I think, listening to someone hurt is one of the most intimate things one could do to someone. I understand that we all have shits to deal with, but someone adding your shit to their plate feels so close in a way that it's genuinely a privilege because that person might be going through so much worse and yet they chose to sit and help you carry the things you have to carry on your own. And in regard to this topic, you're actively making yourself vulnerable by having emotional liability to someone else. No wonder opening up feels so fucking scary and securing at the same time.

I crave intimacy beyond recognition so much that I fantasize about it.

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

We are all living. That's what my person made me realize.

I kind of miss the impulsivity that certain spaces used to allow. oh you want a hair cut today? hairdresser in the corner can fit you in before her 2 o’clock. tattoo of a cobra… sure leg or arm? even concerts, back when you could go to the box office thirty mins before any show. not saying these things don’t exist at all, but everything feels booked five months in advance and 10x more expensive

I was at a parents meeting of my younger sibling and I was one of the few people who were young there. The meeting continued until we got to the elections of homeroom officers and I can't help but notice how childish these parents were acting—laughing, pointing at each other, and were shy during the convention. I had a feeling that the election would take forever as grownups have tendencies to just sit there and do nothing, but I stand corrected. Remembering, it made me realize that age is not a standard of behavior but just a counter of how long we've lived as a child.

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

I love how you spoon-feed me politics. because it shows that you care about how I digest political news—you chew it like a bird and spit it on my mouth. the same passion how I was fed on a tube. because how we feed on the governments remains is how we feed eachother. you cherry-picking what's real and pure is a saying that you don't want me craving for a vile vomit. and that by itself is love in its least political form.

i wish there was a way to say "you're right, but this is really ineffective and even counterproductive messaging to anyone who doesn't already agree with you" without sounding like an asshole

You ever look at someone else and just stare at their being and realize you don't know who they are anymore and all you know is that theyre known to you; you just know the fact that you know them and not what you used knew about them

”Explain yourself” followed by “stop making excuses” has always baffled me because the fuck you think explaining myself is????
