love will be my canvas

books have a certain way of worrying about death, and the death of loved ones. i read three books today (not entirely, finished up the first, devoured the second, just starting on the third) and death just centred around all the stories so much — and I can’t help but think about how the loss of someone and grief is so important to us in our art.

no matter how many times someone dies in a story our heart breaks a little, even though it always happens. yet if a friend were to die in real life I’d probably handle it even worse than most characters do

and what are your true colours, really? are they the best version of yourself or the worst? how can something as formless as the human personality have a “true” state, if it is morphing constantly like an amoeba?

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

honestly? most of the things I’m interested in are purely because a friend was interested in them. so yeah, did i hate biology before i found a friend who was obsessed with it? yeah, i did. but she never forced me to like it, she just made it her own and now whenever i see biology i think of her, i think of her eagerness to learn it all, and i too suddenly wanna learn.

i agree that friends shouldn’t force their interests on others, but liking something solely because a friend likes it doesn’t hurt either.

It's not that I don't want to visit, it just wasn't on the list I made in my head

[greenekangaroo]

Lord when I say my neurodivergent ass HATES THIS SHIT

You do NOT spring visits on me. Or tasks that will take longer than an hour. Don't assume we talked about it if there is no documentation and for the love of God don't expect me to be happy about it.

Am I wet? Am I on my period? Did I pee my pants?- next on wtf is going on down there.

I’m so glad this is a universal wondering among vagina-owners, haha.

‘Vagina-owners’

[anxiousnerd]

Tune in next time for: Are these menstrual cramps? Am I pregnant? Is it just gas? I wouldn’t have to ask these questions if I didn’t have a damn uterus

[sexylibrarian1]

Next week: Is it a bladder infection? An ovarian cyst? Do I have endometriosis? Oh God please do not let it be cervical cancer! A 20/20 special

[occupyvenus]

Y'all are forgetting the all-time classic: Is it just my period or is my appendix about to burst? Some nice tea and a heatpack or 911 and emergency surgery?

[phantoms-lair]

There is actually a test for that last one!

Place your hand over the pain, press down slightly and release. If the pain doesn’t change by any great margin, you’re fine. If it suddenly becomes some painful you can barely stand, Get thee to an Emergency Room

reblog for the safety of vaginas and their owners

[greedyagain]

The appendix test works with or without a vagina so reblogging for everyone.

everywhere i turn i see my friends, they are in the music i hear and the books i read and the rain that falls. and i miss them so much, friends that i see so often in the soundwaves yet haven’t held in my arms for months or even years.

and sometimes i wish they knew how much i thought about them, and just how vast that infinity is.

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

people say math isn’t a form of love, yet it is through math that we’ve chosen to make February the special month that sometimes has an extra day, and everyone makes that day a little special for themselves. a reminder to appreciate the little things, even.

so, i think the language of numbers is as much of a love language as any other, even if a little misunderstood.

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

if i reminded you of my love every so often would you get sick of it?

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

and honestly I'm always so jealous of romantic love and people in romantic relationships who have someone to always be there to love them and do stupid things with them and stuff and frankly I wish I had someone like that for myself, but with every passing day romantic love becomes less and less as one of the important forms of love to me

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

I’m terrified of losing a growing friendship to circumstance

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

It would be a lie to say I don’t expect anything from my friends. I do. I invest my effort and energy and love into the friendship and expect them to do the same.

I don’t expect them to be happy all the time, or perfect, but they’ve ended up being my friends purely because of their capacity to love, and that’s a standard I hold them to. That also means on their bad days I shower them with love and remind them why love is so important in a world full of mistrust and hatred.

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

I love it when humans just randomly do cute quirky things like it's such a spontaneous moment of pure brazen happiness and it reminds me why we even bother staying alive in the first place

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

there’s something so magical about the happiness the people you love can bring. you could be swimming through life devoid of emotion or in an abyss of sadness, and someone you love could pop by and inject a rush of happiness just by existing.

and it’s kinda rewarding knowing that you’re probably that aura of happiness for at least one of your friends.

[ipaintedtheskiesforyou]

We live in a world where we invest so much into things that won’t last forever, yet with the kind of effort some of us put into such things, you’d think they would. Builders pour layers upon layers of concrete to build stable buildings, only for them to be demolished when their lease is up. Chefs spend time and effort creating and plating meals, only for the meals to be consumed. Friends pour love and care and commitment into a friendship, trying to brush aside the fact that it is almost inevitable that one day it would come to an end, hoping that it would last forever.
