staying up til 4 AM doesnt hurt in the moment but it does in the longrun meanwhile waking up at 4 AM hurts in the momentbut less in the long run. additionally staying up til 4 AM feels like an extension of the day but suddenly things get A Little Weird whereas waking up at 4 AM feels like entering an alternate dimension briefly and then slowly re-entering normality as the sun rises. hope this helps

“A society which cannot tolerate genderbending or cross- dressing ultimately will not tolerate homosexuality, bisexuality, or any other deviance from sexual or gender norms, no matter how closeted or assimilated.”

*through gritted teeth* you are not a child taking a test with the purpose of getting the highest score, you are an adult trying new things and finding ways to enjoy your life, make mistakes, be a beginner, be mediocre, be where you need to be, be unlikeable, just. be.

I think that in real life…. Relationships r like . Your partner WILL ‘trauma dump’ on you. You will have to perform ‘emotional labor’ for your partner. Your partner will make mistakes. You will also do all of these things. The very nature of love is irrational and problematic and difficult …. To expect a relationship to be free of these things is strange to me…. The point is that your relationship to that person is ultimately worth it, and worth growing with them, helping each other, seeing the worst parts of another person and being able to love them anyway

Being an younger sibling is just. ive always known you. i still don't know you. you were always here. then one day you weren't really there. i look up to you, i always did. i wanted to be just like you, so i copied everything you did. i saw your favourite colour is black, so i was like hey black's pretty neat. mom tells me stories about our childhood sometimes, i don't remember a thing, but you used to hold my hand and break my things. you used to wipe my tears and pull my hair. you had things i didn't, i had things you didn't. mom and dad are tough on you, i can tell it's different with me. we don't talk anymore, i don't think we ever really did. i miss fighting you, i miss laughing at you. i miss laughing with you. you picked me up from school because mom was busy, you heated up food for me because no one else was home. i played with your old toys, i used to wear your old clothes. i steal your new ones now. sometimes. i keep them back before you can know. I don't remember you as a child anymore, though i'm sure we played together. i don't know a life without you. i don't know anything about your life. yet i know where you keep your secrets. i've always thought you were cool, i just wanted to be like you. why are we strangers then?

Do you ever get sad knowing that you'll never know all the languages and so since translators make choices (they have to) and things sometimes don't fully translate you can never experience every book exactly as it was originally intended to be read?
