These scenarios i conjure up of you in my bed

I wish they were real instead of just in my head

When writing couples, I like to use the Kiss Rule:

If they have to kiss for you to know they’re in love, you’re not writing a romance right.

[littlewhitemouse]

damn tho

[bronzyglow]

sharing music as a form of intimacy

[slavery]

How does anyone hate kids they are so funny I sold tickets to incredibles to this little girl and her mom and she’s like mom are we sitting next to each other and the moms like ya and the kid screamed YES so loud it broke my ears

[pkslider]

The other day I was bringing an older gentleman up the hill in a golf cart and we drove past this huge YMCA group of kids like 100 kids and driving past the first chunk like 10 of them yelled out “let me on” in unison and then since I’m driving so slowly to be safe, halfway in some kid leaned up and said “do you play fortnite” and I told him I played a little and he just pointed and shouted “THIS GUY PLAYS FORTNITE” and then like 20 kids started talking to me all at once about fortnite

[low-budget-mulan]

A kid asked me if I lived in the ambulance. I said yes.

The hero we deserve

[treerot]

When I was on register at Kohl’s a little girl came through with her grandma and she was so very excited to tell me the meaning of her name (I think it was like warrior of god) and she begged her grandma for her phone so she could google to find out what my name means too

[newterjuice]

i wear two spinner rings on one finger and one time at my last job a young girl (probably 6-8) said “your ring is very pretty” and when i showed her it was two rings she GASPED and said “does that mean you’re marrying two people?!”

[siren-singing]

I have this necklace with a mermaid on it that I wear to work a lot and I got asked by a kid if it gave me magic powers. I leaned in real close and told her in a low voice it gave me magical girl powers but it was a secret. She got this real serious look on her face and said to her mom “that lady has superpowers, don’t tell anyone or the government will take her away”.

[business-pug]

The other day i had to give a speech at my school despite my horrific fear of public speaking and afterwards i had kid come up to me and say well done to me. It was so cute.

[mcr-minivan-deactivated20200108]

god I love tiny kids

[uberfluss]

there was a kid in one of our science camps and he spent the whole week in a lab coat and goggles screaming “CHEMICALS” at the top of his lungs. he wouldn’t even tell us his name for the first two days just screamed CHEMICALS instead.

[moth-doe]

I was watching these kids at church today and one of them screamed and threw a toy car into the wall and it broke and the other one looked over calmly and said “does your insurance cover that?”

[armandyke]

I was taking the drink order for a family at work and I asked their kid what he wanted to drink and he just looked at me with a completely deadpan expression and said “vodka” and me and the parents just fucking lost it

[bemusedlybespectacled]

kid I used to babysit asked why my lips were different (she was two), and when I told her that it was because I was wearing lipstick, she yelled, “MAYA, I WANT LIPITZ.”

[itsmydrink]

I work in a school and every time I draw anything on the board (I am a terrible artist and usually resort to stick men), the kids will all go ‘I love your picture, that’s a great drawing Miss’. So blindly supportive.

[the-stray-liger]

One time my younger brother ordered a “non-alcoholic fanta” at a hotel bar and the bartender lost his shit and I was never the same man

[swankivy]

When I was student teaching, I was taking my fourth graders back from lunch and noticed one little girl looking longingly at the playground, where the younger kids were having recess. She heaved a big sigh and said, “I used to be that free.”

[cherryredblack]

i played the grim reaper in a high school production of the addams family musical and afterwards a little girl came up to me and asked me if i was the grim reaper and i said yes and she asked for my autograph. i nearly cried

[grapesofa]

I was sitting outside on a bench eating lunch when I ended up talking to two random kids I had never met (they were 5 and 3 I think). After a while the little boy started asking me lots of questions like “do you have a job”, “do you have homework” and “is that your car”. Then, after telling him that I’m still a high school student, he looks me in the eyes and asks “are you a mommy”. I laugh it off but then he asks again: “are you sure?”. I tell him that, yeah, I’m pretty sure that I don’t have a child I don’t know about. He keeps looking me in the eye before he says with absolute certainty “no…. you’re a mom”. He sounded so sure of himself that didn’t dare to deny him any more. Guess I’m now destined to be the mom-friend forever.

[sevenpercentmango]

My self-esteem is like the first layer of ice on the pond after the first snow. So fragile and thin, that even a harmless touch would begin to crack the surface, revealing the darkness underneath

// 9:50 pm

[novocainesugar]

Slow dancing, pixie drunk on the feeling of your arms around me and the ecstasy of spinning eachother around on the dance floor

Up in the air 60 feet laughing as the neon skyline tells the stories of the people who laugh and revel below.

Nights where the world seemed so small, and my tears burned my skin and your chest seem so long ago. You'd whisk me off to the dance floor, hold me tight, and then I'd learn that my comfort smelled like you.

- 3:20 am // go back.

[novocainesugar]

// 3:03 am

Ah yes, just

You,

Me,

And the wealth of power politics between two headstrong teenagers who can't seem to give love a chance.

[pukicho]

We dream of the summertime during winter. We yearn for the winter during summer.

What fatal flaw has God injected the human psyche with? Why must we always strive for the things furthest away from us?

[florenceisnottrash]

are you okay :(

[pukicho]

My feet are cold as FUCK dude

[smouldered]

sharing music is a love language

„Listen to the pain. It’s both history teacher and fortune teller. Pain teaches us who we are, Wade. Sometimes it’s so bad we feel like we’re dying, but we can’t really live until we die a little, can we?“

[tansdiary]

hearing you laugh sends butterflies fluttering in my stomach. it makes me feel so happy i could burst. one day, i hope i’m the reason you laugh that precious laugh.

[kushandwizdom]

If someone isn't available during your most crucial time, then their presence any other time is useless.

[mymindsecho]

This isn’t realistic for adults. I’m sorry it’s just not.

Don’t fall into believing that, “if they’re a true friend they’ll drop everything and run to be by your side!” crap.

As a responsible adult there will be times that your friends are hurting and you won’t be able to go to them.

There are times that you will have to go to work, or take your sick kid to the doctor, or do many other things that will prevent you from being there for your friend.

When your friend calls you and they’re falling apart and it’s ten minutes until you have to leave for work, you’re not a bad friend for saying, “Look, I love you. I’m sorry this is happening, but I have to go. I’ll call you back tonight when the kids are asleep.” Or “I’m so sorry this is happening. I love you and I want to be here for you but I’ve got to get to work. I’ll call and check on you during my lunch.”

Adult life is hectic and busy with important things all the time and unfortunately it’s also full of shitty things happening to people we love.

Do your best to be there for the people you love and ask for support when you need it but be understanding when being a responsible adult comes before helping you.

[neurotoxinsonline]

The idea that people need to be there any time you need them is really damaging and unhealthy, too. You can’t place value on a person or a relationship based solely on whether or not they’re available, no questions asked, whenever you need them.

In addition to the above: sometimes, someone simply does not have the energy to help. Maybe they’re coming out of a rough patch themself, maybe they have been busy all day,maybe a chronic illness is flaring up. There are a myriad of reasons someone may not be able to be there.

Obviously, if someone is taking you for granted, and never seems to care how you’re doing, that’s an issue. But to write someone off because their life and your life didn’t line up quite right at a given point in time, or maybe even on more than one occasion, is not a healthy way to handle things.

Get a man that STAYS geeked over you, not just in the beginning.

pro tip kiddos

take the time now and become so fucking good. practice; constantly, everything. learn everything you can. get upperclassmen, staff, anyone you can, to teach you. learn from your own mistakes, learn from the mistakes of people around you. learn from every source you have at your disposal. get creative. play easy songs you enjoy, because they will motivate you to practice. practice hard exercises that make you want to give up, because they will make you better. take the years you have now and become the best you can be, because regardless of what situation high school lands you in, you will be so good your chances at become better will soar. your peers will look up to you, because you have so much to teach and share. your superiors and staff will look up to you, because you have developed habits and skill and that are invaluable and have so much to give. you will have so many doors open to you, because you took the time to open them before you knew they existed. and finally brother, you will have learned, before your time, the most important lesson of all; what it truly means to be a musician, and that there is still so much more room to grow

the five love languages are the brushing of fingertips, sarcasm, exploring magical forests, pizza, and late night drives

[noonymoon]

damn.. i just.. love rocks so much  like, think about it.. these amazing little fuckers come straight out of our earth, are formed under wild conditions and strong influences.. and turn out yet so beautiful. each and every one of them is truly unique in their own way – with all their cracks and flaws – they tell a story as old as the universe and they have a soul full of memories.
