Hey, if you're a minor and you're following my blog, I just need you to be aware:

You have been on this earth for fewer years than my cat has.

She turns 20 this week, everyone please say happy birthday 🥳💖

[dakt37]

Update! She tolerated wearing a hat for the occasion ✨

[dakt37]

Good news, everyone!! 🎉

We’re making it work

Things maybe didn’t go as plans

So here I am

Making it work

[icariaswings]

Ayyy I’ve been away for a while. Don’t worry I didn’t forget about Tumblr. Got distracted by a wonderful fandom (which I will forever be obsessed with from now on) and been focusing on creating an insta account for my writing. Feel free to check it out if you want :) but I think I’ll start posting the stuff I put there on here if I stay organized enough lol

I want to fail at fostering a cat with you

Ah how I love the sun

Seriously I feel like a plant who finally has been moved from the shadowed kitchen table and put out on a windowsill basking in rays of sunlight

I’m photosynthesizing. Yea. I think I’m a house plant

How long did it take you you to accept that those feelings are there, that they’re real, that they’re not going away

[icariaswings]

And somehow, in spite of it all, it was a good day :)

Today I saw a line that read “anger is just sad’s bodyguard”

I’ve always seen my sad as a way to keep anger at bay. But now anger is showing up more and I don’t understand why.

Sad always felt safe even if it was sad.

It was always real and raw and never ashamed. But anger is evasive and rash and wrong. So why isn’t sad safe anymore?

[icariaswings]

And you know what? I had a good day and finally it wasn’t just because of you

[icariaswings]

Know that one day you’ll be someone’s favourite character in their favourite book

[icariaswings]

I caved. I apologized. I explained myself even though I had every right to stay silent

[icariaswings]

And once again I find myself wondering why I let myself hope

[icariaswings]

it's kind of sad when you realize the people you once looked up to are actually part of the reason you feel so wrong now

[unapologeticearthangel]

Stop attacking people you don't understand

[icariaswings]

Icarus may have lost everything

But for just a moment

He had everything

And it was beautiful

A glimpse of a short scene I wrote: Lunar Love

But the moon. Oh, my moon. I could talk to my moon for hours on end, raced by an hourglass with grains of sand too big to slide down and end time. We would talk about tears and fear. Regret and absence. Anger and frustration and rage and devastation. And when we were done that, we would talk about all the things we love despite it all.
