what they dont tell you about adulthood is that it’s startlingly easy to go long periods of time without having any fun at all not even a little bit. btw this causes ur brain to try to kill you with knives and hammers.

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.

hey dont be a dick to people who work in mcdonalds or clean toilets or empty bins or sweep streets or put your food through the till in the supermarket because u know what they go home to their family every night too and they are just as valid as you theyre doing these shitty jobs which means you dont have to do them so be fucking nice

I legitimately do not trust anyone who treat people in the service industry poorly.

they say your whole life flashes before your eyes when you die. for Andrew, it happens after Neil’s death. he’s long since stopped being a child, stopped being a young man even, but the memories keep forcing their way to the surface. he’s nineteen again, slamming a runaway into the ground with everything he has, earning his first sharp fuck you and the glare of frightened brown eyes. then he’s twenty, drowning in those same eyes all over again—except they’re blue now. not just him, either. his lips are drowning too, pressed against Neil’s on one of those nights spent on the roof of the old dormitory where they studied together. he remembers the nights of his youth spent tearing down empty highways, the quiet, dark corners where his fingers would weave through Neil’s and pull him closer without hurry, where every touch carried the same relentless force and restless blood they both had in abundance back then. Andrew isn’t a young man anymore. and yet, somehow, right now he’s nineteen again. and more than anything, he wishes he could throw that punch in Millport one more time, if only to drown out the strange, dragging ache coiled deep inside him now, and relive those years all over again.
