(wholesome) mutual school crush prompts?

List of “young and dumb and so in love” prompts 

“Oh, look at us! Seat besties!” “…Excuse me? What the hell is a seat bestie.”

Skipping classes together.

Doodling the other’s name/portrait in the margins of their notebook. (And then getting caught for it.)

Daydreaming about their crush in class.

Character A sneaking glances at Character B across the cafeteria/classroom, blushing and quickly looking away when Character B catches them (and vice versa).

Holding hands under the table.

Near misses in the school library.

Passing notes in class!

Trying to see where the other is during break because they don’t share the same classroom.

Being teased by their friends about it. “Ooh, look at them walking past us!” “Shut up!”

Helping the other with their homework as an excuse to get closer to them. (Bonus: they’re not the best at the subject. Double bonus: their crush is better at the subject than they are.)

Giggling about something together in class and getting scolded for it by the teacher.

Always buzzing to see them, whenever and wherever.

Playing footsies under the table during group work.

Fixing/fidgeting with their school tie/the hem of their shirt/the collar of their uniform (or something along the lines of preening themselves) whenever their crush walks past them. (Can apply to those who wear casual clothes to school instead of uniforms, too! Fixing their hair, fidgeting with their ear, fixing their sleeve, pulling at a thread on their shirt — the list goes on. Possibilities: endless.)

Sharing earphones during lunch/on the bus/on the train/the tree they usually sit under with each other during break.

Bumping into them in the hallways on purpose.

Playful bickering/teasing.

Purposefully sitting next to their crush during group work, shoulder touching shoulder.

Feeling worried when their crush isn’t at school.

I still don't know my purpose on this planet but I do love reading fanfiction.

Every action does NOT deserve an equal opposite reaction actually. I will never combat rudeness and cruelty w rudeness and cruelty. A lot of my self-worth in rooted in that—in seeing how I react to things when they test my patience or hurt my feelings or displease me in any way. And I’m not perfect but I have been navigating things w such a clear mind recently. Like legit nothing has been getting under my skin as of late. Staying true to myself is really all it takes for me to be grounded regardless of anyone else’s behavior

please allow yourself to fall inlove with the mundane, the things you would not take a second look for; they are the foundation of our complex lives.

tie your shoelaces the way you tie your being to someone else's. let your lips linger a little longer on the edge of your cups the way you let the strawberry flavored balm set on your tongue after your first kiss. make your bed everyday the way you folded your last piece of clothing on the last day of junior year before heading to college.

life is all about the simplest of things, your presence and practices is what makes it extraordinary.

[glowcowboy]

holding my own face in my own hands and screaming “there is no connection without an open heart! you must be brave! you must be honest! you must be true!” in the mirror

[yourgothmom]

Ok but hear me out...

What if I'm scared?

[glowcowboy]

do it scared

I only ever want the simple and small things. A bowl of fruit. To exist comfortably. To be accepted. To be loved. To eat nice food. To laugh as much as I can.

[inloveforevr-deactivated2025041]

Self improvement is great but ultimately? you have to accept your self. Yes you can eat better, exercise more, read more, set boundaries, love your self, but it all comes down to this. Some days you won’t have the energy to do any of these things. And you’ll look in the mirror and think that this is not enough. That’s a lie. The biggest love for self is to live slowly. To rest. To really rest. Have a nap. Eat what makes you feel good. Read if you want to. Embrace yourself and accept that you cannot and will not be ever be perfect. Accept that you are good enough. You don’t need to keep busy all the time. you don’t need to go out all the time and post on instagram. You don’t need to journal if you don’t want to. You don’t need to make art if you don’t want to. Breathe, give yourself grace and compassion. Give yourself the love and tenderness you so badly need. Be gentle with yourself. You are trying and it is good enough. You are good enough.

tomorrow will be better. candles will be blown. songs will be sung. food will be consumed. films will be developed. papers will be drawn. books will be read. grass will be cut. clothes will be washed. hands will be held. a stranger will say you look beautiful. a cat will curl near your feet. a barista will slip you an extra cookie. the weather will be inviting. tomorrow will be better; this you have to believe.
