“That’s why high school, or a crappy job, or any other restrictive circumstance can be dangerous: They make dreams too painful to bear. To avoid longing, we hunker down, wait, and resolve to just survive. Great art becomes a reminder of the art you want to be making, and of the gigantic world outside of your small, seemingly inescapable one. We hide from great things because they inspire us, and in this state, inspiration hurts.”

You deserve peace. Take a breath in. Picture a future where you are surrounded by the people who care about you, where you are full of light and the world is calm. Breathe out. This world is possible. A happy future is not something confined to a hypothetical tomorrow, it is something that grows nearer and nearer with every passing day until you are there and have landed joyfully where you are meant to be. That place will change over the years, but you will find your way, again and again. Joy is possible.

Text ID: I've never written, though I thought I wrote, never loved, though I thought I loved, never done anything but wait outside the closed door.

Slow down, it's ok. Very few things in life are absolute

Deadlines can be flexible, career paths are flexible, relationships become close and far and close again, it's all going to be ok

‘Winter Night in the Mountains. Study’ by Harald Sohlberg, c. 1901-1902.

some of y'all need to learn how to accept hospitality. stop assuming people are only offering to look after you out of twisted obligation that they don't actually want to do. when you assume that, you are often denying someone the opportunity to genuinely show a friend or stranger love. even if you don't really care about what they're offering, it's respectful of their desire to be kind to accept it anyways.

i had a bunch of girls i've never met over for a women's group. every single one of them denied my offer to make them tea (despite already making myself a mug anyways), get them water, a scone, etc.

i can tell when people refuse to let me be a good host because they "don't want to be a bother". like no!! please be a bother!!! i want to serve you and make you comfortable in my home!

not to be like "we live in a society" but really do live in a modern culture than emphasizes individualism to the point where people will reflexively deny any help or kindness from others for fear of treading on their independence. newsflash: dependence on each other is what makes a community. next time someone offers you kindness, accept it instead of making excuses for why you don't need it. otherwise you've robbed both yourself of being loved and someone else from showing love.

One of the things that really helped me make friends as an adult was learning that people want to be wanted, they want to be useful

Accepting help and offering help in return was key to deepening acquaintances into fully-fledged friendships

I think that the fact that more people haven't made this comparison is proof that most of the people banging on about "Nineteen Eighty-Four" haven't actually read it. I also think that we need to normalize use of the term "Prolefeed" to refer to the content generated in this manner.

It is my sincere belief that in order to undergo a true shift in which we find ourselves at the valley of new a beginning we must have a fantasy to accompany us, we must believe in something out of our grasp in order to soothe our aching muscles along this journey. Without the use of fantasy there is no foundation for a persons desire to take root, without the ability to truly feel desire, we cannot embody passion. Your pleasure is worth fighting for.
