Honestly, people generally don't want much... They want to eat their favorite food. They want to go to the seaside and smell the fresh air. They want to nap on the grass and listen to music. They want to hold their loved ones in their arms, and be held in return. They want warm clothes, be occupied with a profession/a hobby that does not smother them. They want to feel safe and unafraid. Mostly, they want to live without being ridiculed, manipulated or being forced. And this is why capitalism/modern life overall is so upsetting, depressing and even destructive. Because thinking about how small and simple things you yearn for & how hard it is to even be able to have them really wears you off

You know what the second I stopped saying “I wish I had a friend who-“ and started being “the friend who-“ my life has gotten 100% more fulfilling

[popsunner]

No legitimately. I have a tea table in my room for when friends can come over again. Most of my friends have a key to the back door in my room. I make my friends sweaters and buy things they mention they want. I send handwritten letters in the mail to my friend who lives a block away. I annotate poetry books and give them as gifts when it’s not even a holiday. I keep extra gloves in my purse and jackets in my car.

I’m not trying to be like “ohoho look at me I’m such a good friend”, I’m saying the second I stopped going “I wish I had friends who would invite me to tea parties” and just. hosted the tea parties myself? I still got to do the thing. I still got to see my friends. I still got to be happy with them.

I don’t think it’s about who does it, I think it’s just the genuine act of caring for people, and giving a little light to the environments you’re in.

[popsunner]

Okay. Apparently I’m not done talking about this.

It’s a lot of energy, I get that. Especially if you’re putting in all this effort, but not getting any back.

But I think that’s the reason no one does it. I mean we’re so worried we’ll start doing all these things and our friends won’t like it or won’t be into it, so we just don’t.

Only last week my friend messaged me, asking if I wanted to go stargazing with her. When I forget about our weekly virtual tea party, another friend called me to ask if I wanted them to host it this week.

I’ve been invited on hikes and picnics and pie making competitions over zoom, and it all sort of started with me going out of my way to be “that friend”.

I genuinely believe that the easiest answer to “how do I get friends like that?” Is to be one. In most cases, everyone else just follows by example, because they aren’t worried they’ll be wasting time and energy anymore.

“You know, a heart can be broken, but it keeps on beating, just the same.”

- Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Fannie Flag

This one is for the teenagers going thru their first high school romance. The young adults entering their first serious relationship. The adults in their mid-stage of life who’ve maybe been committed or single for a while, and are realizing what they truly want.

A broken heart can appear at any time in your life. Maybe for you it’ll be early on. Maybe it’ll be in your old age.

Either way, it won’t be the end of your life.

Your pain does not define you, you define you.

Don’t let a broken heart prevent you from finding the love you truly deserve.

“As the light begins to intensify, so does my misery, and I wonder how it is possible to hurt so much when nothing is wrong.”

- Forbidden, Tabitha Suzuma

I feel this applies a lot for people who are hurting inside, but don’t feel they have a reason to. Whether that be because they think others have it worse, or because they think they’re being ungrateful of all the good things in their lives, they still feel the pain is not justified.

However, all pain is justified. There’s no competition for hurt, no hierarchy on misery. So why do a lot of us feel that we don’t have a right to be hurting, that there’s “nothing wrong”?

I’m not sure. I think a lot of feelings, like love and loss, are way too complicated for us as people to logically explain. But we feel them. And we should keep feeling them.

Don’t let anyone make you feel like your feelings are not real.

Anyways! *climbs out of the scattered and ruined debris of my feelings*
