Girls are like “I’m fine!” and then consume thousands of words of fanfiction to cope with their exhausting modern lives

these all happened in the second half of march so happy anniversary to vanessa hudgens saying “it’s a virus and i respect that and like people are going to die which is terrible but like inevitable” on instagram live and happy anniversary to ellen saying “this [27 million dollar mansion] feels like a prison” and happy anniversary to madonna calling the virus a “great equalizer” while bathing in a bathtub with rose petals in it and happy anniversary to sia posting a picture that just said “virus <3″ and happy anniversary to priyanka chopra clapping to her empty garden and happy anniversary to gal gadot et al.’s imagine video

we are all just sitting in our own little bedrooms all across the world with our headphones in listening to our little songs aren’t we

i cant think of the fact that humans send messages saying ’where are you? who are you?’ from earth to the giant and empty space all around us for too long because it makes me cry so hard and feel so human and lonely

I wish everyone would admit that classic literature is inherently difficult to read, and that you shouldn’t feel stupid if you don’t “get it”. Especially the dark academia/ classic lit fandoms and stuff. Like unless you have the vocabulary and pop culture knowledge of an 18th century nobleman, it’s going to be a tough read. It’ll take you longer to read; you’re not stupid if you’ve spent several months on a single book! And you don’t have to enjoy everything. It’s okay if you got bored after one chapter of Wuthering Heights, and couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. It’s okay if you want to read your favourite kids book for the 10th time instead. You’re not stupid. No piece of literature is inherently better, more “important”, more “meaningful”, or more “intellectual” than another. First and foremost, read what brings you joy.

i don’t get how ppl can hate the rain ? like…..the ocean came all this way to give the world tiny kisses & u treat her like this ???

it’s like are you so yourself it alienates you from others to a traumatizing degree or are you managing normalcy at the cost of crushing self-denial

my mom says she’s not a hugger. but when i put my arms around her on a gloomy day or after bad news she’s the last to let go. my dad says he doesn’t want gifts on his birthday, but i see the way his face lights up when i get him a card with a nice message and a box full of chocolate anyway. he’s just a kid inside, still. it makes him giddy. my brother never says i love you. but when i tell him “i just need to finish the dishes before i vacuum!” he wordlessly goes to vacuum the entire house before i can, and if he sees me struggle with a wrapper or a jar or a bottle he mutters ‘c’mere’ and opens it for me without even sparing me a glance. the thing is, people love you quietly, and you love them quietly, and the air is buzzing with tiny but grand gestures & once you look for them, you find them everywhere. i think that’s really beautiful.
