Fucked up how humanity discovered electricity and radiation and made machines and learned to make airplanes and cured diseases and our takeaway isnt that "Some Magic Is Real And Here's Why", but that magic is fake this is big boy science and it's totally not magical

May you never again get attached to anyone who isn’t for you. May you find a love who makes you laugh, never lets the flirting phase end, and gives you unquestionable loyalty. You deserve a love that calms your heart, mind, and nervous system — a love that never hurts you.

also yesterday i has a talk with someone about music and how important it is to me and all, and I said something like "if yuo give me a song i can pinpoint the exact moment i'm thinking about, the emotions, the people, everything" and it's really such a moving thing when we think of it it's like i can barely remember to do very basic chores, i can forget birthdays (yes, even mine) or to hang out with people, but if you play a song it's so engraved in me i can recall things i didn't even know i could recall.

It's like "yes, i remember it all. Play the song one more time."

#look #me and music it's a whole damn thing #i wouldn't be here without music and i am being very serious right now #it saved my life so many fucking times #saved me from my own thoughts from the noises from the people from so many things #saved me from countless panic attack and sensory meltdowns #it's engraved in me you cannot break the music away from me unless you break me as a person #(please don't do that i spent too much time fixing myself back lol)

A good way to know if I really like you is to know if I have a theme song for you

#i'm listening to a song right now and the title alone makes me think of one of my closest friend #and it's like #if i have a theme song for you it means you're engraved in me

The chairbeing of the Galactic Federation looked at the motion to exclude Humanity for 'Being the absolute worst, ever'.

"Hm. Come back with this in a week."

"But they are the worst!"

"That has often been said. And then they somehow manage to be the best, ever."

It took two days.

On my birthday, dad showed me an old notebook.

"Pick one."

I opened it. Page after page filled with book titles, some crossed out, interspersed with names. Our family name.

"What is this?"

"The family to-read list, from 1643 on. Read one, then pray to that ancestor, tell them."

if i ever get diagnosed with ADHD the first thing i will ask is if i can get a head secretary, it's like a secretary but very small and inside my brain

#i see you coming with your 'that's called medication Meda' but listen #does medication has a funky pair of glasses and a legendary level of sass? i don't think so #criteria to be a head secretary: very small #full of sass #wears funky glasses #loves post it and highlighters #has way too many clocks #soup is their favorite meal ever #anyway i got an application letter to write and applications to do and i have a week left to do it and i didn't start #and i also have the T-word which we will not speak about because the word itself has become a trigger for me and i wish i was joking

it's not natural for candy to be $3.49. candy is supposed to be one dollar

#my parents telling me stories of the bag full of candies they would get with the franc equivalent of one euro #vs. now where for one euro you get a single carambar and the jokes aren't even funny

I tried to write a novel. Not once. Not twice. But about 12 times. Here's how that would play out: 1. I sit down and knock out 10 pages 2. I share it with someone 3. They say "It's goooood" like it's not good 4. I ask for critical feedback 5. They say, "Well....the plot just moves so quickly. So much happens in the first few pages it doesn't feel natural." So I'd write more drafts. I'd try to stretch out the story. I would add dialogue that I tried to make interesting but thought was boring. I would try including environment and character descriptions that felt unnecessary, (why not just let people imagine what they want?) Anyways, I gave up trying to write because in my mind, I wasn't a fiction writer. Maybe I could write a phonebook or something. But then I made a fiction podcast, and I waited for the same feedback about the fast moving plot, but guess what??? Podcasts aren't novels. The thing that made my novels suck became one of the things that made Desert Skies work. I've received some criticism since the show started, but one thing I don't receive regular complaints about is being overly-descriptive or longwinded. In fact, the opposite. It moves fast enough that it keeps peoples attention. I always felt I had a knack for telling stories but spent years beating myself up because I couldn't put those stories into novel form. The problem wasn't me. The problem was the tool I was trying to use. All that to say: If, in your innermost parts you may know that you're a storyteller but you just can't write a book, don't give up right away. You can always do things to get better and there's a lot of good resources. But if you do that for a while and novel writing just isn't your thing, try making a podcast, or creating a comic, or a poem, or a play, or a tv script. You might know you're an artist but suck at painting. Try making a glass mosaic, or miniatures, or try charcoal portraits, or embroider or collage. You might know you're a singer, but opera just isn't working out. Why not yodel? I could keep listing out examples, but the point is this. Trust your intuitions when it comes to your creative abilities, but don't inhibit yourself by becoming dogmatic about which medium you can use to express that creativity. Don't be afraid to try something new. Don't be afraid to make something new. You might just find the art form that fits the gift you knew you always had, and what it is might surprise you

#thank you for the reminder
