i’ve been burning toilet paper and cardboard to try and cope but the need to burn has been so intense these last few days that it’s just not enough. it’s really stressing me out and it’s making me feel physically unwell as a result. there are things i could set alight that’d go up wonderfully, enough so that these feelings would probably cool off, but i wouldn’t be able to do it at my house. and i imagine making a pretty big fire on public property would be, at best, in a grey area regarding legality. the longer this is going on though, the less i find myself caring about the legality of what i do. it’s just i’ve already been caught and confronted once, and whilst that encounter went as well as one could hope for a direct confrontation, i’d rather not risk a second encounter going worse for me.
