“Home is where the trees look normal” is the sweetest, saddest, most nostalgic truth I’ve ever heard.

[districtunrest]

after the war, there is a conscious effort to reframe language around the Hunger Games - namely, not referring to people as victors who won, but survivors of the Hunger Games. they are listed on memorials with no asterisk or anything by their names that would set them apart from the other children that were reaped.

and this is all fine and good - until Haymitch absently references something from the year he 'won' and someone comes out of the woodwork to correct him that it's actually 'survived,' you know.

sharing bc this is *the* place to share this:

there are two men on tinder who in this year i've seen their pictures and been: gradschool!peeta mellark? musician!peeta mellark?

so now i've matched with the au musician one, but he's not photo verified so he can't message me. if this changes, you will hear from me.

a rare (personal) post bc dont feel like staying quiet but dont feel like telling irl people either lol

nothing like having ¡¡¡¡a person i thought was a friend!!!!!! tell me to my face that i don't care about people in my life. like, i know i´m not an expressive person, but that´s what you think??? as my friend????

AND

nothing like getting home and crying because i had very nice dinner at a friend´s house and they´re trying to build a life together with their bf even when academia makes it difficult and i´m!!!! so!!! fucking!!!! jealous!!!!

[cafeinama]

because i apparently want to update everyone i'd told about this, and remembered i screamed it to the void here on tumblr...

long story short. the EX friend "apologized" for saying something that hurt me, but also continued to explain why he was right/justified in saying that. (As if that were to make things less hurtful for me.)

[cafeinama]

a small island nation!!!! first time ever in the world cup!!!! fighting against one of the greatest teams!!!! and it's a tie as of now!!!

i will cry!!

[cafeinama]

i will preface this by saying i'm not a sports person

but as someone from an island, if Cape Verde eliminates Argentina, I will cry. If Argentina eliminates Cape Verde, I will cry.

[cafeinama]

not the people at telemundo being all "here's how many times argentina has played in the fifa world cup, here's how many times they've won the cup, and this is their ranking." and then, "oh cape verde's here for the first time ever. here's what little data we have of them."

is this what it's like to root for a non-career district?
