“I don’t want to be a burden” you’re more like a relief, a gift, a blessing actually

[transgayaccount]

“i dont want to be a burden” dude i found the point of it all thanks to you. i realised the joy of existing is doing so with you bro

[dalniente]

"i don't want to be a burden" you're worth carrying. i don't care if you'd be worth it to you; you're worth it to me. i smile every time i think of you. and buddy you're just gonna have to figure out how to cope w that <3

"I don't want to be a burden" human hands and arms and hearts are made for carrying.

watching children successfully and compassionately self-mediate conflict and wondering if it's possible to pinpoint where exactly it all goes wrong for us

[strongermonster]

group of kids aged ~4 to ~8. little boy starts crying. the group descends from all corners of the play room and start by asking him if he's okay, if he got hurt. they tell him it's okay to cry if he's feeling sad or mad, it's okay, it's all okay.

they ask him if he wants to talk about it because they can solve their problems together. they have perfected empathetic tone modulation and sympathy sharing. ("my sister takes toys when it's not her turn and it makes me mad and i cry too. it's okay to cry if you're mad.") their clumsy little hands are patting him on the back and hugging at his arms. we are a species of immaculate mimicry.

he says jessica was mean to him. 3 of them who know jessica agree that jessica is never ever mean, so they posit that perhaps there was maybe an accidentally communication error ("maybe you didn't mean to say something that hurt her feelings! it's okay! it was nobody's fault if you did!") or that maybe jessica is having a bad day. they are working together to completely remove blame from the situation, effectively cooperatively de-escalating. there's a little bit of talking over each other, but no one puts down anyone else's ideas. if they do disagree, they subtly "yeah that, but also maybe—" to it so no one feels like their idea was stupid or bad or wrong. i don't even think they know they're doing it. inclusivity requires absolutely no thought or effort.

they hunt down jessica and bring her to the tribunal. jessica is also treated to blame cancelling, comforting touches, lack of judgement, and sympathetic tones. they ask her if she's feeling okay. they tell her she made arjun cry "accidentally and not on purpose" and they want to fix what happened.

jessica and arjun stand opposite in a circle of very concerned little faces eager to problem solve. jessica (crying) says she didn't like the way arjun was playing. arjun (also crying) says he didn't know because she didn't tell him the rules. jessica says she's sorry. arjun says he's sorry. they hug it out. the group is very excited to have successfully solved conflict and immediately announce they'll be doing a new activity, all together.

i clean up the play area and wonder what they'll all be like in 20 years.

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

— Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh (first published 1914)

This is actually very normal human behavior. It's just that most people (in the USA) think "Jesus strengthens me" instead of "I am a pikmin, dandori time"

[sunspotpony]

This is literally why stories and fantasy are so useful to humans. We cannot tackle every mundane challenge with enthusiasm, and facing against profoundly daunting tasks can be deeply demoralizing, and you don’t get to feel cool or heroic for filing 400 pieces of paperwork.

We arm ourselves with stories and fantasy, so that the laundry can become a charming hurdle to overcome, and the daunting stack of bills is the leviathan we the brave knights must slay.

Humans have always been like this. So many cultures have stories or mythology or even rituals about literally embodying another being better suited to the challenge one currently faces.

Stories are armor. Stories are fuel.

the secret to life is always having something to look forward to

[kosmogrl]

to anyone saying there's nothing to look forward to, I'm not saying it has to be anything spectacular or huge. it could just be a song or a book that will release in a few days, a tv show, anything!! no matter how small it seems it can keep us going

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

Alright so everyone knows white is the classic wedding color, with black suits being common too, but what if you want something more exciting for more than two people?

Ta-da!

Honestly I was just thinking about RGB for me and my gfs and then I started getting ideas for how to apply this farther

[professionalchaoticdumbass]

and if you have twelve, then-

[catgirl-techsupport]

something like this?

[shiroikabocha]

you jest, but I have yet to talk my wife out of this precise color scheme for our wedding. (…which is happening on april 13th.)

[shiroikabocha]

update: I couldn’t talk her out of it. this color scheme is described on our wedding website. guests are encouraged to wear the color associated with their astrological sign. ppl are telling me it’s “so cute” that we’re “building the rainbow” 😐 😐 😐

I deserve to be hunted for sport

[creatures-5]

YOU HAVE A HOMESTUCK THEMED WEDDING???

[shiroikabocha]

look, sometimes you’re a dumb nerd! with a crush on a cool person! and then that person makes a subtle insinuation that they understood your stupid homestuck reference and you think to yourself “well okay now I am in love forever” like a dumb infatuated nerd!

AND THEN maybe you and this cool person DO fall in love FOR REAL! and you want to get married to them in spring of 2024 and it JUST SO HAPPENS that 4/13/2024 is a Saturday and what am I supposed to do, defy the will of paradox space???

[preydefiler]

hey did you know that if you wanted to see me nude, all you gotta do is be my friend. I will show my tits to anyone, and honestly? friends can see my dick if they really want. you wanna jerk off to me, as a friend? I'm flattered, have these nudes, friend

the cozy hopepunk cottagecore reputation people have given ghibli is insane. every ghibli movie is about some combination of: 1) the (often violent) loss of innocence, 2) world war II, 3) the screaming, bloody, inevitable death of the natural world, and 4) airplane

[maxknightley]

there should be more problems that I can cleave in twain and fewer problems that my friends and I have to quietly endure day after day and week after week and year after year
