I have conquered demons but they always keep coming back and the old weapons just aren’t good enough.

[strawberriesandbasicsalts]

The darkness inside me, always on the edge, looking for a weakening of the membranous boundary to force its way in and take over everything.

‘Control my emotions?’ What if I am those emotions. What if my feelings define me? What if the passion derived from sentiment is the way for me to go forwards? My heart is harder to get authority over than any other weak link in my persona. However, it is the only thing stopping me from being someone, anyone. So I have to learn to resist giving into following it lest it leads me to my ruin.

Logic for me is an absolute idea. It is an unyielding loyalty to truth, a means to an end.

[strawberriesandbasicsalts]

You read a book and you forget the plot and content a few years down the line but you will never forget the way it made you feel. When you come across it in the future, a nostalgia of emotions envelop you, unexplained and empowering and you embrace it for only books can make one feel that way.

[strawberriesandbasicsalts]

People judge. Yes. They judge the shit out of you. So much so that sometimes you feel weighed down by their opinions to such an extent that you lose track of who you really are. For a long time, I studied based on the fact that my friends, classmate etc would admire good grades etc. I realized this is utter crap. They don’t give one fuck about how productive you are and there is no need to mistake my profanity for bitterness or anger. It is for emphasis. They will be awed by you, respect you..but will they ever be happy for you? No. Because no one, I repeat, literally no one wants to see someone else at the top. Someone who is not them. It is the truth, the godawful truth. So it is better much better if you do things just for the evolution and betterment of one person and that is yourself.

Ways to get drink more water

Keep water in a whiskey flask. Pretend it is alcohol and chug it like vodka.

Keep water beside you in boring classes.  To break the monotony, lift the bottle and imbibe the refreshing coolness through your mouth, yum yum. It is like elixir. Wait. What just happened on the board?

Drink water when you want to appear cool  in social gatherings. Carry a champagne glass around. Fill it with H2O. Take teeny tiny sips. Ah. Pretend you are in France. Must break up with Raphael. Ah. Delicious. 

Drink water when you want to appear busy but not necessarily anti-social. Put  water in a coffee mug. Carry a newspaper around. Person coming your way. Open your newspaper. Furrow your eyebrows. Lift your face as the person comes closer. Give an absent minded wave and continue to glare at the newspaper angrily while drinking your ‘coffee’. Said person will be too scared to talk.

When you feel things so deeply and you try to control them but they dont seem to go away, no matter how hard you try to rationalise them. So in the end it comes out more magnified than how you felt when you first felt them. I have an advice (or advise? I dunno. I have got confused about this. Let me know)- Vent it as soon as you feel it. Dont try to control it. Or say it. Dont go on a rant. Just say it in a normal tone. This works way better. I think this works out way better.

PSA

Simon’s friends should’ve flooded him with love and support after he was publicly outed instead of being absolute papayas and reprimanding him for being blackmailed, and should’ve begged him for forgiveness after completely abandoning him in his time of greatest need, in this essay I will

'papayas' made me smile. I agree with this.

Amateur book review-Interpretor Of Maladies

Interpretor of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri is a stirring collection of short stories. The prose mostly deals with the lives of men and women who emmigrated to a foreign nation. With souls straddling the US of A and the Indian state of West Bengal, the beauty and charm of these stories lie in the writing style; each sentence convey the subconscious heartbreak experienced by those who are forced to deal with alien emotions in new life situations. An epitome of fine literature, the writer's choices of words to craft her masterpieces are phenomenal. The stories are a mixed bag with characters ranging from a Shobha and Shukumar's confrontation with the death of their child to Mrs Sen's love for whole fish being a cause of turmoil to Mrs Das's big reveal (only for Mr Kapasi's ear) and various others. I would recommend this book for everyone because it captures almost all the feelings humanity is sensitive to in an extremely breathtaking manner.

THIS IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT

my mom was 17 and my dad was 27 when they got together and they’re still together now after almost 40 years and they love their life and raised me and my sister in the best way ever!

and my whole life my parents told me that my mom was very mature and my dad even says that he never felt as sure of a relationship, he knew he could trust my mom and he asked her for advice and he treated her with the utmost respect. mom always says they were deeply in love and she had never wanted ANYONE before my dad but he just stole her heart since they were so in harmony together.

IT DEPENDS, NOT ALL TEENS CAN SUSTAIN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A MUCH OLDER MAN BUT SOME CAN!

[dontdowhatisayandnobodygetshurt]

no

no

no 

nonononono oh my fucking god

no

For starters, I’m happy your mom and dad and you and your sister are happy, that’s fantastic, I’m glad it worked out.

but this is seriously fucked up

GROWN-ASS MEN. SHOULD NOT. BE ATTRACTED. TO TEENAGERS. NO. NO. NO.

I’m a 17 year old dude and I physically can not be attracted to someone more than a year younger than me, because they are immature, they just are, no matter how ‘mature’ they are, they. are. fucking. CHILDREN. I AM A CHILD. I have changed so, so much since just last year, and I know I will change even more this year. Teenagers ARE CHILDREN. They are STILL going through puberty, they are still growing, their minds are NOT adult yet. Even if they are 18, they’re still trying to find their way in the world and their brains STILL AREN’T MATURED. You ask ANY 30+ year old about their 18 year old selves and 99% of them will say how naive they were or how they wouldn’t make the same choices they made then, now.

The fact that your mom ACTED mature as a kid and had her head screwed on straight is great, but that makes it even worse to think that she could handle that kind of relationship. That’s like saying the 12 year olds that are super precocious and intelligent are ready for a relationship, just because they’re ~so mature.~

What if she was 16. What if she was 15. What if she was 14. What if, what if. She’s still mature for her age, right? What makes those ages any less okay?

NO 27 YEAR OLD GUY SHOULD BE ATTRACTED TO A FUCKING MINOR. NO 27 YEAR OLD GUY SHOULD WANT TO DATE A MINOR. NO 27 YEAR OLD GUY SHOULD ACT ON THOSE URGES. BECAUSE YOUNG GIRLS ARE RAISED TO BE INSECURE AND HAVING A MATURE MAN TELL THEM THAT THEY’RE DESIRABLE IS A HUGE CONFIDENCE BOOST AND IS MANIPULATION WHETHER THEY KNOW IT OR NOT.

It is an adult’s RESPONSIBILITY to say no. If a minor likes them, or if they happen to develop feelings, even if they shouldn’t. Just don’t act on them. It is very, very easily to not act on feelings. It is your job to not be a creep and take advantage of a naive child.

IT IS NEVER OKAY FOR ANYONE TO DATE/COURT/INTERACT WITH A MINOR IN ANY SEXUAL OR ROMANTIC WAY. EVEN IF THEY HAVE ~NO BAD INTENTIONS.~ IT’S MANIPULATIVE AND A BIG SHIFT OF POWER EVEN IF IT’S ~EVEN~ AND IT’S SO SO SO CREEPY.

PLEASE DON’T PUT THIS OUT THERE FOR YOUNG GIRLS, OR BOYS, OR NON-BINARY KIDS TO SEE.

Because it is. not. okay. Even if it does work out eventually, it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

After my parents broke up, my dad, 33 yo, went into a relationship with a 18 yo. They’re still together to this day, had two beautiful children, and I’m sure if my half siblings saw this post they would have commented the same as the first commenter. Because they’re the relationship’s children, and because they’re hidden things a lot. Because I eavedrop a lot, I can tell you that this loving, perfect, romantic relationship is fucked up to the core. Because I needed to reach 33 yo myself to be fully aware how fucked up it was.

My dad didn’t want to get into a relationship with an adult, and made an exception for my step mother because she was “so mature”. He wanted a teen. Specifically a teen. He only dated teens. So he could raise them into the wife he wanted. It was totally calculated.

This is why they’re still together this day. She dress like he wants, lost weight like he wanted, She became as racist and conservative as him. She does all the houses chores, sometimes even late at night, while he watches tv, like he wanted, and then tells everyone around him she’s a clean freak and makes fun of her. He forced her to get an abortion, for a child she wanted. She still talks about it. She never forgot, never forgave him. And still, she stayed. Because she has no prior experience, and has no idea how bad their relationship is.

When an adult say that a teen is “mature” enough for a realtionship with him, he means she’s submissive. He means she listens to him and is easily convinced by his opinion. He means she’s calm and easy to deal with. 

When an adult is attracted to a teen, they’re attracted to their own dominant position in the relationship. A teen doesn’t know what they want in life. So they’re no conflict : the adult convince her that she wants what he wants. An adult is not attracted to a teen despite her age. He’s attracted to her because of it. A mature teen is not an adult. It’ something else, and no adult should date them.
