no here's a real question tho actually: why does your ask box say that youre an adult and you know how to breathe? what does that mean?
Well, you see, when I had an about section, I would always say not to try and comfort me if I’m using this blog to vent. I’ll say the same shit in my tags, right next to “delete later.” Because I’m venting on my personal blog and impersonal input from strangers annoys me. Like…if you don’t know me personally, it’s not your place to say whether or not I’m loved, it’ll be okay, etc. at the time of the post, because you don’t actually know if that’s true. They’re words meant to make someone, anyone, feel better whether or not they yield any meaning (they usually don’t).
So if someone says to me “you’re a bright shining rainbow” or “you are the universe and you’re loved” or “take a deep breath, it’ll be okay,” I don’t exactly appreciate it. Well intentioned or not, it’s impersonal, condescending, and overdone. If you can cut and paste it to literally anyone, I don’t want it in my inbox. And in a bad state of mind, I have significantly less patience for it. I’m not gonna pretend to feel better when I don’t so some stranger can pat themselves on the back.
So…yeah. I’m an adult. I know how to breathe. And that’s my ask title on the off chance someone didn’t read my tags or planned on disregarding them (it’s happened) so, maybe, it’ll deter them from sending me an ask telling me to breathe or some shit.
