was sure she never thanked her mother in her Misery Oscar speech, then the interviewer showed her the tape
"She gave up her retirement because I was born so late in life to them."
"When I won the Oscar for Misery, she said, I don't know what all the excitement about, you didn't discover the cure for cancer."
"Why did I think I didn't thank her?"
"Because she should have had my life."
"I wanted her spirit to come into me and enjoy everything I was enjoying because of what she'd given up."
Her mom's whole review of the Oscar was that she didn't cure cancer, and Kathy still believed she had shorted her that night. Then she watches herself thank her mom at home, right there in the speech. Some people never stop trying to pay their parents back. You can hear it in how quiet she gets at the end.

also nuts that Modern Warfare 4 is actually good and isn’t even the biggest news with Ocarina and GTA 6 right around the corner lol. what a time.
I don’t think any human being walking this earth should have been given the power to turn anyone into a shell of themselves but hey, I’m a merely a witness.

I think one of the unfortunate things abt being accommodating is that ppl eventually stop recognizing your flexibility as something you're choosing to give them. It becomes the baseline for the relationship. Then the first time you prioritize yourself, you’re demonized
