Fortunately not, cast iron is damn near invincible. Just a lot of smoke and a brief bit of terror.

Bumped into something sharp and it cut me. No biggie. Except for the part where I haven't self harmed in 3.5 years and it looks EXACTLY like something I would've done intentionally. Mildly triggering. I'll live though.

By stepping back into an abusive relationship and not knowing how to get out without fear of the person committing suicide and leaving 3 children with no parent.

Their choices are not your responsibility.

Their choices are not dependent on your choices.

You choose your own actions. You don't control theirs.

Fear is just a feeling, don't let it control you or stop you. Face it. Deal with it. Don't listen to it.

I decided it was a good idea to do the mandatory university stage while also working this summer, while also trying to pass my last four exams. I greatly overstimaded my capacities and the trust i should have gave to my employee when they said i would be working just some days a week.

Bought a new car on the spot after a test drive. Most stupid decision of my life. It was only a week after I had wrecked my longtime car. Must have still been in some kind of weird mental state, although I felt fine at the time. Don't do that. Do not. Do that. Test drive, think about it, go back if you're still interested. You'll thank yourself.

My work decided to close for Juneteenth, but then I had to come back on Friday, and I told everyone I was going to request that Friday off so I could have a four-day weekend for the price of one day of PTO, and I forgot to do it, so I had to work a weird bizarroland hellscape Friday where we had just had a day off so we have like a little bit more energy than usual, but then the weekend is also about to hit so everyone wanted to leave, but everyone also wanted to get all of their work done, so for me it was just a fucking nightmare.

Bought 2 bananas and 2 apples for work, but forgot to take the receipt. That small 2$ mistake, was apparently enough to make our "smart and automated" accounting system brick itself. Woups.

Just scribble "fuck you it's two dollars" on a napkin and scan that in.

I did nothing to improve my situation
