“I became good at pretending. I became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. And sometimes, when I did a really good job of pretending, I even fooled myself.”

So I had the best night.

I closed myself off in my room and turned up the Bon Iver. I took a knife to a glow stick and I lit up my whole room. Dancing around just flinging that shit everywhere. My floor became the heavens and my ceiling became a black hole. It let me feel infinite. I put it on my body and I jumped on my bed and just fell backwards. It was like I was falling endlessly. I laid across my bed and stared at my carpet now turned into a mass of constellations. I drew the big and little dipper. Astronomy just fascinates me. This huge ball of gas is existing millions of lightyears away and by the time we see it here on Earth, it has already become unstable and died yet we still see it for generations. That blows my mind. Anyways, it was one of the best nights of my life. To be perfectly happy by yourself is one of the greatest achievements man can accomplish.

The Colors of the Wind.

I wish you would have kept me. Comfortable is an understatement for how we were. Cuddling under the blankets was completely natural and innocent. That’s something we don’t have anymore: our innocence. We crossed that point a while ago and I’m afraid we can never go back. I don’t know what you’d call us. Reminds me of John Mayer. Friends, lovers, or nothing? I honestly wish you could just tell me. I had a dream about you last night. All I remember is that you told me to be more colorful then took me to a field full of every kind of wild flower imaginable. And you looked at me again and said “you need more colors” and then you vanished, leaving me in this magical field wondering what you wanted me to uncover. So here I am. Sitting, trying to think like a rainbow.

The grief is starting to.. It's exceptionally hard to think because I'm sad. I'm fucking angry. I love you so much. My ride or die bitch who pushed everyone as individuals to do better, for themselves and for others. Getting to know you and create experiences with you are some of the best times of my life. Please continue to keep an eye out for me like you always do. We tend to like to get in trouble, and some guidance would be appreciated.

xoxoxo

[literally-fuck-it-all]

For more than half of both of our lives we have walked side by side. Moments with you over these 16 years, are some of my top favorite experiences of my life! You are magical, and you reminded others that they were capable of magic too. Brilliant and savvy, kind yet confident. You as a person are magnificent. I love you bitch.

Storytime: My brother Dave used to manage a Little Ceasars, and he hated it. So when my mom asked him what he wanted on his birthday cake, he jokingly said the Little Ceasars guy being stabbed with his own spear. My mom, who doesn't always get sarcasm, didn't even question it. She lovingly made him exactly what he asked for. It's my favorite cake ever.

Happy Ides of March to Ceasar getting stabbed!

If you want to be able to do a thing, you need to do the thing. If you want to be able to keep doing a thing, you need to keep doing the thing.

This is a fundamental truth and it fucking sucks.

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?

[doppelbangin]

Run into a cave and break your ankle so that people have to come find you and they see you lying at the bottom of this beautiful cave and maybe there’s a waterfall and the light from the crystals makes you look really beautiful and they say “Are you okay?” and you say “I think so” and they say “oh my God have you been here alone this whole time with a broken ankle” and you say “it’s okay” and they say “you’re so brave” and you are brave and you look so beautiful surrounded by cave crystals and everyone stands over you and says “oh wow” and “you poor beautiful thing” and “I’m so sorry we let you run into the cave but I’m so glad we found you” and let them carry you home and promise to be your best friends forever and that everything’s their fault and also they named the cave after you and you’re prettier than all of your enemies and your enemies all died of jealousy while you were in the cave.

You ever think about how weird hippos are ecologically speaking?

There's literally no other megafauna on earth that spends the entire day lounging around in water, mostly just socializing, only to come onto land to feed at night.

I remember when I used to do education programs on hippos, most people assumed they ate aquatic plants, and that that's the whole reason they were in water. Meanwhile, hippos are basically just giant nocturnal cows that eat only grass.

[weaselle]

most animals that start adapting to live more of their lives in water:

"i must grow my bones lighter and less dense so that i don't get trapped on the bottom and may float easier in this new environment"

hippos: "denser. heavier bones. MOAR dense. Make sink the most."

mother nature: but how will you get off the bottom when you sink?

hippos: Make muscles more too, give all muscle.

mother nature: and to stay warm in the water? a big layer of fat?

hippos: no! no fat only muscle.

mother nature: o....kay. And, you eat aquatic plants, that's why you spend so much time in the water?

hippos: lol no. eat land grass, like cow.

mother nature: i see. right. You eat mostly grass, so, flat grinding teeth?

hippos: hell no. big spike teeth. sharp big teeth. Biggest

mother nature: what, like lions? 3 inch fangs?

hippos: course not. giant fuck-off teeth, 18 inches. Also, not just one pair, three pairs of giant sharp teeth. give

mother nature: but you eat... grass?

hippos: yeah. lol. Sometimes eat a zebra tho. Or a antelope. Maybe eat a crocodile, you don't know. Give all teeth, giant fuck-off teeth. Most bone! most muscle! most teeth! Me.

mother nature: y'know what? fuck it, sure, here you go

hippo: ...

hippo: i'm very angry now

As someone who lost their father to cancer I feel this is very important to share. Please vote in 2024, and vote for those who care more about the people rather than bullshit politics.

(I don’t typically talk politics or world affairs but this hit me hard.)

The article:

Congress voted against funding a cure for cancer just to block a win for Biden

The Moonshot program was the largest, organized effort by the U.S. government to find cancer cures. Congress voted it down.
