“she was my first love..”

—

she was my first love and we were madly in love. however, I was too young for serious relationships and chose career over love.

Now I’m 30, recently I met her in a shopping center, she’s now happily married and has a son. We sat in a cafe for four hours talking about everything, we both confessed we had the best time of our lives together.

well I came home and simply burst into tears,  how stupid I was to exchange the love of my life for all this.

Don’t let “your" people go.

A letter from the previous owner!

Hi everyone! I've had this blog since college and its crazy to think that was 7 years ago. Thousands of posts. Tons of love. This place has been my safe haven in a very tumultuous world where I didnt feel I could truely be myself on any other form of social media. But due to unforseen circumstamces and alot of self reflection as well as advice from others I have made the difficult decision to move on and start over with both accounts. It is sad to see this place go and I feel I have left myself on these pages for everyone. I have left the blog in very capable hands to do with as she will. I sincerely hope that she will find as much joy as I have in these pages and enjoy the followers I have grown to love. Anyone that wants is welcome to ask about my new spot once I'm set up and id love to hear from all the lovies. Kisses and hugs and all my love.

I don’t need to get revenge on anybody. What happened, happened. It’s over. It’s time for me to get back to my life and continue to improve as a person.

I may think of you softly from time to time. But I’ll cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again.

Arthur Miller (via tanya-nicole)

1 am thoughts after the week I have had. Trust few and love fewer. I'm tired of being a bleeding heart. I worry about people ive never met, concerned for the hearts of others, while a hands in my chest ripping out my own. Somedays I wish I could stop being an empath. Some days I wish I could hate people. Ill have to settle for silence instead.

[moonlightacademy]

Seeing violence, cruelty, bullying is unbearable.

You know when someone is lying to you

You pick up physical symptoms off of other people such as colds, body aches, headaches, pains, etc.

You are always looking out for the underdog. Anyone whose suffering, in emotional pain or being bullied draws your attention.

Others will always want to unload problems on you, even strangers.

You are a good listener.

You are constantly tired and drained of energy.

You are drawn to healing, holistic therapies, and all things metaphysical. 

You have a creative streak and a vivid imagination.

Animals and children take a natural liking to you.

You are fairly quiet especially in crowds.

If you answered yes to all or most of these you are definitely an empath.

Allow yourself to have lots of quiet time without electronics. Curl up with a book and put on soothing music instead.

Take time out of your day to sit in nature

Pet a dog, cat, horse, rabbit, etc.

Meditate

If crowds are overwhelming, eat a high-protein meal beforehand (this grounds you) and sit in the far corner, not dead center.

Ground yourself

Cleanse your space, aura, and chakras of negative energy

Practise breathing exercises

Carry or wear protective crystals

Develop a energy shield for your body

Okay, at this point there has to be something wrong with me, right? I’ve watched this 20 times in the last half hour, I still don’t know what they are saying half the time, but it doesn’t seem to matter because i’ve been crying my eyes out laughing for the entire last half hour …

[vergak]

what the fuck is this from i gotta know

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

it’s called letterkenny and it’s about a man who gets dumped and then goes on to shirk his pacifism and reclaim and hold his title as the toughest dude in the rural town of letterkenny ontario. every episode cold opens like this in increasingly bizarre ways.

[shiftingpath]

I read the bit about not being able to parse what’s being said and then I read the bit about it being set in this fuckin province, and I thought, like, what kind of accent could they possibly use that was so incomprehensible while still setting it in northern goddamn Ontario? and actually, okay, you know what, despite having lived immersed in it my entire life I’m not sure i’ve ever seen this exact accent on tv before, it is just weird to see actors using it

[neonbonsaii]

My cousins grew up with the guy who wrote this show and is the main actor. It’s scary accurate for hick town Ontario (it’s based on the town of Listowel) and apparently some of the characters are based so closely on real people that they’ve recognized themselves while watching.

[mairzymarzipan]

i don’t think people understand that people can ‘love’ you and not actually love you

like my grandmother ‘loved’ me, but she also was always trying to change me.  she tried to take me away from my (catholic bisexual) mother.  she made me wear dresses when i was there.  she always tried to get me to go to church and was always asking me if i was dating a boy yet

i spent years feeling guilty that i wasn’t what she wanted me to be until my mom told me one day “she never bothered to know the real you”

and it’s true.  any time i tried to show her something about myself, even cook for her, it would be dismissed, and a replacement would be offered.  even northern food was somehow a sin.  

she loved me what she thought i should be, she never loved me.  

bc people who love you, they love you for all the stuff that makes you you.  they never consider that it makes you inconvenient.

[cameoappearance]

“It was true: the other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon loves its gold.“

Loving someone like a prized possession is a very different thing from loving someone like a person you care about.

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

THIS THO

This is so true…

[glumshoe]

People easily mistake neurodivergent speech patterns and communication styles for run-of-the-mill pretentiousness.

[glumshoe]

I don’t want to get too specific right now, but a lot of people who are neurodivergent (namely autistic, but there’s lots of overlap) struggle with communication. To them, writing/typing may be far easier and more natural than speaking aloud, but it can still come off as unusually formal, overly precise, or more awkwardly structured than usual. Sometimes it’s interpreted as “pretentiousness” because it doesn’t have the same casual cadence many neurotypical writers may use.

[anarmyofawesome]

This.

[hasenfu]

wait people consider this offensive?

[glumshoe]

Not offensive so much as irritating, I guess. It’s low-hanging fruit and easy to mock whenever people pick up on something “off” about you.

Other times, people assume that you employ formal language or “advanced” vocabulary because you’re trying too hard to sound intelligent or superior. What you intend to be clear and specific may be interpreted as condescension.

[glumshoe]

The curse goes deeper; you can look back at your own writing days/months/years later and think, “Wow. Who’s the pretentious dickbag who wrote that?!” and then

[sparrf-blog]

i keep thinking about that tribe of baboons where all the alpha males died from eating poison garbage and then the baby boy monkeys were taken care of by the lady monkeys and never got socialized to be aggressive so they all just live peacefully and groom eachother instead of fighting and killing eachother and its been generations of that, it only took 1 wipeout of the aggressive males to change the whole social order of the species i am crying they must be so much happier
