half my leg went numb for about a week for no reason at all, i deemed it not hospital worthy
Being disabled means experiencing something terrifying health wise, but being uncertain if it’s hospital worthy
Rack
I want to play a game with you all.
You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.

your friends think about you, y'know? they smile and think about goofy shit you've said. they pray for you. they smell your perfume in a shop and think of you fondly. they tell anecdotes involving you to strangers and friends. they remember the way you hug or bite or high five and want to repeat it with you. they love you. i promise.
Standing in the pasta aisle eyes closed trying to picture the mouthfeel of different pasta shapes with perfect clarity in the theater of my mind
go! through! every! rack! i mean it! flip through every piece of clothing one by one. 90% of the time people complain about not finding anything is because theyre just skimming the racks
went through every rack? great, now go do it again!!! its so easy to miss things, and ive found some of my favorite pieces by doing a second sweep. this especially applies to sections that youve found good pieces in
sizes are a construct!! i've found things that are xs and things that are xl and theyve both fit perfectly. look at all sizing sections and dont be afraid to try things on, the worst that can happen is that it doesnt fit. (remember- clothes are meant to fit you, not you fitting your clothes♡)
that being said, seriously, try! things! on! i know it sucks and ive always hated it but its worth it to avoid buying things that end up not fitting or not looking how you imagined
be careful buying things with the intent to alter them, even if its as simple as shortening/hemming. (will you really get around to doing it?)
go through everything youve grabbed At Least Once before you check out. i usually do twice. genuinely ask yourself if youre going to wear it, and make sure that youre not spending money on things that will sit around and/or end up donated again
thrift stores can be gross. please wash your clothes and wash your hands when youre done
resellers suck. i know.
finding designer/name brands while thrifting is fun!! obsessively combing through every store in your area just for name brands is not
reminder that thrifting isnt just something thats "quirky" or fun to do. with the cost of living being insanely high, lots of people (like me) are getting the majority of their clothes secondhand because we cant afford the crazy prices elsewhere. being broke and wanting to look cool are not mutually exclusive
call me crazy but paywalling content whose fan base is 90% teens and young adults in the middle of a recession seems like a bad idea
