i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

I became a tattoo artist at 49.

Married the love of my life at 50.

Got my Class A CDL at 59.

You've got time.

As long as you're breathing, you've got time.

I think "fuck you, I hate your work and I will do it myself and I will do it better" is a really funny and epic sentiment. i started publishing poetry because an ex boyfriend of mine was publishing really ass poetry in a bunch of journals and I was like "Jesus christ, this is garbage, I could do that, and I could do it better." now I have a page in the Academy of American Poets and I've published a full length collection and his website says "former poet." You should win by succeeding way harder than they do. Spite is a legitimate energy source.

It's Sunday night. The scaries are worse than ever because they're making people redundant at this week and we find out the outcome of our company tender on Wednesday. And a colleague is definitely going to call me tomorrow to scream at me for getting made redundant even though I didn't make the decision or feed in and don't know if my job is safe. And I need to get out because this job has killed bits of me.

But also I don't know what I would do and my brain just wants to do creative stuff and I keep seeing videos of the ongoing MCR tour and I'm like....it's possible to be nearly 50 and living your best life with your best friends and full staged massive budget shows of your teenage fantasy characters with pyrotechnics. That's a thing. That's a thing people can do. Can I do that? No because I don't have the talent and would have had to start when I was 16 not 34 but somehow the things are linked in my head.

This is 100% what I'd want to make if I had music video money. How fun and silly does this look?

I think that for every episode of bake off that has a foreign country as a theme there should be a special third judge that is just a grandma of that nationality and they should be equipped with an air horn they can toot in paul hollywood’s smug face whenever he confidently says something completely incorrect about a bake’s construction, flavour, texture, etc etc

Step up kid, sign your name right here

There's pride to take in being a volunteer

It's not gonna be easy but we're all of us equal

If you give it your all you can be show people

Can you stand on your head? Can you land on a dime?

Can you find a thousand different ways to say the same line?

Can you show a crowded room the good and the evil?

Do the same when it's empty? You can be show people

Can you sleep where you're sitting, make a pillow from your shoes

Fix an engine with duct tape, use a string for a fuse?

Can you fly like Icarus, land like Evel Knievel?

We'll show you how it's done, we are show people

They call us travelling players, fools and troubadours

We did turns for the king and they still called us whores

Sometimes we've been icons, in the plague years illegal

But we believed in our craft 'cause we are show people

And I know you've didn't want the hand that you were dealt

Let me guess that you were scorned for just being yourself

And you knew in your heart that you had something to say

And you were willing to work at it, through the nights and through the days

On the skills you knew you'd need to say exactly what you mean

They weren't perfect when you started but you were hungry and you were lean

To be the truest version of yourself, pass through the eye of the needle

Step right up and show 'em what you've got

Don't worry kid, you're gonna show people

Six nights a week, you're gonna show people

Some day, I promise, you're gonna show people

With a matinee on Saturdays, you're gonna show people

You'll probably be disappointed, you'll often be broke

But in airports and at parties, you're gonna smell your own

You're more likely to be John Otway than the Beatles

But Otway's still on tour, hats off to the show people

partially-managed mental illness is so fucking funny i'll be sitting around doing my job and suddenly think "wow i hate myself" and immediately get confused because, like, that's not TRUE! i love myself so much. who are you to talk to me like that
