I wanted to share this with you (@thediaryofdaze on tiktok)

change my mind please, but for years now I haven’t been able to shake the feeling that it is immoral and inhumane to keep brining children into this world. if you combine climate change with the state of our economy, many younger people will not be able to afford to live comfortably in the next decades. many people can’t afford to live comfortably and sheltered from extreme weather events already.

spending your teenage years believing you’d kys before you reach 30 years old and then reaching 30… it does something to your brain idk

“you can’t forget your mother tongue” okay but have you considered bilinguals and polyglots whose first language isn’t english and whose development during adolescence was shaped by consuming content and media only in english and have ever since viewed that second language, foreign to their own, as a better outlet for their emotions and thoughts? as Yiyun Li said “it is hard to feel in an adopted language, yet impossible in my native language.”

with my dad being a computer technician and showing me the *magic* of the internet at a very young age, growing up on the internet was inevitable. it is often why i felt like i didn’t belong in my own friend groups when i was a teen, because they grew up watching greek tv series and i grew up watching say, doctor who and supernatural before these shows even aired here. i found community online so easily when i should have been cultivating it irl instead.

i lost out on so much of my country’s culture (things that even to this day i am oblivious to) and it’s often a lighthearted laughing matter within my friend group –how much i don’t know about my own country, about actors, artists, memes, references, series, even greek online culture– but it also comes with a heavy sense of not belonging. bc i dont feel like i 100% belong here and i surely don’t 100% belong in any of the English-speaking countries whose culture i have consumed since i was little.

they should invent a countryplace where i belong fr

when it’s summer again and suddenly all you see on tv are dieting pills and anti-cellulite creams and fast liposuction treatments and you wonder if you’ve ever spent a single summer on this earth not thinking about having a flat stomach and wanting to be thin

[disc80s]

hot girl summer but only in air conditioned spaces
