it's simple, really, I'm a romance repulsed aroace. but when I see lesbian relationship doomed by the narrative, I sob and scream and fall to the ground and claw at my heart and suddenly I'm that 13 year old girl not knowing why the fact that her best friend got a boyfriend made her chest a bottomless pit. and why cant the girls just be happy? please? let them hold each other one more time. their hands are the same size, let them hold hands one more time one more time one more time. but it will never be enough time. and yet they still love each other despite despite despite

embracing romance has been so much more healing than trying to decenter it

#like believing in its possibility #reimagining its bounds #instead of trying to distract myself from it #and performing prescribed notions of “focusing on myself #keeping an open heart #let me stay tender-hearted #despite despite despite

Staring into the mirror covered in blood and shaking: I dont need to be perfect i just need to live

Thinking about how abuse is cyclical. And how Dazai was abused at the hands of Mori. And how Akutagawa was abused at the hands of Dazai. And how Akutagawa idolizes his abuser. And how Atsushi cried when the orphanage director died. Thinking about how Akutagawa only shows devotion through brutality and how Atsushi internalized the messages of the people who brutalized him

#bsd #bsd dazai #bsd akutagawa #bsd atsushi #tw abuse #bsd mori #thinking about it #thinking about how I see myself in them #thinking about how I must break the cycle #thinking about how they experience the cycle #thinking about how they can still care for others despite it all #despite despite despite #thinking about how fiction makes reality a little easier #thinking about how it hurts #but how it makes me feel less alone

To kill a dream is to kill ourselves, to dismember our soul. A dream is what we have that is really ours, impenetrably and impregnably ours

my motto is "despite despite despite." I've been hurt? I will love again, despite despite despite. I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel? I will have hope, despite despite despite. I can't find the goodness in the world? I will find it in myself, despite despite despite.

Children sheltering in al-Shifa Hospital are holding a press conference (Arabic first, English follows). Listen to their words: "As children, we urge you to protect us. Stop the killing, we want to live, we want peace, we want to bring the killers to justice."

#no child should have to do this #its insane what the world has come to oh my god #the trauma for these children and the longterm effects of it ..... i cant bear to think of it #but theyre so precious and so brave and so determined and so resilient #despite despite despite #i love kids #<3 #free palestine #palestine #gaza #long live palestine #glory to the martyrs #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #long live the resistance #death to israel

#something about how grief colors everything just makes me go :( #i will continue to live and eat the mints i no longer enjoy #despite despite despite #mal.txt

i hope when love visits me im ready to accept it, i am not sending it back or pushing it away, i can put my strength down for a while and look at it, i can open myself whole within it, i can talk about all the things that runs inside me to ensure no harm, i can unmask my skin and shout all burdens, i can be weak and rest, i can love the same back despite despite despite.
