The Ultimate Cryptid @ultimate-cryptid - Tumblr Blog

putting “lying to kids is ok” on the table immediately looks bad. but theres nuance. because kids deserve to have as much context and respect as anyone else you live with. but also. telling them that leaving doors open will make ants carry away the entire house is necessary until their brains can quantify the heating&air bill

I was a gifted child. Until I wasn't. I was the golden girl. Until I couldn't burn anymore.

My parents expected me to build wings of gold and fly further than anyone could ever try. I don't blame them, having a child to raise is like sculpting a clay pot, you can shape it the way you like, paint it the colour you fancy. To raise a child is to play God. To raise a child is to be God.

But to be a child is to fall, to make mistakes, to fail. The thing about being too bright at an early age means you burn out by the time you're 16 and suddenly the world around you becomes more gray and terribly, terribly lonely. The fire is never warm enough, nothing is ever enough. And one day you find yourself begging to a godless sky, begging for a new spark.

I was a gifted child once. I was the golden girl. And one day, I burned out.

How to ‘academia’ when the weather is hell hot:

To wear: dressing shorts, baggie shirts, plain tshirts. Anything that makes you feel like a young boy going on vacation to Italy during the sixties and you are a little fruity.

Colors: beige, white, black, navy, dark green, brown, burgundy.

Not to wear: heavy fabrics, winter clothes, heavy or chunky jewelry.

Dark academia but you’re in love

Love notes tucked between the pages of a favorite book

Listening to music together in the dead of night

Memorizing their coffee order

Sitting in their arms in front of the big window, watching the storm outside

Museum dates

Late-night ramblings about nothing in patricular (bonus points if it’s got something to do with philosophy or science)

Not fully paying attention to your classes

Throwing paper airplanes across the library

Laughter echoing down long hallways
