the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

all of my writing is actually just thinly-veiled fantasy about being seen at your worst and still being loved

I’ve never seen an animal look more like a live-action autism creature

Kid today (probably like 6 years) came up to me and was like "teacher teacher what's your name" and i was like "asha :) also im not a teacher" and he was like "okay asha asha asha I need help" and i was like "okay buddy what's wrong" and he showed me this chunk of metal he'd found sitting in the sun that he was just carrying around and it was super sharp and super hot from the sun and he was like "my hand hurts :(" and i was like "ok. put that down. does it still hurt?" And he did and was like "no." and then he picked it up again and immediately went "my hand hurts :(" again and then I was like "kid. put that down and stop touching it" and he was like "ok but when I touch it my hand hurts :(" and i was like "Please Just Stop Touching That. If you dont touch it your hand won't hurt" and this went on for like another 2 minutes before i got him to realize that if he stopped touching the metal it would not hurt. Kids are so fucking weird man

Comments that make me realize this kid is probably what I sounded like to my therapist when complaining about the consequences of all my bad habits

there's gonna be people who don't check tumblr daily who have no idea anything happened cause the site change only lasted around 24 hours

[sadseaweed]

I rarely log on to Tumblr but happened to yesterday. Scrolled through about 5 rant posts and had to log off. Now I'm back and glad to see that balance has been restored ☺️

Slowly realizing that I didn't mask all through childhood and was still accepted because it was the era of The Quirky Hipster and then I got to college and was shunned and outcast by people I thought were friends so I started masking to get people to like me but now idk who I am anymore

People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.
