notes on preston;;
• preston stewart lincoln; born april 19th; he's an aries
• based off of "where i'm at" by drew gasparini
which is sung by my boy colton ryan
• 16-20 just depends really
• he is the oldest of two and has a younger sister, jasmine, who is incredibly smart and skipped at least a grade if not two, she is also incredibly kind and compassionate and is the type of person who could make you believe in anything and he wants to be like her when he grows up because she inspires him
• "it's so hard to talk when you want to kill yourself" -preston 2k17
•
tw (suicidal thoughts) though he's never been asked such, the reason he wants to die is because there is like a relentless buzzing in his ears that are actually thoughts of self-hatred and feeling like he is helpless and can't do anything about how he's feeling
• takes medication prescribed by a psychiatrist and all it does is slightly numb the emotions he is feeling and, if anything, it makes his feelings of self-hatred even worse
• he doesn't know how to describe his emotions or his depression to other people and he just ends up in a stumbling and stuttering mess
• is told that things get better as you get older but that's not true because that just means more responsibilities and less help from those around him
• all his smiles are fake, you won't ever see a real smile on his face like ever and if you think you've seen a real smile it's because preston has gotten really good at faking it
• on paper his family is nothing but perfect but paper is extremely thin and as thin as his dad views the state of his skin
• his family loves him but he believes they just put up with him
• doesn't eat and when his parents ask him to eat he just stares at his plate because he knows that he'll just throw it back up an hour or so later
• "i have no problem eating, keeping it down is the hard part" -preston to his parents
• scared of his potential and doesn't get how he's essential
• doesn't know anything but does know that he is a literal piece of wallpaper, a cog in a wheel in a machine that's irrelevant, a forgotten puzzle piece
• has enough anxiety to fill a crater in the moon
• tries to block out everything with childhood memories of happiness but he can't block out the mental thunderstom he was thrown into at the start of high school
• feels like he's running out of options or has already run out
• always looks like he's going to cry which is why he fakes his smiles
• wrong or right, no one seems to bother asking if he's alright
• has tried telling people but they just don't understand because he doesn't know how to describe it and just gives up before he actually says anything related to his feelings
• believes everyone is better off without him including his friends and family
please give my son more friends he needs people who care about him please or like a potential girlfriend or boyfriend
