having a quiet life is so.. underrated. i don’t mean it in the sense that people who’re open and loud and busy aren’t important, but when our culture has significantly put so much emphasis on the definition of success as fame, extraordinary accomplishments, greatness and importance and excessive wealth, i think there is so much power to be found in our own anonymity. in the silence of life. in not being constantly perceived, analyzed and performing for the world. in being able to take a walk, smile at strangers and just notice the world without all that noise. taking the biggest pleasure out of the smallest joys, like a cup of coffee or blowing out birthday candles. knowing that our lives don’t have to be a grand spectacle for others in order to have worth and cause a good impact.

Honestly, my goal in life is just to be a very warm person. I want to be as loving and as kind as I can be.

I’m such a slut for casual intimacy. Like yesss rest your chin on my shoulder while we're in line at the grocery store, I live for that shit.

i love communication. like yes pls tell me wtf ur thinking so i dont have to come up with conclusions myself

[nothingbutloveforyou]

in the mood for someone to reassure me and tell me i'm genuinely what they want

i simply need everyone to understand that i am tired all of the time. literally at all moments. if i ever go somewhere and do something, it is not because i am somehow full of energy, but instead that i have carefully stored up all of my little bits of energy like a dragon collecting jewels, and am now vaporizing them all at once

You know Dating Cis men has actually showed me something that makes me really mad. Yall are way to mean to guys, like regular guys. They are litterally so insecure and it makes me mad ok. i dont think we realise how much pressure they actually feel to be like ridicuously muscly in order to be attractive. We all keep saying that the beauty standards they are held to are "power fantasies" but i think just because its not what women actually find attractive about a guy doesnt mean that they dont feel like they have to meet that standard. not to mention there are lots of girls that do hold them to that standard.

i just think its absolutely crazy how mean we are to guys about their looks. and then theyre also made fun of for being insecure like all the time??? i see so many woke women tell men that they are ugly and worthless and then make jokes about men being insecure. like youre contributing to the problem?

i dunno its just heartbreaking when i tell a guy they are actually good looking and they dont beleive me. I think if we started complimenting and hyping up men more they might not always mistake it for flirting

The thing that pulled me out of the “Men are awful, men are pigs, men have it all so easy all the time and don’t care about women” mindset was... being friends with cis men. I had gone several years with no cis guy friends, and living with my divorced mother with no other family in the immediate area, I didn’t get a lot of exposure to cis men outside of work which wasn’t generally the best experience. So with most of my experiences with men being neutral at best, my opinion wasn’t very high and it was easy to accept that they all sucked or at least didn’t care.

Then I joined a D&D group where I was the only afab player. And suddenly I was spending a considerable amount of time interacting with cis guys. And I saw how they cared, how they tried hard not to be That Guy, how they tried to be self aware of how they interacted with me. I got to hear about their problems and the pressures they felt. I had to assure them that excitedly telling me about something I ended up already knowing about wasn’t mansplaining and they weren’t being Bad Men by doing it. 

I’m dating one of them now and I have to assure him he is not a hideous monster and I do actually enjoy looking at him. He’s always saying how he’s gross and doesn’t understand how I can stand to be around him. If I say something nice about him, or don’t say something negative, he’ll say I’m the first partner to give him such compliments/not shame his appearance. And this isn’t one-sided, my self-esteem is in the crapper and he’s been helping get it out of there as well. And he’s not some rare, magical unicorn. He’s just a guy. They’re all just guys. Yes, there are shitty guys out there, and unfortunately those are the ones you’ll be interacting with against your will in public because the better ones know better. But if you let that form your entire worldview of men, you end up sinking into a very negative place where half the population is The Enemy and I can say from experience that’s an awful place to be in.

every day i wake up alone in my little creaky beloved bed and I look around with sleepy eyes and realize it’s a “remember, loneliness is still time spent with the world” kind of morning
