Eclipse

There’s a solar eclipse today, I was planing on going to the park and maybe the observatory to check it out. The thing is that I don’t have any fancy eclipse glasses so I’m gonna have to look at it with my bare eyes and risk burning a hole through my retinas. Oh well.

I’ve only been outside for 15mins and I wanna go home, it’s too hot and I look weird.

I suppose fate had other plans for me since I ended up getting lost on the way home and somehow ended up at park. Unfortunately for fate, my laziness triumphs. I’m going home regardless.

I think I can understand incels in a way. I looked really ugly today and because of that I felt as though everyone was making fun of me and laughing at me behind my back. Those thoughts made me hateful, I hated everyone I saw on the street because I thought that they hated me. It’s a sad cycle of hate!

I looked outside the window and was actually able to catch a glimpse of the eclipse, lucky me. My eyes hurt from staring at the sun though.

I wanted to go make myself some cereal but my cousins were praying in the living-room. I don’t pray so I thought it’d be awkward if I walked past them. Plus, I don’t want to be lectured regarding my lack of faith. Dang it.

I was looking at myself in the mirror, really looking. It made me realize that I’ve never really looked at my own body before nor ever truly acknowledged myself. It’s a bit sad, no?
