I think that the absolute worst thing, hands down, about long distance relationships, platonic or otherwise, is when your friend feels bad and you can't just be like "I'll be there in 20 with a pizza and a shoulder to cry on"

i want to scream very bad but i am being so normal and calm about it

I crave an emotional connection before I ever crave a sexual one. I want you to stimulate my brain before anything else, because nothing turns me on more than having an emotional connection and a good vibe.

“I talked to my friends’ kids or just young people that I know and I’ll have a 12-year-old or a 13-year-old break down to me like, ‘He’s gaslighting right there! That’s psychological manipulation!’ To see her [Sink], she’s questioning whether she really is overreacting. And it gives me hope for future generations because if I was 19 or 18 watching that fight scene, I’d be like, ‘Oh man, he’s winning.’ When we screened it for the first time, we had people in the audience screaming out, ‘Gaslighter!’ I feel really good about the younger generation. Emotionally articulate. Gorgeous.”

— Taylor Swift, on the All Too Well fight scene via IndieWire [x] (via to-need-somebody)

Sometimes all you can do is try. Even if you succeed or not, trying is already a very brave thing to do. Don't be afraid to be proud of yourself for trying.

You matter. Your existence has made a difference. Even the tiniest things, the things you won’t even remember, like complimenting a friend, holding a door open for someone, smiling at a child. Those tiny acts of kindness might just be little glimmers by themselves, but when you add them up, your impact on the world shines. So keep shining.

being in your early 20s is crazy bc there’s people who are literally married and people who’ve never even dated and people who are trapped in their childhood bedrooms waiting to get out and people who are trying to live out romanticized dream lives and people who are completely on their own and people with multi tiered support systems and we’re all supposedly peers and none of us think we’re doing it right at all

“What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.”

“You need to fight your mind every time it tries to convince you that you are: not good enough, criticized, too serious, not interesting, not wanted, excluded, rejected, or laughed at.”

“So, what if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.”

every past version of yourself that you feel nostalgia for is also proud of the person you’ve became. you don’t need the same things you used to. fulfill your needs now.
