You crossed this line

Do you find it hard to sit with me tonight?

I've walked these miles, but I've walked 'em straight lined

You'll never know what was like to be fine

Don't you know that it's only fear

I wouldn't worry, you have all your life

I've heard it takes some time to get it right

Love when sad slow break up songs are written with so much figurative language and metaphor that until I’ve actually studied the lyrics I just genuinely believe that they are like mourning their life in general and then after studying the lyrics and realizing “it’s about an asshole who cheated actually and not about growing up too fast and the consequences of” I decide that “no I like my interpretation better”

“The singer is referencing the fact that their partner cheated on them” actually, I liked it better when I interpreted the song with my literal meaning of “I feel like I’m wasting all of my time of being physically young being forced to act overly aged and mature due to trauma and past experiences.”

#this is specifically about ‘Wasting My Young Years’ by London Grammar #but it’s not the first song that I’ve experienced this with #I understand you find all of your pretty flowery metaphor to be deep and lyrical and symbolic #but until 20min ago I genuinely thought the song was about coping with feeling older than and out of touch with other 20-somethings #it’s pretty and I kind of understand the heartbreak aspect #but also I only have literal translations to offer and this is what I felt #literal thinking #autistic things #wasting my young years #music #lyric meanings

Let’s end this day with a big applause for Ty for basically saying that’s my dads and I’m on their side ❤️

#and without applause for GT who tried to make him sound like a creep #like wtf girl #that’s your son and you’re really so angry he chose their side that you’re trying to make him sound creepy #let’s insinuate my young kid wants to fuck the 55 year old #fuck off girl get a grip #sorry but that was so tactless #Ty wasted no time saying I’m on their side #GT snapped back insinuating he wants to be a sugar baby like wtf #yikes #big fucking yikes #NightGoodOmens talks PR

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the death of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

#(the quote is by Richard Woodville in his deathbed will; he was the last of the Woodville brothers to die) #elizabeth woodville #woodvilles #my post #to be clear I am not arguing that the death of an English gentry family name is some kind of giant tragedy (it absolutely the fuck is not) #I'm trying to put it into perspective with regards to what Elizabeth may have felt because we know her family DID feel this way #writing this kinda reminded me of how I am just not fond at all about the way Elizabeth's experiences in 1483-85 are written about #and the way lots so many of the unprecedentedly horrifying aspects are overlooked or treated so casually: #the seizure and murder of two MINOR sons and the illegal execution of another; #her sheer vulnerability in every way compared to all her queenly predecessors; how she was harassed by 'dire threats' for months; #how she had 5 very young daughters with her to look after at the time (Bridget and Katherine were literally 3 and 4 years old); #how unprecedented Richard's treatment of her was: EW was the first queen of england to be officially declared an adulteress; #and the first and ONLY queen to be officially accused of witchcraft #(Joan of Navarre was accused of her treason; she was never explicitly accused of witchcraft on an official level like EW was) #the first crowned queen of england to have her marriage annulled; and the first queen to have her children officially bastardized #what former queens endured through rumors* were turned into horrifying realities for her. #(I'm not trying to downplay the nightmare of that but this was fundamentally on a different level altogether) #nor did Elizabeth get a trial or appeal to the church. like I cannot emphasize this enough: this was not normal for queens #and not normal for depositions. ultimately what Richard did *was* unprecedented #and of course let's not forget that Elizabeth had literally just been unexpectedly widowed like 20 days before everything happened #I really don't feel like any of this is emphasized as much as it should be? #apart from the horrifying death of her sons - but most modern books never call it murder they just write that they 'disappeared' #and emphasize that ACTUALLY we don't know what happened to them (this includes Arlene Okerlund) #rather than allowing her to have that grief (at the very least) #more time is spent dealing with accusations that she was a heartless bitch or inconsistent intriguer for making a deal with Richard instead #it also feels like a waste because there's a lot that can be analyzed about queenship and R3's usurpation if this is ever explored properly #anyway - it's kinda sad that even after Henry won and her daughter became queen EW didn't really get a break #her family kept dying one by one and the Woodville name was extinguished. and she lived to see it #it's kinda heartbreaking - it was such a dramatic rise and such a slow haunting fall #makes for a great story tho

happy to report the agony is starting to fade a little !!

#praise God............hopefully it continues in this pattern #i havent lived very many years on this earth but ive wasted enough time weeping and agonizing over certain young men #if you dont want me then you're not the one etc etc. also good golly they DO make it clear when they don't want you #also i CAN do it with a broken heart until my heart isn't broken anymore! i know i can! #i DO know i'm strong enough to withstand the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune #and i'm determined to for the sake of my own sanity and dignity and also the fact #that God created us to do more than writhe in anguish over clueless young men lol. so there. i think. #will it be a cruel summer? a sad girl summer? maybe. but dangit i fought hard to find joy in living #im not about to give all that up over one (1) tall curly haired boy with a smile like the sun and a heart the size of australia

Today's events and the past few months of bullshit have made me feel so rejected from my local LGBTQ community.

#tried to write about it in my last 2 posts but it's hardly a short story :/ #i'm so lonely #my hormones are fucked up and i feel like shit #going on t cannot come soon enough i can tell you #i think i'm perimenopausal :'( #i spent today with the LGBTQ youth group's stand at the park thing #because my name is mud with the organisers of the main group now #this youth group is not super young it goes up to 25 i think #but i'm WELL over 25 and omg i felt so fucking old #and it doesn't help that the main group barely has any transmasc people but this youth group it seems like it's fucking everyone #i just spent the whole time about to cry because i feel like i wasted my entire fucking 20s #being around people who came out in their teens fucks with my head #they have their whole lives ahead of them now #god sometimes i feel like when i came out as trans a door opened up somewhere and now i'm freer #and it hurts so fucking much that i couldn't have gotten there sooner #when i was in the main LGBTQ group i was around people who came out as trans in their 50s and 60s #so i neve felt old there i felt young #but now I can't go back there ever :( #i think there's 2 ages- your actual age and your number of years post coming out/transition #i haven't even started physical transition #i'm so jealous i feel sick i hate myself #i hate the other group for rejecting me

Deep down I would still really love seeing charles winning in ferrari instead of changing teams, but it doesn't feel like there's any hope honestly.

like, before was "next year is our year" but now even next year already seems doomed

https://twitter.com/FUnoAT/status/1667556319463702533?t=W3fsCNE2itVZqVKqw1AGbg&s=19

Oh no gang 🤐 I remember seeing a tweet or something saying June is likely going to be crunch time at Ferrari when it comes to preparation for 2024. I know Fred's been trying to poach staff where he can, especially engineers, and I know some of them have been released/are due to finish their gardening period soon, but there have also been setbacks, and ultimately I don't think he ended up getting the guys he was after, certainly not all of them. I'm really hoping next year's project is a step in the right direction, but there's no denying they're in a difficult place right now so it could really go either way. With how strong (and most importantly stable) Red Bull's situation looks, with Aston's facilities and upgrade packages, and with Mercedes seemingly starting to steer the ship in the right direction once again, Ferrari are definitely on the back foot.

Also, being in the middle of a little nostalgia fest right now and looking back at content from 2019, particularly the interviews and longer feature docus centered around Charles... a lot of the magic of the time stemmed from the fact that he was so young and on the rise. I mean, his second year in F1 overall and his debut season in Ferrari and he already showed so much promise and talent and determination. I think he was really this injection of new youthful energy into the team, into the Tifosi as a whole (even Seb called this "new beginning" with Charles joining the team one of the best moments of his Ferrari career, which is huge). Up to that point Ferrari had generally banked on established drivers, often champions. And here's a young hotshot who doesn't yet know the taste of winning and has this fervent desire to experience it in red. He had a clear goal in sight and he pursued it relentlessly, even if it meant getting caught up in questionable on-track situations. There was maybe a bit of naivety in that, but also a lot of boldness and tenacity that can only come from being young and wanting to prove yourself. Add to that a dash of his penchant for self-criticism, and you can totally see why the world was so swept up in the rookie Ferrari driver's story, why he became the main subject of character study fics at the time. It was fascinating. Like, sometimes, more than anything, I would just love to be able to go back and experience all of that again, just live in that brief moment in time when it really seemed like the only way is up and things can only get better.

But now we're halfway through 2023. 2019 was, somehow, unbelievably, already four years ago. And the story that was supposed to be filled with success and victories has been marred by misfortune and subpar machinery. Now he's no longer a 21-year old sensation winning in Monza, but just another title-less driver in their 20s trying to do the best with what they've got. His career has pretty much stalled and he's being increasingly criticized more than he's being praised (not that he escaped criticism in 2019-20, far from it, but there's a little bit of leniency to be found when someone's young and starting out, or when they can respond to this criticism with a win because the facilities are there). From being called the "Vettel Slayer" or whatever, to being ranked on par with or even below Carlos. What was once an engrossing clash of young generational talents (Silverstone 2019, anyone?) has become a completely unfair, skewed comparison that is ultimately used to portray Charles in a negative light. So the whole thing has lost its shine a bit, and what started out as a journey full of hope and potential is now increasingly turning into a drawn-out tragicomedy.

And obviously the disappointing, frustrating thing is that it's largely down to circumstance and whatever the hell is going on internally within that team that's preventing them from performing at their best. The stats are bleak, and it's so frustrating to know that the results table on Wikipedia or any other site aren't a genuine reflection of his talent and abilities, but they're ultimately what people remember and choose to base their perception of a driver on. Objectively he's still young and he can still go far, but equally, this sport can be ruthless and cruel and success is hard to reach if the stars don't align. Statistically speaking, he's got about ten years left in his career as a full-time driver, give or take. Fernando's more of an exception than the rule, and there's even less Lewises out there (having his most successful run in his 30s, so in the back half of his career.) Then again, even if the Mercedes stint had completely not worked out for him, he still wouldn't be going home empty-handed, because he was already crowned champion once before he joined. I think that frees you up, mentally and otherwise, to focus on other pursuits. Crossing that threshold and getting your first championship is always the hardest step. The thought of Charles never finding out what that feels like and being left to wonder what could have been is really hard to take. :/

#replies #anonymous #alexa play wasting my young years by london grammar 😭😭😭😭 #very very sorry about the long and unwarranted rant im just in feels recently :< #it's so hard rewatching say 2019 interviews or hell even hearing the commentary during sessions #and how they always talk about charles getting a title like it's a sure thing and merely a matter of time #and maybe that can still prove to be true but at the moment things look pretty bleak esp in terms of winning with ferrari #it's depressing to know just how many pieces of the puzzle have to fall into place for a driver to clinch a title these days #and seeing how ferrari doesn't seem to know how to find their way back to consistently winning.......... one fear #charles leclerc #discussions and predictions #long post

#genuinely terrified that once I’m actually comfortable dating again all the good guys will be taken and gone #I am 25 and not getting any younger #and I know I know a lot of you will be like ‘25 is still so young tho’ #and I know I keep telling myself that #but 25 isn’t the same as 18 or 20 ya know #I was watching a TikTok of this very very loving couple and it filled my heart until it broke in two #I’m so happy for them and for anyone else who has found true love #I’m just so scared I’m on a timeframe #the couple I was watching was a little older than me but still in their 20s #24 and got married and then 27 and having a kid #that’s what I thought my life would be #but nah #I’m still dealing with crippling mental issues #my hopeless romantic heart always told me that the love of my life is out there somewhere and they will wait for me #but how long are they willing to wait? #will they just give up eventually and settle on someone else? #really wish I didn’t waste years of my life in a dead end relationship 👌👌👌👌 #shut up rosie

22 isn't very much at all, I think.

#5am rambles #anyways ignore this as per usual im just thinking in a post that i'll delete soon. i just worry and writing it helps. #you ever wonder when you'll “grow up'? and then realize youre not even fully grown? #that theres still more to learn in life and that the mistakes you make are just that? mistakes? #that you are still so very very young in a world that is so very very old? #im almost 23. barely a quarter of my lifespan. im still a child in a way- my brain not fully formed. #you ever wonder how many mistakes you can make before you figure something out? #I dont know much of anything really. that's the sad part. and the adults who were supposed to help me learn... didnt. #i was failed. and now im a failure. at almost not quite 23 years old. Maybe i wont be a failure in another few years. #i still have a while to go before I die. I'm not going to waste time thinking about it. im just going to try my best. #I have time. I can learn. Grace and patience are not endless but damn if i dont try to figure things out #first step though is meds and therapy tho. we're done with the pity party. some things you just have to accept are okay #cuz my whole life i was taught that being emotional is a weakness. its pathetic and stupid to be upset or angry about anything. #any time i wanted to show i was upset or angry i was 'wrong'. i was 'selfish' and 'dramatic' #so i suppressed and pretended i was fine. that i wasnt weak and pathetic. that i was good and not an annoyance or burden. #i am not weak. i am not pathetic. i am fine i am fine i am fine you dont need to worry about the inconvenience at your door. #sometimes the shame is so much that i cant look at myself or even think i deserve help. that therapy is for people with real problems. #that i feel like ill just be told im like this for attention or dramatics. that im such a disappointment and selfish too. #ive been a “problem” my whole life to the point i dunno if i CAN be fixed. that anxiety eats me alive every day. #therapy is supposed to give you methods to cope #i dunno if it'll work though. I forget my appointments a lot. i struggle to talk sometimes. i may be autistic but its hard to get diagnosed. #emotions are so hard to figure out.
