sometimes there’s a big hole in your soul and that’s just the way it is and you have to fill it up with songs you love and people who make you feel better and towels in your favorite color and socks that feel just right on your feet and even then sometimes part of you will leak out and other times it’ll all gush at once and you’ll feel like you’re fighting a losing battle but the fact is every time you flood you just pick up the pieces of all the little good things around you and start laying the bricks over again and yeah it’s too bad there’s got to be a hole in the first place but that’s life sometimes you babble and ebb and flow and burst but your soul is part of what keeps the world alive and it’s really just amazing you’re here so don’t worry that the sadness never fully goes away I’m just really glad we exist. the world is full of everyone and I’m happy that includes us.

I have a very strange relationship with cereal. I’ll forget it exists for months at a time, then I remember that not only does it exist, it is one of humanity’s perfect foods. Then I’ll eat like 4 boxes in one day before some eldritch god takes the knowledge from me again. (Probably for my own good.)

open a new window somewhere in the world. 

[korean-disaster]

i love this because it’s such a simple concept but it answers things i didn’t even know how to ask

[hedgehog-moss]

Looking out of people’s windows is such a peaceful way of travelling… I got a snowfall in Argentina, a nice sea view in Ukraine, a clothes line in the fog in Bangalore. Antonella from Tavernaro, I like your wooden bird.

i feel like a lot of white people in academia including myself sometimes forget that there is a huge difference between white conspiracy theorists being afraid of vaccines causing autism or whatever bullshit and POC, especially black people, fearing them bc of demonstrable abuse of medical power, including vaccines, against them. Like I strongly believe that the vaccine is meant to work correctly and isn't anything malicious but treating POC like they're stupid or anti intellectual for having reservations is not helpful to anyone.

in all seriousness it's very alienating knowing theres Something Wrong With You. like seeing your mental illness come through in your behaviour and thought processes and knowing it's irrational and unhealthy, knowing other people are reading you as weird or stupid, and not being able to do anything about it is such a lonely experience

I wish people would stop saying “It’s July. Well done for wasting half a year.” Did you make someone smile in the past six months? Did you stroke a cat or throw a stick for a dog? Did you learn a new fact or teach someone a new joke? Did you laugh, cry, scream or sing in the past six months? Because if so, congratulations for not wasting your time at all.

[luftblumen-deactivated20150807]

I really needed this

[theradicalace]

I’m bringing this back for December to remind everyone.

You did not waste your year.

If you made it this far, that’s already not wasting your year.

You made it through the year, you laughed, you cried, you smiled, you saw the sun and felt the rain, and most importantly, you’re still here.

You did not waste your year.

You mad it this far, and I’m proud of you.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Bringing this back for 2020 to tell you:

DUDE.

YOU SURVIVED A MOTHERFUCKING 

PANDEMIC.

You lived through what is, and I’m not exaggerating, a fucking apocalyptic event.  DURING a major political crisis to boot! This year, still having a pulse is a major accomplishment, and I’m so glad you’re here.

[ardentmystacina]

#psa #IMPORTANT #if any of y’all are feeling this after THIS SHIT YEAR I’m coming over there and giving you (socially distanced) air hugs of support #you have survived and that’s MORE THAN ENOUGH

an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

[serotoninsuggestion]

found it - she was replying to this thread that starts “unpopular opinion: i don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; i think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die” and i for one think that’s fucking brilliant

[sashaforthewin]

If you save happiness for only the big important moments, you won’t have a very happy life, but if you allow happiness to happen from even the smallest things, your life will be full of happiness

[crafty-butch]

having one of those executive function days where everything is too many steps

[crafty-butch]

by which i mean, like, here's how my brain parses the steps in making coffee

good day:

make coffee

regular day:

put water in coffee maker

put coffee in coffee maker

turn on coffee maker

bad day:

take pot from coffee maker

turn on sink

fill up coffee pot

turn off sink

pour water into coffee maker

put coffee pot in coffee maker

open cupboard

get coffee filter from cupboard

get coffee beans from cupboard

put filter in coffee pot

measure coffee

pour coffee into filter

close coffee maker

turn coffee maker on

anyway this is a "14 steps to make coffee" kind of day

sorry for constantly oversharing my feelings , they were never acknowledged or listened to during my fundamental years as a child and adolescent
