calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.
Not "belongs to me"; "belongs with me."
"fuck it we ball" is for stress about the future "it is what it is" is for stress about the past and "this too shall pass" is for stress about the present thank you for coming to my TED talk
Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me
Marriage is good and weddings are great but I hate modern wedding culture. You donât need to bankrupt yourself to have a nice wedding. Stop supporting the wedding industry, stop buying outrageously priced engagement rings, stop spending 10k on a dress youâll only ever wear once.
Coming from a professional event planner - weddings are egregiously expensive because companies openly raise prices at the word âwedding.âÂ
Pro Tip - Never drop the word wedding while planning if you donât need to. Most things can be for âan event youâre planning.â This obviously doesnât include things like the venue, DJ (who needs specific wedding songs), and the wedding dress company if youâre going that route versus just buying a dress.
For my wedding I got âdiscountedâ cupcakes, flowers, decor, bridesmaids dresses, groomsman attire, and invitations. I did this by either searching for things that arenât marketed for weddings or not telling the companies I was working with it was for a wedding. Because honestly, most of the time they donât need to know why youâre ordering.
These companies target people planning their weddings and markup everything the second âweddingâ is said. And itâs said often because people assume the services change exponentially for weddings. They absolutely do not.Â
The best example are the cupcakes I had for my wedding. I used a designer cupcake store in town instead of spending $1000 on a wedding cake. If you place a large order of cupcakes with a cake tree for display - it costs about $150 for 100 (which is what I did). When you order their âweddingâ package - the price raised to a $700 base for 100 cupcakes. The only other perk includes a âtasting.â Forget that. Our tasting was buying a few cupcakes in flavors we thought weâd like and picked three. It cost maybe $20.Â
What these companies do is scummy and targets people who donât have information about the event industry.
I will yell it from the rooftops until people realize thereâs a better way.
This post legitimately knocked me out of a doomscroll. Had to put down my phone and everything and stare at a wall.
I really do regret my inaction the most. Every time. All of my future problems are always caused by things I failed to do in the present. And every time, I get so mad at past Me for not even trying because Iâm so afraid to fail.
Like. Damn. Didnât expect pixel art of some planets to hit me so hard.
my favorite love language is trying, actually
like when people try to learn your hobbies or try to play the same sports that you play in an effort to get closer to you, people who try to love you the way you love people, people who will go to places you want to visit just for your sake, people remembering, putting in an effort. just. trying
Its literally so incredible that the clitoris is just there to make u feel good like omg Thank you. like its not there for fertility reason or anything its just there to Chill and have fun... feminism

"someone who allows you to rest" is the relationship dynamic of all time
A parent that welcomes you back home after things have fallen apart. A best friend whose voice alone who can make you relax. A spouse who convinces you to stay in bed an extra hour and leave the dishes for later. A stranger who sees you tired and gives up their seat on the train. Augh. The humanity of it
date someone who is interested in you. i donât mean someone who thinks youâre cute or funny. i mean someone who wants to know every insignificant detail about you. someone who wants to read every word you write. someone who wants to hear every note of your favourite song, or watch every scene of your favourite movie. someone who wants to find every scar on your body, and learn where they came from. someone who wants to know your favourite brand of toothpaste, and which quotes resonate deep inside your bones when you hear them. there is a difference between attraction and interest. find the person who wants to learn every aspect of who you are.
I saw an article called âMake Peace With Your Unlived Lifeâ and it really made me stop and think. So much of our lives is mourning for what we didnât become. Itâs a waste. We didnât waste any opportunities. What came and went was not meant for us.
Know what I want more of in my fiction? âNice Guyâ villains. âIncelâ villains. Villains who exhibit the most toxic aspects of current masculinity and culture and are shamed for it.
Like Tighten from Megamind.
I know itâs years old but this movie is still the best, especially because of the characterization of their villain. He receives a dozen soft noâs from Roxanne (the Lois Lane archetype), itâs suggested heâs been getting them for years, and he still pursues her even to the point of endangering her life. When he finally understands that her ânoâ is final, he throws a superpowered shit fit and tries to kill her and her actual love interest (Megamind) and televises it in a ploy to get sympathy (âa reminder of the night she ferociously ripped out my heartâ). He has no concept of boundaries or consent, and it is shown for the vile behavior that it is.
And the thing is? I canât remember another villain like him? Not anywhere. You could make an argument that Snape is a Nice Guy, but the narrative doesnât criticize the behavior. To the contrary, his eternal love obsession with Lily is praised. Every character who comes even close to Tighten, ends up praised by the end. And Iâm sick of it.
Get on Megamindâs level, screenwriters.
I hope, with all my heart, that you never, ever, ever have to live through a half-assed love story.
So many people stay in relationships that provide them with anything but peace, only to have someone to talk to at the end of the day. Many of us try to hold on to the crumbs of 'potential,' even if it's evidently not meant for us. This is not meant to be a reality check because, God knows, this is the reality many people have lived through, are living, or will live. I hope that if you ever find yourself in the heart of a situation like this, you will have the courage to say no and walk away. It's so hard, but ask anyone who has been there and escaped a mediocre love story â it's also worth it.
one of the greatest tragedies in life is that you will always be loved more than you will ever know. someone in class finds your presence inviting and warm, even if youâve only ever exchanged a few words with themâmaybe none at all. someone on the street loves your smile and it gets them down the next few streets. someone you used to be friends with still wishes to fondly call your name. someone you used to be friends with five years ago would give anything to be in the same room as you today. someone who regularly comes into work is disappointed when you arenât there to brighten their day. someone missed you today. someone noticed you were gone. someone loves you when youâre there; someone loves you when youâre nowhere to be found at all. you think you have always disappeared when youâre no longer in the picture, but youâve never left the frame.
Do not punish the behaviour you want to see
I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?
But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize, snarkily say, âSo, youâve decided to join usâ?
Or when someone does something theyâve had trouble doing, say, âWhy canât you do that all the time?â (Happened to me, too often.)
Or any sentence containing the word âfinallyâ.Â
If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Donât complain about how itâs not enough. Donât bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.
Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.
is the world really such a terrible place? yesterday i asked if oat milk was extra and the barista said yes so i said ok just regular milk then and when she gave me my chai latte she whispered âi used oat milk ;)â doesnt that make u want to live another day?
here is my life philosophy: next week there might be someone ahead of you in line at the store whoâs short a quarter and you have a quarter and you can give it to them. if you werenât there, theyâd have to put something back. the week after that you could be getting lunch and the waiter might ask if you want some pancakes someone else ordered and never picked up. you could find someoneâs lost cat. you could watch someoneâs bag while they go to the restroom. there are so many ways you are going to touch other peopleâs lives and they are going to touch yours and thereâs no way to know when itâs going to happen. so you have to keep living!!! i wouldnât want to die today knowing that tomorrow the barista might give me free oat milk just to be nice.Â
