going to sound like an old phone-hater but genuinely younger people NEED to get offline and read actual books bcuz yr too set in this instagram/tik-tok/everything is polished and CLEAN mindset where if anything makes you uncomfortable its evil and bad and done always with malicious intent, you cannot criticize things with two parts, nothing is ever black and white it is either GOOD or BAD never in between and this is ruining yr fucking life skills and also, annoying me. like you need to go to a used bookstore and you have to pick up an old book and read it

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
