You’re an amazing person, and so beautiful, I’m so happy for you and gage, you deserve it

hi, i never go on tumblr so I’m sorry I’m just seeing this and have no clue when it was sent. Gage knows everything about me, including every mistake I’ve ever made, and still loves me. He’s given me so many opportunities to learn and grow and he makes me so happy. I don’t deserve him but I’m going to try my hardest to be someone who does for as long as he’ll let me. He’s my best friend. Whoever you are, thank you for your comment, i love you, and i hope you’ve found happiness too :)

You were in my dream and I wanted to say im sorry for everything I've ever done and im happy that you're happy.

hey, i never go on tumblr so I’m just seeing this and i don’t know when it’s from, so I’m sorry. I’ve done a lot of wrong to a lot of people but i like to think I’ve grown, or at least i am always trying to. Whoever you are whatever happened is long past. We’ve all done stuff we regret. I forgive you and i hope to be forgiven too someday. I still have love for everyone I’ve known so I’m sure i do for you too. I really hope you’re at peace like I’m trying to be. xx

The essence of love and compassion is understanding, the ability to recognize the physical, material, and psychological suffering of others, to put ourselves “inside the skin” of the other. We “go inside” their body, feelings, and mental formations, and witness for ourselves their suffering. Shallow observation as an outsider is not enough to see their suffering. We must become one with the subject of our observation. When we are in contact with another’s suffering, a feeling of compassion is born in us. Compassion means, literally, “to suffer with.” —Thich Nhat Hanh

No more waiting to become. It’s time to simply be.

Places where reality is a bit altered:

• any target • churches in texas • abandoned 7/11’s • your bedroom at 5 am • hospitals at midnight • warehouses that smell like dust • lighthouses with lights that don’t work anymore • empty parking lots • ponds and lakes in suburban neighborhoods • rooftops in the early morning • inside a dark cabinet

I just got the weirdest feeling I swear

[the-crepes-of-wrath]

OK LISTEN THERE ARE REASONS FOR THIS!!!

A lot of these places are called liminal spaces - which means they are throughways from one space to the next. Places like rest stops, stairwells, trains, parking lots, waiting rooms, airports feel weird when you’re in them because their existence is not about themselves, but the things before and after them. They have no definitive place outside of their relationship to the spaces you are coming from and going to. Reality feels altered here because we’re not really supposed to be in them for a long time for think about them as their own entities, and when we do they seem odd and out of place.

The other spaces feel weird because our brains are hard-wired for context - we like things to belong to a certain place and time and when we experience those things outside of the context our brains have developed for them, our brains are like NOPE SHIT THIS ISN’T RIGHT GET OUT ABORT ABORT. Schools not in session, empty museums, being awake when other people are asleep - all these things and spaces feel weird because our brain is like “I already have a context for this space and this is not it so it must be dangerous.” Our rational understanding can sometimes override that immediate “danger” impulse but we’re still left with a feeling of wariness and unease. 

Listen I am very passionate about liminal spaces they are fascinating stuff or perhaps I am merely a nerd.

Seeing other gay people in public is such a therapeutic experience like every time I see two girls or two boys together like holding hands or on a date I get like 5 years added onto my life

I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.
