It's my 14 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Oh my god... half my life is gone...

"tumblr's the only social media without algorithms!" "you can still be anonymous on tumblr!" "tumblr's so nice because you don't have to show your face!" WRONG tumblr is special because you can have 3000 followers and still get an average of seven likes a post. i'm doing stand up comedy at a packed venue and one person is laughing

the lines in Infinite Baths, "I have fought so long to be here, I am never going back" and "I'm finally here, and I'm not leaving this time", are so beautiful and hopeful.

and while I was reflecting on those I suddenly recalled this line from the Fall For Me video: "I want, to want, to live". and now I am crying.

Listening to the title track of Even in Arcadia: 😌

That part at 3:18:

Still trying to get over Vessel saying my lover, bad baddie, and good girl all within the same verse.

(never getting over it).

[aelinofstorms]

I had to pause the music so I could breathe when Vessel unintentionally triggered my praise kink

Much like Edison fucked over Tesla in a successful attempt to get all the money and influence from the new industry.

When were you radicalized?

Guess what? Trump and MAGA will make this worse.

America is the only country with medical debt and medical bankruptcy.

No other country destroys your life savings via medical procedures.

No other country.

This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.

If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.

This is honestly one of the places I find Marie Kondo's advice most helpful. I stop, look at the thing I've spent time and money on only to realize I dislike, and I say, "Thank you for teaching me something about myself and my preferences. I think I've learned this particular lesson and we can part ways now."

And then I don't feel like I "wasted" things or made a mistake. I just tried one path of learning about myself, learned something, and now it's time for a different path. Works a lot better for my brain.

The time Marie Kondo said "you can thank a a shirt you've never worn for teaching you about your taste", thereby making it NOT A WASTE literally rewired my whole brain. Acknowledge the thing and move forward, even if that means leaving the thing behind.

Life Hack: Marie Kondo's advice works on relationships, too

thinking about newt’s wonder and whimsy, quiet melancholy, cold anger, easy forgiveness and old resentment, awkward romantic ease, prickly nature, and inherent compassion

There is nothing more evil than American corporations.
