I have the most urgent need to be insufferably over-educated. Like i need to read literally every book ever written.

i lowkey carry within me an ancient sadness

[tpwrtrmnky]

I'm so fascinated by people who seem to believe that analyzing media is somehow taking the joy out of it. Like. Do you not enjoy thinking? Does taking stuff apart and figuring out how it works not give you a hit of dopamine? And you get mad when you see people having fun in this way? What a sad, miserable way to engage with the world.

sometimes it feels like my entire life is an embarrassing moment.

when people my age make films about how depressing and lame it is to be doing nothing in your mid 20s im like well you just directed a movie so you cant possibly understand

how is one supposed to deal with being abruptly friend-dumped for trying to talk about how they hurt my feelings, after over a decade of friendship, and realizing they actually may have never cared as much about/respected me as i did them?

how am i supposed to process/grieve this?

i feel a weird relief, but also every other important memory or inside joke is tied to them and feels somewhat tainted with the suspicion that i was alone in my care and respect for them the whole time.

propaganda i am not falling for:

always moving on. some goodbyes need to rot a little. some griefs need to be held in the mouth like a stone.

beauty defined by algorithms. beauty exists in crow feet and smile lines

pretending to be chill. i’m not chill. i care deeply and inconveniently. i read into things. i write poems about eye contact

beige apartments with no soul. give me bookshelves and incense and loud art

sneaky links and unclear intentions. i want devotion. and also clarity

treating books as decor. read them. dog-ear them. argue with them in the margins

tumblr is for putting your stuff somewhere that's not secret but also not for anyone particular to see so it's true neutral in a really nice way

Major human pastimes:

frying dough

classifying things and then arguing about the classifications

[pocket-noose]

fuck it all. why is trying to decide how to spend my time so difficult and stressful!!!! it is soooOOOoooo counter productive! time is precious and i don’t want to get it wrong- yet i’m capable of wasting it all thinking about what to do instead of ACTUALLY doing anything anyway! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! FUCK! this makes me want to tell the girl who told me, “your brain must be a terrible place to live,” she was right.
