Welcome To The Side Blog @universebound - Tumblr Blog

Oh man, this is gonna take awhile

Hi guys! I’m making this blog my side blog, focused on Ace/Aro positivity and other things like it. I’m gonna be using @reziren as my main blog now!

It’ll have content about the different fandoms and media that I follow, so if you find something you like over there, feel free to send me a message!

i wish more people said that being single is normal

and you’re not going to meet and marry someone

and that’s fine

and if marriage happens, it happens. and it’s not the next big ticket to check off in life’s checklist

because not everyone meets someone they want to marry. and that’s normal

you’re not broken or unfulfilled if you are single

For anyone who needs to hear it:

Your late teens/20s are a weird time in your life. Don’t panic if you think somebody is more “ahead” than you. The concept of being ahead is nonexistent anyway because life’s not a race and each person has different hurdles to overcome.

It’s totally fine if you’re single. It’s fine if you’re still finishing school. It’s fine if you are still looking for a better job, or for any job at all. It’s fine if you haven’t had sex yet, or haven’t gotten your driver license yet. It’s fine if you haven’t gotten your own place yet. It’s fine if you are still figuring things out, saving money, putting the pieces together. It’s fine.

Don’t feel jealous of or lesser than people your age who have done these things. You don’t know what obstacles they faced to get there and they don’t know what you’ve faced. Don’t undermine the progess you have made.

Because, trust me, you have made progress. Even if it hasn’t materialized yet in the traditional way.

You are still young. Like really young.

You got time.

You. Have. Time.

Don’t be in such a rush to get older— cherish and take your time. Believe me, don’t compare yourself or your “life progress” to others.

You are you.

So be you.

I normally don’t actually post things much, but I just adopted a new plant! Meet Prometheus the moss ball!

Now Nostradamus has a little brother!

gillian anderson in a white pantsuit telling little drama girl “sex doesn’t make us whole, so how could you ever be broken” legitimately brought tears to my eyes and that’s on representation my dudes

consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about

Teen: *gets a job*

“I GOT THE JOB!”

Parents: Well, when I was your age, I already had 5 jobs and was supporting my family

Teen: *gets all A’s*

“I worked really hard!”

Parents: Well, of course you did, this is the expectation, not a celebration.

probably why so many teens take to social media where they can enthusiastically share their interests and achievements and get positive feedback that their parents never gave
