officially out of school now, jobless and ill be 18 in a couple of months. i have friends but theyre all going to college so i know i wont have them for long. everyone had high hopes for me bc i did good in school but they slowly faded as everyone realized i wasnt getting a job or a license as the years marched on. ive been suicidal since i was a kid already, so i know its never going away. even if i did do something with my life id end up the same way. everyone keeps saying life doesnt get better. everyone always jumps at the chance to tell the stupid teenager just how bad life really gets.

but what if i already know how bad life gets? what if i never had any hope to begin with? do you still get pleasure from le epically facts and knowledge owning someone who already has no hope and doesnt intend to see it through that long anyways?

anyways hi r slash neet

i found a baby bluejay in my yard. its in a raised firepit and its been there for several hours. it has a way it could get of the firepit if it wanted, via a metal pole ive seen it perching on. it looks like a fledgling. i have not touched it.

a friend advised me to leave it be while checking on it occasionally, but its been out there for at least five hours now. its going to rain soon, and it rained last night. it was sprinkling a bit earlier and when i checked on it again, its fluff seemed dampened (didnt get a picture of this though.) im a bit worried a cat may get it as there are a lot in the area, but im most worried about rain because its expected to rain heavily soon.

any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you. i do know that i should avoid touching if i can help it.

edit: i saw it hopping around a ton. it managed to get on the edge of the firepit, seemed to not understand it could use the pipe? then i saw a blue bird in the trees. i thought it mighve been a bluejay at the time so i went inside, hoping it was its parent, but i dont think it was. im trying not to worry too much.

edit 2: good news i believe!! it started raining, i RAN outside with a basket in case id need to put it over the bird to keep it dry, and thankfully it was no longer there. i looked around for it some and didnt see it. its likely safe by now.

just graduated

baby bluejay outside, rain soon
