women on here will read hundreds of pages of terrible books and poetry and essays just to find the few out of context lines that make sense when joined by other media they consumed and then theyll even arrange it like a careful florist n add some art to it that fits with the theme . like thank you God i love you all so much for it

there’s some comfort in knowing how universal lots of subtle feelings are. that all your mistakes have been made by somebody else. all your regrets following the mistake has been felt by someone else. someone feels, or has felt, the same kind of loneliness as you, the same existential anxiety, the same confusion about everyday interactions, the same fears about being perceived and the aloneness of navigating your life and feeling so insignificant and lacklustre compared to what other people seem to be experiencing. the differentness and the gap you feel that’s between you and everyone else. the same feeling of strangeness and liminal spaces and liminal feelings that aren’t exactly explainable, even if you had someone close enough to tell it to. there are subtle things that are specific to you that you think no one else has experienced. it’s written in subtext or woven between lines of music or captured in film or unspoken, but it’s there. someone, somewhere, understands.

This! I'm always surprised when I see comments saying "wow so Ive never had an original thought" in a negative way- because isn't that wonderful! How can any of us truly be alone when everything we feel is shared and no experience is unique to one person. Remembering I am not the only person with the thoughts and feelings I have makes the world so much less lonely.

erase the idea that the nude female form in art is sexual from your mind. womens bodies were not designed to pleasure the man's eye, they are designed to breathe, drink, consume, dance, create, and exist. art depicts womens bodies existing in many forms. nudity shows vulnerability and beauty and humanity. to limit female nudity in art to one context is to limit artistic expression and limit ones view of women.
