Let’s talk about the chinchilla episode!

It ends with Louise giving the chinchilla to Wayne, because… well, why? Because he was moping about the chinchilla running to her? Who the hell cares? It was the class pet, not Wayne’s personal pet, and he had — in his own words — taking care of it every weekend for a year. It was Louise’s turn to take care of him, she wasn’t doing anything wrong!

I like episodes where Louise realises she did something not so nice and makes up for it, like when she takes Rudy’s bridge to him to apologise to him for calling him a weeny, or when she gets Frond’s doll out of the sewer to apologise to him and Gayle. But in this episode, she didn’t do anything wrong, so making her “make up for it” just makes it look like she’s giving in to Wayne’s tantrum.

Idk, maybe I’m taking it too seriously lol

Sorry to the person who posted the original one but those pictures were just not good

I was supposed to graduate high school in 2024, but I failed four classes. So I went to an adult school so that I wouldn’t have to repeat the whole year. Unfortunately, my mental health continued being real bad and I was getting terrible grades again, so my parents told me to drop out and sign up for the next school year, and to get psychological support.

So I started another year, did a different “level” (Dutch school system) so I got to drop math. I got diagnosed with depression around the end of 2025. I’ve been working with various people now and done some support groups (I did one for women with autism and I’m now doing one for people with low self esteem).

I got the grades for my final exams this week and I passed all three! I was convinced I’d have to retake one of the tests but I don’t even have to do that, my average grades are good enough to finally get my diploma!!!

Part of me is a little embarrassed that it took me this long to get it. I mean, it’s part of the reason I have such low self esteem; I’m so “behind” compared to most people my age. But you know what, another (bigger) part of me is saying “feeling embarrassed isn’t going to change the fact that it took you so long, just be happy and proud”, and I think that’s a really big step!

Dinner is a Korean bbq flavoured soy burger with cheese and onions, fries, a salad with beets, paprika and cucumber and a cherry coke on the side. And of course a very appropriate The Middle episode.

Edit: thank you so much for all the sweet comments! I appreciate the support so much 🫶

I’m already seeing one very strong pattern in pics 1-13 but I’m still curious
