I NEED to start making cute bento box lunches for myself or else I will explode. I need to start RIGHT NOW, actually. Or else I will explode.

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

Man, with homosexual despair: EVerything matters to me, unFORtunately.

Today, I'm coming down from a hypomanic episode. My vanilla tea tastes like magic, and I feel so out of control because I decided to get frozen yogurt with my younger siblings. Oddly enough, things really do get better.

Poem about being a normal person by me:

O-R-D-I-N-A-R-Y

When I grow up, 

I want to be a regular person.

I want to wake up tired every morning,

but come alive after a soy milk latte.

I want to work at an ordinary office

where my coworkers talk to me a normal amount–

not interesting enough to befriend,

not combative enough to deem an enemy.

I want to eat a standard turkey and provolone 

sandwich at lunchtime, alone in the breakroom, 

while I watch birds fly outside the window.

When I come home to embrace 

my lover, I want to strip all our clothes off.

After we have sex, I want him to look

me in the eyes and croon,

“Wow, Betty. You are so normal."

My recent haiku~

I'm having a manic episode for the first time in years, and I'm actually managing it pretty well! I've been super restless, but the paranoia has subsided, and now I'm slowly coming down into what I hope is my stable state and not a depressive episode.

Goth Lit fandom: Now that we're in a place culturally where we can portray gay relationships without going to prison for two years, and now that popular media has started to tackle bi and gay characters being toxic in relationships, surely we can make Dorian Gray's subtext into text. We can adapt it as a book about a man loving another man so much that he captures his likeness and his soul. We can show Dorian use his beauty and appeal to manipulate men like he did in the book. We can tell this as a tragic story of an artist falling for a man who is much more toxic than he seems.
