was playing "fetch" with the ocean today by tossing stones into it and watching them wash back up with the tide a few meters away, and it got me thinking about grief and the things we carry with us even after we lose them

Your 20s are for lusting after furniture you can’t afford actually

[deadbeatmaker]

it’s kinda fucked up that you’re only an age for a year. I didn’t know how to be 23 yet, let me try again

[deadbeatmaker]

I’m going to think about this forever…

Refaat Alereer: If I die, let it be a tale

[ifixbrokenmemories]

something about Ocean Vuong saying Brooklyn's too cold tonight & all my friends are three years away and all the loneliness that comes with adulthood and remembering strangers who were friends too long ago.

I love being alone <- girl who has known nothing but loneliness her entire life and so has no choice but to take comfort in it

anyone else grieving & mourning & lamenting & kicked apart by nostalgia & going silently about their lives?

[wvterways]

most of all i hope you all find a reason to wake up and love each day despite it all. i hope you hear the birds singing or you buy a new candle or use a new fabric softener and it inspires you to keep going. each day holds so many possibilities. live to see the different outcomes. i believe in you and I’m proud of you for existing despite it all. you were made to experience life, so let life’s experiences be the reason you continue on.
