I'd love to say you'll never find anyone better than me.
But I know that's just not true. And I also want you to be happy, so I hope you'll find them soon..

Easter (or Pascha; I have good friends in the Greek Orthodox church).
Until I became a Christian, it made absolutely no sense to me. Secular Christmas made some sense, especially in the wake of Thanksgiving. We spend a holiday being thankful for what we have, and so we take hold of those blessings to be generous to each other. Cool. What did hunting eggs and rabbits and baskets full of candy have to do with spring? Even thinking of fertility didn't really make sense. It was just some dumb holiday people did to have an excuse to do something between Valentine's Day and Memorial Day.
But to celebrate the glorious resurrection of Christ? That's meaningful. To be sure, every Sunday is supposed to be that, right? But Easter, that is the day to bring that front and center, the reason Christians are Christians. And still, there's an aspect that eludes me: family. I don't see Christians as a family. I don't see Christians acting as a family, except maybe the dysfunctional parts. Perhaps part of it is poor upbringing. I have a rather broken family. Perhaps part of it is where the mild autism shines. Family I can get intellectually, but aside from some primal instinct, understanding eludes me. Maybe it's because I turned to the faith when I was a young adult, and so I missed on the cultural upbringing others take for granted. Maybe I'm just jaded and cynical. But seeing families gather, sometimes only for this day, and celebrate, and enjoy their relationships while I merely continue my daily routine, seeing the spiritual reality but unable to participate so much in the physical reality that others seem to know, I know I am missing something foundational.

Growing up the internet was simultaneously the safest and most hostile place for me and I can't begin to describe how much of the latter was from adults who knew I was under the age of 13

i have never been a human being who doesn’t make art. well, i was ocassionally, but it never felt natural. i had to pretend. art was secretly dripping from seams and slithering behind eyelids. i didn’t understand how other people just lived like that.
now i think i am beginning to ease into it. it is sad, but also it is not anything much at all. turns out there is no art to it.

i love coming out of an everything shower and smelling of cocoa and hibiscus and using moroccanoil on my hair and putting on a perfume that smells of jasmine and using a rose toner and doing all my silly little skincare before getting into bed to watch a comforting movie :'))

“What’s up with you, Buckaroo?” She laughs, poking his silly cheek.
“I love you,” he says, so sweet, looking even happier just to say it. “So much, Hen. Do- did you know it?”
“Yes,” she says, laugh still in her voice but chest a little tighter. “I know it, Buck.”
He drops his cheek to her shoulder, and then turns his head quick to kiss the spot. “Good. You’re the best. You should know it, a- a hundred- a thousand percent.”

There are toxic people who target whom they want to be associated with by their physical appearance, education, and eloquence. They will never get to know who you are underneath all that because they don’t care. Your outer shell is what interests them, to boost their ego. When you’re gone, they’ll look for someone else with similar physical appearance and eloquence as you.

Haa haa hoo hoo I made myself sad by listening to Vika hidas by Ida Paul and Kalle Lindroth (the song title translates to “The last slow dance”) because it made me think about NQK!Leonardo meeting Yuichi during the apocalypse. And we all know how that would’ve turned out UUUGH I DON’T WANT THAT
...yeah this is just me being a dumdum. That might be the case in some other timeline but here, in NQK, Leonardo will get to live forever with his stupid bunny man
Anyway the song is absolutely beautiful so y’all should listen to it, and I badly translated a bit of the lyrics under the cut so any non-Finnish speakers can get some kind of grasp on why this makes me so desolate:
You get to cradle me just for this moment
Anyway, anyway
Today we are two
But tomorrow there will be no us
Tuuu-uu-uu
Tuuu-uu-uu
This is our last slow dance and it’s supposed
It's supposed to be
Tuuu-uu-uu
Tuuu-uu-uu
This is our last slow dance and it’s supposed
It's supposed to be
While the birds are still singing
Carefully so I’ll hold you
So you wouldn't forget to remember how we danced tonight
We drowned just like that, as if in the Atlantic
If we’d been there
Like how we're here
We'd still float on water
Like! Oh my godddd ghjfgrfghjsg in addition, the “tuu tuu tuu” humming could be a reference to “tuutulaulu”, which means “lullaby” in English, AND IT MAKES ME SO SO SAD???????? AAAAAAAA
