That’s fair. You’re allowed to have a different opinion.

But the problematic origins bother enough people *just* enough that it’s a genuine concern.

Their opinions are equally valid.

YouTube video by Minnie Driver - Topic Invisible Girl

My bestie was obsessed with the album.

I was obsessed with this song… it were me.

youtu.be/yKH2wxXu5hs?...

Little did we know…

Obsessed with that song as a teenager, along with “Invisible Girl” by Minnie Driver:

Heart shines like a neon sign
For tonight won't you just be mine
Invisible girl, in the sodium light
She's the Queen of the Night

… it tracks. I understood myself before I understood myself.

Clowns that only let you know
Where you let your senses go
Clowns all around you
It's a cross I need to bear

All this black and cruel despair
This is an emergency
Don't you hide your eyes from me
Open them and see me now

Can you see me now?
Can you see me now?

A dark, minimalist album cover for the song “Clowns” by t.A.T.u. The background is nearly black. In the upper right corner, the artist name “TATU ~ CLOWNS” appears in a small, typewriter-style font. At the center, the phrase “Can you see…” repeats and rotates in a square formation with varied font sizes and orientations, creating a disorienting, looping effect. In the bottom left corner, there’s a small, cropped black-and-white photo of part of a woman’s face, mostly obscured by shadows and hair. The overall mood is eerie, vulnerable, and emotionally intense.

The lyrical content of this song was so criminally underrated, honestly.

See me here in the air
Not holding on to anywhere
But holding on so beware
I have secrets I won't share

See me here pushing you
If I then deny I do
Contemplate or wish away
If I ask you not to stay

Hello, I’m a nurse in a medical drama.

The doctors do everything for us, and hospital administrators are super chill and cool people.

I’ma follow the rules, but if they’re stupid rules, I’m gonna probably follow them annoyingly.

Coming out of freeze response be like…

It's the weekend

As a wise man once said, "Take care of yourselves, and each other"

My nine year old randomly asked my husband: “Why do people use dating apps?”

😂😭🤦🏽‍♀️

And then proceeded to lecture him about why people shouldn’t do that bc you don’t know the person you’re talking to and how she doesn’t know why people would do that.

I love kids, man.

I had so much success in adolescent psych bc I didn’t feel threatened by a kid questioning my authority.

I just explained myself.

Wild thought, I know.

✨rumination✨

It’s interesting bc I’m never a problem for people who have a capacity for depth and who aren’t afraid to ask clarifying questions.

I thought it was more of a developmental disorder but of course people would turn it into that.

It’s a phenomenal read for anybody who’s ever dealt with emotionally immature parents.

Meanwhile, this may help you survive the toxicity in the moment:

One of the worst parts about humanity… how the worst of us can just blend in so easily. And everyone will say after the fact “We had no idea!”

Perfection or bust 👌🏽

YIKES 😭 you deserve way better.

As a mom, if my kid came to me and said they had been SA’d, my first question is: “But where do they live? Asking for a friend.”

You deserve protection.

Have you ever read “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents”?

… this is a beautiful analogy, actually.

And tell em GET WREK’D (by healthy boundaries, thankyew).

Hahaha… the mantra for 2025 is “Stay mad.” 🤷🏽‍♀️

Meanwhile, I will gleefully be forgetting their existence.

When you are an unconditional giver, you naturally attract leeches.

That’s it.
That’s the post.

PSA:

If they don’t even notice/believe you are doing the work [mental, emotional load, etc] for them…

THEY DO NOT DESERVE YOUR WORK.

Respond accordingly.

“Honeychild, I am NOT your mama, so I will not be performing emotional caretaking for you today. Be blessed.”

I despise when people take me out of my character.

It often happens when they confuse assertiveness with aggression.

Or when they target the vulnerable and think they can get away with it.

Maybe one of the most humbling things I did was go somewhere I didn’t know the language (and hadn’t bothered to learn any) bc I was a pompous American expecting everyone to be able to accommodate me, just like they do at cruise ports and all inclusive resorts.

Lolololololol.

They told us to self-regulate.

Alone.

Independently.

Quietly.

But we’re autistic.

Sometimes we need another nervous system to settle ours.

A calm voice.

A steady presence.

A shared rhythm.

That’s not weakness.

That’s co-regulation.

And we all need it.

It’s not “less than”.

Perfection. No notes.

I, too, like to ruin everything Schneiderlodeon by pointing out how thoroughly he’s ruined actual living human beings and wrecked the lives of countless child stars.

So maybe I didn’t turn out okay, either.
