Next time you think your workplace is weird, please remember that my workplace has an annual tattoo night out, where we rent out a tattoo parlor, order pizza, play cards against humanity, and watch some of our coworkers get tattooed
Where do you work?
A library
Everything about this is fucking great

Can you do one thing for me?
Put a hand on your chest.
Feel your heart beating?
Great.
That is your sign.
You are alive. You are a living breathing miracle and that is something to be proud of.
Whenever life gets you down, or you just need a reminder, put your hand on your chest and feel that beat beat of your heart.
You are alive.
You matter.
Things they don’t tell you about top surgery
- Talk to the surgeon about the size you want your new areolas/nipples (don’t be afraid to ask)
- Numbness. No one talks about this for guys who are about to have surgery. You’re going to be numb all in your chest area, especially where the incisions were. They cut nerves as they pass along your chest, and it can take up to a year to regenerate those nerves. Still, feels super foreign for the first two weeks
- Make your bed into a pillow chair, body pillow, two on each side, and two for your head.
- Sleep alone. I tried to sleep with my girlfriend and it was miserable. You really do need the entire bed for yourself
- Go on Groupon, & get yourself a 10 foot lightning cable iPhone charger, BEST THING EVER, can reach from wherever you are
- Don’t take a week off from work, take two. You will regret the one week, and love the extra time
- When they say “don’t move too much, even after the first week”. LISTEN. I moved way too much and got so sore super quickly.
- Drink lots of water & eat if your taking the pain medication, otherwise your stomach feels super funky.
- Get stool softeners, & don’t be afraid to take those babies. Don’t wait a week to poop. you’ll surely regret it.
- The drains are scary & they may hurt while draining or rewrapping your dressings, but once they come out, the second they do, its no more pain, its crazy.
i hope this helps someone, because i wish i knew all of this when i was having mine a month ago. Looking back its like everyone forgets all the real negatives, its a great experience, & i healed very well & quick compared to most, but the first few days are crazy. They hurt, suck but it gets better.
The less you move your arms in the first week, the less visible your scars will be. Keep your arms close to your body at all times.
ur gonna die anyway so get that fucking tattoo ur parents and friends hate and eat whatever u want
“You’re gonna die anyway, so just set your house on fire and drink snake venom.” This is like the worst life philosophy and you can use it to justify anything.
ok like not to rain on ur parade but getting a tattoo and eating some fries are very different than setting ur house on fire and drinking venom like I see where ur coming from but we were only going like 25 mph u didn’t need to accelerate it to 120 in a second lmao
Having a mental illness is morally neutral.
Having a mental illness doesn’t mean you’ll be abusive.
Having a mental illness doesn’t mean you won’t be.
Having a mental illness doesn’t mean you’ll be a good person.
Having a mental illness doesn’t mean you’ll be a bad person.
Having a mental illness is mortally neutral. It is how you deal with it that counts.
It always cracks me up when neurotypicals are like “if you’re so bothered by everything, how do you even function?” And I’m like, well, first of all, I don’t,
