Emma Stone wins Best Actress (and a kiss from Leonardo Dicaprio)

Lol excuse me while I just timetravel to 2 years ago when I would post about wildly personal struggles--though vaguely--that really should just go in my journal, and not online?

tbh i’m feeling slightly overwhelmed today, and i’m not entirely sure where it came from? I’m having one of those days that’s just like, k Jesus, you can take me home now because this is a bit too much. But hey, what is life without a bit of anxiety, worry & tears? I promise I’m grand, just gotta let myself feel for a bit.  I think that’s healthy, friends. Humans were created complexly with emotions and all; to deny that I feel this way would just be denying the inevitable.

But also, I have hope things will look up. Do I wish in this moment that Jesus would come back, and save me from sadness? Yes. But, am I okay if he doesn’t just yet, and I struggle for a little longer? Also yes. Either way, I trust that as long as I have Christ, I’ll be fine. 

Wowza, this is therapeutic, innit?

Here’s one thing that really kills me about this revival: Rory and Logan act like people who love so passionately and care so deeply for one another, and yet they never verbally express it. Never once did they say they loved each other, and yet the things they did said it so loudly. Maybe in one sense it’s really beautiful--love is more than just words. But one the other hand, maybe there wouldn’t be so much doubt about Logan’s character, (i.e., the fact that he would leave everything behind to be with Rory and his child) if we had something more solid to stand on. I think I’m mostly frustrated because I don’t think I’m reading too much into their relationship. I really think these two loved each other. But for some reason, we aren’t told for sure. It’s the kind of ending that works so well because it’s not neat, nor perfect. It’s real. It’s heartbreaking. Maybe, just maybe, it’s not actually their end just yet.

Welp, I’m in a library, but I almost screamed.

kids have no concept of anything. i walked into my kindergarten class and one kid asked me what my name was. when i said miss jones, he said “i like that name. did you know i’m in love with you”

[letthemountainsmoveyou-deactiva]

i asked my four year old cousin how old he thought i was going to be at my next birthday and he said 8. im 23

[roonilwazlip-deactivated2022021]

once i told a 6 year old that i had finished school and was doing “more school” [university] and she asked “why haven’t you found anyone to marry then”

[byeeyeslikeacat-deactivated2019]

We were at a museum and I was asking for the student discount and my nine year old cousin looks up at me with his eyes wide and says “wait you’re a STUDENT??”

[meelothemanly]

I used to babysit these three kids and the eldest who was around 11 at the time was talking about how adults are boring and when I told him I was an adult he said, “That’s not true, you’re my age”

[cractasticdispatches]

our aunt teaches and she has this story about a little girl who really was always pretty quiet in class and then on the final day of kindergarten she just up and stated ‘i’m all teached now. i don’t need to be teached anymore. i’m done of being teached.’

[diamondelight92]

once when i was 19, I told my little cousin that i was 19 and she looked up at me with huge eyes and went, “Does that mean you don’t have to bring an adult with you to the pool?”

[maraudersvibes]

My 6 year old cousin saw me driving for the first time, looked up at him mom and said “does that mean she is married now?”

[standard-fiend]

I watched my dad and my niece (3 at the time) arguing over a pair of pants and whether or not they were also a dress. My neice’s argument was that they were, in fact, also a dress because they were blue.

[loveyoutothem00n]

I asked the kids in my daycare class what they thought I should be for Halloween and this little boy goes, “ooh I know! A pickle! You’d be such a good pickle”

[aimmyarrowshigh]

On the first day of class with my favorite student of all time, I said, “Are you okay? You look like you have a question.” And she looked me right in the eyes and said, tremulously,

“Can a piranha eat a stapler?”

[manic-kin]

One time I was working with a kid and he looked up at me and asked “Do you have a boy?” I had no idea what he was talking about, but I told him that I did not have any boys. He looked shocked and then deeply concerned and said “Well, you better hurry up and shave your arms so you can get married; August is next month!”

[dinovia-grant]

I was sitting on the floor with my 3yo niece and we were playing with her younger brother’s alphabet blocks and the O had an octopus on it.  So I picked it up and asked her what it was.

“Octopus,” she said, all curls and smiles.

“And what kind of animal is an octopus?” I asked.  I was looking for “fish” or “sea creature” but I would have accepted almost anything–”weird,” “gross,” even “slimy.”  “Underwater” or “it lives in the ocean” would have also been acceptable. 

She looks me right in the eye and says, happy as a clam, “It’s a cephalopod.”

I haven’t been the same since.

[mountxxns]

i once picked the 6 yo i was nannying for up from school. he sighed real loudly in his booster seat, like he was totally disappointed with something. so i said, ‘what’s up, bud?’ 

he replied, while gazing sadly out the window like he was in a 90s music video, ‘just another day closer to death’

[sorenssong]

i once was at a birthday party with my boyfriend and his 8 yo cousin comes to me and whispers to my ear “leave him and date me”

[alrightevans]

ive been alive for almost twenty one years and im still…. shocked and offended every time it gets dark at 5pm

[gilmorgirls]

You’re the best, Grandpa.
