🜫

i want to run away…but like in ghibli movie. like i take a block of cheese a loaf of bread and some apples and wander through the flower-specked mountains wrapped up in a shawl and i happen to wander into a moving castle and fall in love with a cute wizard

me (deep in the woods, dragging dufflebag of Kraft Singles™  and hopelessly lost): where’s totoro

A super long audio book with just silence and an “oh, out loud?” at the end

And the occasional turning of a page

I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.

Do not shrink to make others comfortable. Oh my God, do not shrink to make others comfortable. Why why why do we do this? Do not do this. You were born to take up space. Your existence was never meant to be apologetic! You deserve to exist at full volume! Full capacity! There’s absolutely nothing selfish about making room for yourself too!

You can always lock in, but can lock out ? Can you be whimsical? Can you be silly? Can you chill the fuck out? That’s important too
