i just think that, most of the time, you really do need to teach people how to love you. and equally, you need to be taught how to love others. this can feel scary and hard and even like a failure, especially if you're approaching a relationship with trauma - shouldn't it be easy to love me? yeah ofc. but love is an act of translation between people across experience, geography, culture, memory. it's constant, purposeful translation. and though it can be hard, there is real joy to be found in the teaching and learning of love.

There are those people that want intimate friendships, but really struggle to make and keep friends. If you have people like that in your life, I want to encourage you to not give up on them, to not forget them. Keep at it. Be an unrelenting force of friendship in their lives.

I think something that's often fundamentally misunderstood is teens and young adults appearing to always be on their phones.
It's not necessarily laziness or whatever other negative trait it has been connected to. For many people it's a safe place. The one safe place they have. It's where you go to seek refuge from your natural environment. Especially for neurodivergents, queers, victims of abuse and bullying, and people with disabilities.
You make friends and build your own community, you make memories, you share art, you share life experiences with like-minded people that may be in similar situations and you feel understood. You feel accepted and not judged. You feel loved.
Real life is rough and can be painful but our smartphones offer a different door for us. A door that leads to fandom, to music, to art, to passion and refuge.
So yes of course you choose to spend a majority of your time on your smartphone. Of course you would choose to feel safe and loved. Of course.
It's dry of judgement, it's filled with the warmth of a community that accepts you as you are, it fills your tummy with joy, with thrill, with excitement and love and it provides a safe haven like a roof over your head.
Of course this is where you want to be.
It's home.

I had a dream about Anthony walking Penelope down the aisle and presenting her to Colin 🥺❤️
"Lord Bridgerton, I would like to ask you something... As you know, my father is gone. I have no male relatives beside my brothers-by-law - and you can refuse, of course! But... I would be very honoured if you would walk me down the aisle..."
cue Anthony internally crying

- Claire’s Knee (1970)
☨ In friendship, I find something that's missing in love, respect for other's freedom. It's not possessive.

You know what? Kudos to BSD for being a manga that is so GOOD with the stupid power of friendship trope even amongst its philosophical angst, family feels, and fandom ships. No, I'm not talking about friendship destroying the big bad.
I'm talking about Ranpo extending a hand of friendship to a Yosano that had lost all hope in herself, humanity, and life.
I'm talking about Odasaku reaching out in his last moments to tell Dazai he was his friend.
And about Dazai telling Mori Odasaku was his friend, and feeling angry when it looked like Ango's friendship was based on lies, then letting his friendship with Odasaku spur him to be a good person.
It's about Atsushi and Kyouka building a tenuous friendship starting with her letting herself open up to Atsushi, and him inviting her to look at the city, and her protecting him fiercely when he's in danger.
It's potentially also about Tanizaki insisting they save Atsushi from the Port Mafia.
It's about Tachihara, Gin, and Hirotsu when Tachihara refuses to kill those he has come to call friends despite being a man of orders.
It's also about Kenji's full power being unlocked when his friend died from a natural disaster, and when he heard about Atsushi getting tortured.
And when Kenji snapped out of it to offer a hand of friendship to Tecchou
I'm also talking about Chuuya growing to care about people even though he lost all his friends poor man
It's even about Kunikida and Katai having this deep bond that as of yet remains to be explored.
