y’all know that john mulaney quote “the things crazy people say mean nothing to them but everything to me?”
every time i hear that quote, i think about how i got this light-up pen
i got this pen four years ago when i was working as a barista at starbucks. I was on the registers and taking the order of this woman, who ordered a nonfat latte, because she was “watching her weight”
so this guy behind her, whom no one was talking to, for some fucking reason says “wathing your weight? but what about the wait for your watch?“ (which is a completely unhinged response. like just complete Mad Hatter nonsense)
anyway this lady gets really uncomfortable and of the five people (me, him, her, the other checker, and the customer at the other register) who were now sucked into the uncomfortable silence, i decided that i should alleviate the tension by saying “you can’t wait for a watch; you don’t have the time”
and then he said “oh, quick girl!”, gave me that pen, got out of line, and left without ordering anything
I actually can’t wait to get mine, this is such a wonderful concept💕
This post made me choke up and get misty eyed. I have made 7 attempts on my own life starting at the age of 11.
It does get better. It is going to be okay.
Got mine yesterday! Buzzing!
Got mine! Wish I had seen this before I attempted
I have one! It’s super soft and nice! And I get a lot of compliments on it, which also works great as a conversation starter
When I wore mine yesterday, someone saw it and loved it so much that they bought their own right then and there and got expedited shipping to have it delivered ASAP and I was so happy that it brought a smile to their face ❤️ it truly made me feel so good as a suicide attempt survivor to put a smile on someone’s face with something as simple as one sentence on a sweatshirt.
Someone was wearing one in my morning lecture and I literally beamed. I don’t know if it like this for anyone else but seeing it or hearing it from another person just makes it stick more.
ok but i checked out the store and i want one of everything 😭💓🙏✨
I got mine a bit of time ago in the spring. It did serve as an awesome conversation starter and it made me feel so much better while I was wearing it. I’ve had constant suicidal thoughts for years and made an attempt last summer. I haven’t always dealed with my depression well, but buying this was one of the best choices I’ve made. Wearing this sweater helps me believe that someday it just might get better. Someday it’ll be okay. I swear to god, just seeing it in my closet lifts my mood.
Get this. It’s worth it. I promise. It does wonders.
