hi i'm sonder welcome to my commonplace book :)

commonplace book (n.):

A personal journal in which quotable passages, literary excerpts, and comments are written.

this is supposedly a "bot" but is actually just a really long queue. i have manually inputted every lyric/quote/whatever in here with love and care and they are all one of a kind. so treat them with care and respect thank you!!

~

useful stuff to know:

queue is currently posting at 3 times a day, and there's about 400 posts in there

posts that aren't from the queue/that i make "ooc" are tagged #not bot

if you're fucking racist, then don't come to my show

keep the t, keep the t, keep the t! exile the terfs on the count of three!

i'll tag posts that mention alcohol or drugs with "alcohol mention" or "drugs mention". if you want another thing to be tagged, let me know! i may not tag it, though, if it's something that's very unlikely to come up

some posts will have all caps because sometimes i feel certain quotes just need to be put in all caps. if you want me to start tagging for that, again, just let me know!

(i won't go back and retroactively tag things that have already posted)

if you want to get a sense of the kind of stuff i have in here, this is a list of sources! all posts are also tagged with their sources, and those tags are linked here, so if you want to find only lyrics of a certain song or a certain band, you can!)

more detail on how this blog works if you want to make a "bot" of your own!

i think that's about it! thank you for reading and have a nice day! ^-^

so many people inside my head, mama taught me not to talk back. but they're pretty good company. they cheer me up when i feel bad. is it my insecurities that keep me going?

[songder-bot]

these are my friends, these are my friends, i love them, i love them. and they don't care who you are, they don't care what you do, no. these are my friends, these are my friends-- i love them, i love them!

[songder-bot]

but don't take your life, 'cause it's all that you've got. you're better off just up and leaving if you don't think they will stop.

and when you wake up, everything is gonna be fine. i guarantee that you'll wake in a better place, in a better time.

[songder-bot]

every word i say is kindling, but the smoke clears when you're around

[songder-bot]

and i do this to remind me that i'm really really tiny / in the grand scheme of things, and sometimes this terrifies me,

[songder-bot]

this blinding light, this reckoning: there's more to life than suffering! but there's still time, it's not too late: nothing will change! un! til! i change!

[songder-bot]

TO GO HOME! TO BE WHERE YOU ARE!

[songder-bot]

just let me look a little older! let me step a little bolder!

[songder-bot]

i try to keep it in my head: the need to leave this empty bed, and be nobody instead, because it's easier.

[songder-bot]

so i talked to genevieve and almost cried when she said that the giant on the cliff wished that she was dead, and the lemmings on the cliff wished that they were dead, so the giant told the lemmings why they ought to live instead. and when she thought up all those reasons that they ought to live instead, it made her reconsider all the sad thoughts in her head.

so thank you genevieve, 'cause you take what is in your head and you make things that are so beautiful and share them with your friends.

[songder-bot]

look at the moon. look at the stars. look at the sun. look at the ocean, and the desert, and the mountains, and the sky. say i am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye.

[songder-bot]

and i never minded being on my own / then something broke in me, and i wanted to go home

[songder-bot]

when i go for a drive, i like to pull off to the side of the road, turn out the lights, get out, and look up at the sky. and i do this to remind me that i'm really really tiny in the grand scheme of things, and sometimes this terrifies me. but it's only really scary 'cause it makes me feel serene, in a way i never thought i'd be because i've never been. so grounded and so humbled and so one with everything.

i am grounded, i am humbled, i am one with everything.

[songder-bot]

the only peace i have ever known is the peace i made with you.

[songder-bot]

i bet you take me for a fool. nothing like, like rules, the cool sensation of pollock and jules

[songder-bot]

just when that day is coming, who can say? who can say?
