fake it till you make it (*doesn’t make it, fails miserably, even)

self isolating to cope is great until you look up one day and years have passed and you realise no one knew you when you were 18 or 19 or 20 or 21 and now they never will

it sucks when everything is just about surviving and “getting through.” there’s no future but you have to wake up and meet it every day anyway

"...hearts are wild creatures, that's why our ribs are cages"

When Morticia Addams said, "Life’s not all lovely thorns and singing vultures, you know," and, "Hearts are wild creatures, that’s why our ribs are cages."

THAT REALLY STRUCK ME because I've always hated the tired rhetoric of " This happened for a reason" And this feels like more of a genuine, comforting take on that. Not "it happened for a reason" But " This will find it's spot in your life and your future that it fits into, in a way that will eventually work out, even though it sucks that it happened " Love that.

We as a society need to stop comparing personal relationships

with romanticized versions on screens.

The endings we have been conditioned

to strive for are not always achievable.

The boy may never change for you. The girl may never gain confidence.

We tear ourselves apart attempting to obtain a fairytale ending.

Sometimes people do not come back.

The flickering fire sometimes burns out in the home the two of you built.

And that is okay.

Ace culture is having that one song on your Playlist that you *know* is about sex, but you don't even care because it's that much of a bop

I can’t lie to you and tell you that standing in front of someone and offering them your soul and having them reject you is not gonna be one of the worst things that ever happens to you. You will wonder for days or weeks or months or years afterward what it is about you that was so wrong or broken or ugly that they couldn’t love you the way you loved them. You will look for all the reasons inside yourself that they didn’t want you and you will find a million.

Maybe it was the way you looked in the mornings when you first woke up and hadn’t showered. Maybe it was the way you were too available, because despite what everyone says, playing hard to get is still attractive.

friendly reminder

getting back on track after a long slump is not easy – just try your best to take it easy, be gentle with yourself, and move in small steps; even the smallest steps are still progressing you forward, and i’m so proud of you for that

There is not a single person who is born without the glimmer of light in their eyes.

Where did yours go darling?

You are far too young for your eyes to be this dark.
