a message i just sent my bf rn i

was watching a tiktok of street interview asking this cool eccentric guy what artiwork hed like to own. made me realise what kinda answer id say and id probabbly say a photograph. but then i thought about it and said to myself but i actually love painting, even if i barely know any artists na painters. all the times i painted i loved it.

and then i thought. Im scared to do that after work, cuz what if time just goes by faster. is that why i like scrolling on tiktok? cuz it feels like im absorbing and going through a lot of info and content on just one mediun? like am i scared for life to be simpler and faster when painting? do i feel like this overstimulation and chaotic-ness feels productive and important? more important than doing something more mindful and just a one-thing, rather than than "doing" or "processing" so much info in the same amount of time?

it's so easy to deny yourself basic things, like food and sleep, in order to punish yourself. but you deserve better. you deserve tasty foods that make you smile, to sleep in and go to bed early, to be warm and cozy. you never have to "earn" that. you deserve all of that and more just by existing. you're allowed to be kind to yourself. kindness is brave.

I don’t think a lot of people understand that no matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something that’s so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And you’ll say “Huh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but you’re right,” and that doesn’t mean you were “morally toxic” before, it means you’re a non-omniscient human capable of growth.

Also, some preferred terms for things will change and evolve, and terms we prefer now might eventually be considered gauche or even offensive, and that doesn’t mean you were a bigot at the time for using them. It means we evolved as a society and chose new terminology to reflect that change.

Nobody is a fully formed realisation of progressivism that can predict all shifts and modes of thought. The world will always change, and hopefully you will, too

im in philosophy and were talking about how you can doubt everything’s existence except for your own consciousness and the guy that sits in front of me just turns around tears streaming down his face and goes “i am on so many drugs”
