is it too much to ask to find a flexible, remote job that i can work on from my pretty little cottage with my pet dog, surrounded by colourful wildflowers and fresh air and a vegetable patch?
UGH is it literally so much to ask that I have time and money to learn how to tailor clothes and embroider and knit and make cakes and bake bread and do makeup and hair and nails and do all my own diy projects around the house and
Imagine: I'm the owner of an Inn, and I have long black hair in 2 braids and a snake around them, I wear heavy green eyeshadow, and I'm dressed so that people can see a bit of my tattoos but can't imagine how many I actually have, I have long nails and rings but only gold because I have to rep that gold+green combo, I drive a motorcycle, I love everyone and life is beautiful.
Amatonormativity has destroyed so many people's understanding and acceptance of themselves, and it's heartbreaking.
Yes, it is normal to be in your 20s, 30s, or older and not have lost your virginity, had a first kiss, or a partner. It is normal to say that you aren't ready for those things, too! It is normal if your life doesn't follow the "college graduate -> engagement -> buying a home -> 2.5 kids and a dog" trajectory that so many people have idealized.
So many people associate maturity with losing your virginity, or having a first kiss, or a serious relationship, and I think that's a dangerous association. Maturity isn't gained through those things, and you don't have to have those experiences to be considered "mature" or "grown." It is not a bad thing to go at your pace. Nobody else can live your life but you. If you end up having those experiences, that's great! But it should be done because you want to experience them, not because you feel "broken" and "immature" without them.

Ranchers as Grant Wood’s American Gothic was supposed to be sillay and goofy but then I set the ranch on fire and one thing led to another and now it’s. sad DFBJDFGB I’m really happy with how this came out though, so!! Here’s my week 3 piece for the Hermitcraft Design Challenge thingie :]
I love how I’ve curated my taste in dash so well is that I don’t see discourse very often and the only reason I know it’s happening is the people I follow also not knowing anything about it and being confused
Everyone (school evaluations, distant friends, relatives I only see at Christmastime, etc.) is always asking me where I see myself in ~15 years, but there's really no way to tell them that I want to disappear under mysterious circumstances, move to a very small town in a different state, run a tiny bookstore, and be the strange local queer living in a log cabin in the woods.
I owe you a lot, Devi. I know we’ve had some ups and downs but I probably wouldn’t be going to college if it weren’t for you. Well, I actually have a lot to thank you for too.
