so. hi.

i haven’t really been active on here for awhile, for a multitude of reasons, but i think it’s time for me to sign off for now.

i know this isn’t an airport and i’ve no need to announce my departure, but still.

i’ve included some semi-personal stuff under the cut that i’ll likely delete soon; my blog is very light on details about my real life, but it actually feels a little cathartic to share something more personal for once.

so i mainly feel disconnected from many things that used to bring me joy. i see posts/pictures/etc. that temporarily make me feel something akin to happiness, but the feeling is fleeting. social media in nearly every form is full of curated messages designed to make us feel shitty about ourselves. it’s not all bad, of course, but it’s no longer something i want to engage with.

removed the super personal part 💛

i’ve genuinely enjoyed the escapist nature of this platform and have made some amazing friends who changed my life for the better. life is full of discovering new things to love, but i’ve felt disconnected from that joy and curiosity for awhile now. maybe some day i’ll return, but i think the best thing for my mental and physical health is to give myself an extended break.

if you made it this far, i appreciate you and hope to see you around again somewhere and sometime in the future.

i love seeing cardinals and bluejays together i’m always like “hehe.. evil siblings”

[clickbeetle]

They’re not even related. Jays are a type of corvid, like crows and magpies, and Cardinals are a grosbeak.

Lil nas x coming back during pride month to tell us hes been taking care of his physical and mental health, finishing rehab and getting treatment for bipolar disorder, and telling us that he is excited to not only make new music but also just to live his life???? And during mens mental health awareness month????? Oh i missed him bad

Love Island's got it all wrong by making complete strangers couple up within minutes of meeting each other.

Instead, don't let anyone couple up for 48 hours.

Without the artificially drawn boundaries, the resulting drama would be unbelievable.
