when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

[nongunktional]

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

[aromanticduck]

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

tumblr will never count as social media to me. This shit a secret hideout and we just all happen to see each others thoughts

Why do we say “slept like a baby” when babies literally wake up screaming every two hours?

I want to sleep like a middle-aged dad who “rests his eyes” during a Marvel movie and wakes up refreshed, confused, and ready to barbecue.

fireflies honestly make me cry a little. out of gratitude and wonder. thank goodness we live in a world with bioluminescence. thank goodness we live in a world where it can fly.

"nobody is judging you" wrong, my mother is seemingly always judging every single stranger she sees

[mobydyke]

I think sitting on the floor of the ocean for a few hours would fix me

it’s actually one of my biggest wishes that prices go down and everything becomes reasonably affordable again btw

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

say it with me—

“someday i’m going to have the life i’ve always dreamed of and i won’t let self doubt stop me”

Your 20s are for lusting after furniture you can’t afford actually

on healing: “i’d like to but how?”

a few tips i have found helpful (feel free to add) —

keep in mind that healing isn’t linear

write down accomplishments every day even if they’re small such as “i ate dinner today”, “i washed my face”, etc.

seek out a good therapist/psychiatrist that you click with even if it takes a few tries

reach out to loved ones when you need help

practice forgiving yourself often

make a point of doing little acts kindness for both yourself and others

work on positive self talk

etc, etc, etc
