the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

people will complain about being asked to do things for friends or complain about a friend seeking comfort from them, and then turn around and wonder why none of their relationships feel strong, real, and worthwhile. we build connections by being kind and vulnerable with one another. it's OK to say no when someone asks something of you obviously, but you should WANT to help the people you love when you are able to, because you love them. and you can never expect to form close and intimate bonds with another human unless you prove yourself to be safe, trustworthy, and nice to be around

Don't think,

You'll trip,

Oh what a wonder,

To know what someone wanted to say,

Only knowing you'll betray,

Yourself in your head.

I feel dead.

All up the trees

A mist fills,

I think the sea is turning,

Ocean blue, to dark magenta.

After all the distance,

I can still feel you.

It's not another hue.

Its just,

You.

A thought.

But a step backwards,

Is a fall down stream,

Heading toward the waterfall,

I feel everything may fall over the edge,

Or just fall apart.

It's really an art,

How everything comes together so seamlessly,

Yet it can fall apart so effortlessly,

Right before your eyes.

Sometimes all someone needs,

Is for you to just be there.

For you to care,

Help see them through their struggle,

Care that they're in a tug of war,

A war in their head.

A kind heart,

Compassionate ear,

And someone to say,

"there's nothing to fear, I'm here."

just so everyone is aware - one of the best ways for bird flu to spread is by encouraging birds to congregate. while the bird flu epidemic from 2022 continues strong into 2023, you should almost always stop feeding birds. this illness can spread between types of birds - you encouraging birds to feed in your backyard could cause the death of the person down the road’s backyard chickens. the disease RARELY spreads to other animals and humans, but it is zoonotic and CAN infect both pets and people, so be cautious and discourage spread of the disease. if you find a deceased bird do not handle it without protective wear and do not let pets interact with dead wildlife. im not going to launch into an outdoor cat spiel but if you have a cat that catches birds regularly, consider stopping them from doing so while this is going on for their & your safety.

"And what if one day, a hand grasped the sun out of the sky? Would we create light, or be light?

Would flowers bloom in our hearts or through vessels of ground; forcing them to the sky?

Is it destiny to need light, or can we thrive in the darkness too? do seeds sprout in the dark, the same way we grow in light?"

One deep breath

Taken in attempt

To reconcile with the effects

Of what a decision made has left

The presence of fear and doubt suffocate the mind

Which takes its toll on the lungs

High strung in a chord with tension

Breaks occur until *Snap*

A disconnect

To try to reconnect

Before things are seen in retrospect
