Do y’all just have random memories hit and you’re like “wow that was an actual time in my life????”

Like i just remembered the one and only AA meeting I ever went to where I walked in, sat down, then made some forreal awkward eye contact with one of my mum’s friends from the pub 

He then proceeded to nap (???) for the rest of the meeting while i curled up into a ball on my seat and decided i had not quite made it to full alcoholism yet

Then i went to therapy

For bonus context, the actual quote they’re citing for this protest comes from Edgar Mitchell (1930-2016), who flew in Apollo 14 and was the sixth person to walk on the Moon.

The full quotation, referring to the experience of observing Earth from the Moon surface, is thus:

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’

I respect and admire ellen page as a wonderful human and actor but she has never played a convincing straight person in her entire career

[americachavez]

honestly if they wanted this romance to come across as anything but “closeted lesbian tries to date the first man who shows any sort of interest in her because she has unresolved attachment and emotional issues” they shouldn’t have cast ellen page

i love that this is just one of a number of posts that have gone around in the last few days tacitly acknowledging that you need to feel your feelings in order to move through them

Fab 5 when working with a women: you just need to realize how beautiful you are and start taking care of yourself like you take care of others!

When the dude who low key helped you ruin your relationship (and life tbh) hits you up with the “I’d really like to see you again”

How about NO

The past two weeks have been some of the worst of my live and I’ve felt lower than I have in a VERY long time. 

BUT

Honestly I’ve been amazed at the people who have appeared to form part of my stellar support network. I went from thinking I had pretty much no close friends to having multiple who frequently check in on me to see how I’m going and offer an ear to listen or a couch to sleep on. I know I haven’t been the easiest person to deal with for any of these people but they’re??? still?? there???? I’m so used to not having anyone I can talk to about deep shit or how I’m feeling but now I have multiple all with different schedules so literally whenever I’m in need there’s someone there (special mention to JS who has been almost constantly bombarded with messages from me every time I have a new thought about everything that’s been happening and who always has an open door and a case of cider). I absolutely know that once I’m doing better I will 100% be there for all of these people in the same way they’ve been there for me. My heart may be shattered but I still have so much love for all of them and I hope I’ve been able to make them see that.

Love of my life who broke up with me two days ago: *in the lounge, playing xbox and laughing with gamer friends*

Me: *in bedroom listening to Miserable At Best on repeat and trying to avoid the idea of fleeing the country*

straight people will never understand how therapeutic it is to hear the words “her girlfriend” or “his boyfriend” or how I ascend to heaven when I hear “her wife” and “his husband”

Female customer: “I don’t have a rewards card but my partner might.”

Me, ears perking up: “Great! Can I have their name?”

Customer: “It’s Stephanie ____”

Me: stupidly wide smile and faint twinkle in eyes because holy crap I’m not alone

These two women came up to my register with their twins and they called each other honey and their kids called them both Mom and my soul ascended to the heavens i was so happy

Getting shitfaced drunk and having a friend turn up at my house unannounced to look after me and take me to three more friends who spent the night babysitting me has made me realise I genuinely DO have more than one person and friends there for me if I need and that makes me so mad because it makes it so much harder to run away 😠

Is it selfish if the thing I’m almost most gutted about with this whole situation is that I missed out on so much hoe life in South America

Having a backup plan is all well and good until it comes time to enact the backup plan and it turns out to be a lot harder than expected
