people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.

Just an FYI—the original intention of this post was to challenge the way people say only friends, as though friendship is somehow lesser than other forms of love. As if being deeply known, cherished, and chosen by another person could ever be a small thing. Normalize profound platonic love. Some of the most fulfilling, transformative, and enduring relationships we will ever have are friendships. 🫶🏼

You can love something with every fiber of your being. And still know it's time to choose yourself and let it go.

my humours have balanced. I have become mentally normal again

per my last desperate howl at the heavens,

Imagine loving your younger brother so much, probably more than both your parents do, but you're getting older and younger siblings are kind of annoying so you start blowing him off a lot until he's like "you suck i want a cooler better brother who will play with me" and then he just. makes one. and now you have another brother living in your house who everyone automatically likes better than you.

Learning to trust a future you cannot yet see takes courage. Sending love to everyone doing their best to navigate uncertainty.

concept: instead of “time traveller from the past is unimpressed by the present” it’s “time traveller from the past loves things we don’t like about modern society” like they think pollution is badass or something
