I think I've somehow become an aesthetic blog. I'm not sure how it happened. Anyway I reblog a lot of pretty and cute things with some miscellaneous stuff here and there. I'm currently obsessed with the 1920s and Pre-Code Hollywood. She/Her

“That’s why it’s hard to make friends when you’re older,” she said. “Friendship is rude.”

Her friend’s eyes widened. “What?”

“Think about it! When we’re kids we decide who we like and stick by them no matter what. As adults, we’re taught to be polite.

But, friendship is an imposition— at least, I want it to be. Call me after nine o’clock. Don’t think you’ll ever wear out your welcome. Overshare, show up at my door, go to the grocery store with me so we can waste another hour chatting.

We’ll never be friends if we spend all of our energy trying not to bother each other.”

I lost my home and job in Gaza because of the war. I am the only provider for my wife and four children, as well as my siblings (12 boys and 14 girls). I can no longer support them, and the situation is beyond what I can bear. Please help in any way you can, even by simply sharing this message.
