me: *listens to Sufjan Stevens once*

me: honestly….. the world is alive…… there is so much pain in all things in the universe but the capacity to feel pain is what makes us beautiful, for the moments where we aren’t hurting are when we blossom, thrive as living creatures in the garden of our universe….. there is magic in existing and I’m in love with my friend whose gender I’ve left ambiguous
