"I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind." --Taylor Swift

[fadedmanuscripts]

sometimes I feel like my body is full of tears, and at any moment, when I am weak or exhausted, they will rush out of me and I will not be able to hold them back. my eyes will become faucets with broken knobs, and the water will only slow when I have no more to give; I will be dry and empty. and when this happens--when the tears recede and I can finally see again--I will find that I am alone, and remember why they were there in the first place.

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.

a book should be $5 a little drink should be $2 and museum access should be free and all hours

I look just like the woman who hurts me the most. perhaps this is why I am so unkind to the face in the mirror.

I cannot count the number of times my mother has broken my heart. yet, for some reason, I keep going back. I keep hoping that one day she will see me. one day she will choose me.

I tell myself every time not to form that dangerous thought. not to hope. and yet, and yet, my own words fall on deaf ears. and every time, I am just as heartbroken as the last.

my loves' arms hold me each time. they squeeze at every sob. they caress as the tears descend my face. she doesn't judge me for my foolishness. she knows this will happen again. and always, her loving arms will be waiting.

Reminder that spring will always come back, music will never stop being created, and there are still so many books left to read! You’re alive! You’re alive! You’re alive!

I open Tumblr. I post something that should be a diary entry. I close Tumblr. I open Tumblr after having it closed for 1.2 minutes. I reblog 176 posts in a row. I add tags of absolute gibberish to 7 of those. I close Tumblr. I open Tumblr I post yet another should-be diary entry. I close Tumblr. I open tu

U may be fooled by my constant melancholia and generally pathetic state of being but take heart in knowing that i am trying unfathomably hard to live

it doesn’t matter. you will still have fun baking a distastrous looking bread loaf. you will still have fun painting a technically bad painting. you will get happy brain chemicals dancing like a weirdo. be bad on purpose.

shoutout to the people who for the longest time didn’t see a future and thought their lives would be over by now. you made it. you’re still going. i know it’s hard building a future you weren’t prepared for, but i believe in you. you’re a survivor.

imagine thinking you're hard to love for so many years and then there's someone who loves you like it's breathing.
