₊˚⊹ ᰔ “You’ve been playing a role for so long you forgot it was optional.”

₊˚⊹ ᰔ “You say you’re ‘being realistic,’ but it sounds a lot like giving up.”

₊˚⊹ ᰔ “You don’t need to reinvent yourself. You need to stop hiding.”

₊˚⊹ ᰔ “Who are you when you’re not trying to be useful?”

₊˚⊹ ᰔ “If this is who you are now, why does it feel like betrayal?”

₊˚⊹ ᰔ “You keep choosing safety over truth and wondering why you feel empty.”

₊˚⊹ ᰔ “Just because you can live like this doesn’t mean you should.”

last year i was eating in a fancy, large restaurant when i began to hear a rumble and the distant sound of people chanting ‘potassium, potassium’ and suddenly hundreds of people dressed as bananas flood this restaurant chanting potassium over and over and we were trapped there for a very long time because the bananas would not leave and they were everywhere

i wasn’t joking

[gendersnaps]

this post has haunted me for like 3 years. every time i start to think i imagined it, it shows up on my dash again and then immediately disappears into the ether for another 17 months
