@advosart may I pin this repost so that I can see this absolutely adorable serotonin boost everytime I open tumblr?

don't go into the humanities because they're unprofitable and don't go into stem cuz its getting torn apart right now and don't go into buisness because it's competetive and speculative and don't go into education because it pays like shit. Just lay on thr ground. Just lay on the ground.

I laugh every fucking time because I hear it in his voice.

when you have a traumatic childhood hammer everything looks like a social violence nail but some instances are more subtextual and/or unintentional than others, which means that you'll get a lot of odd looks and protests as you ruthlessly bludgeon an apparently unblemished piece of wood. but you can still see the nails.

avoidance is lowkey funny because it’s like i don’t want love on the off chance that it gets taken away from me and then i have to become john wick or something

You are not responsible for saving someone else. You are not responsible for bettering someone who’s hurt you. You are not responsible for a toxic ex-friend. You are not responsible for what they choose to do. You are not a bad person for cutting them off or refusing to have them in your life, even if they have bettered themselves. Prioritize yourself, not a harmful person.

Don’t set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.

you really do turn thirty and everything is different and sometimes better. if you're in line for thirty stay in line bro

canonically, the angel on my shoulder gets off on bondage because to be totally restrained from taking any action is the only way to be truly free from the burden of "doing better". action necessarily involves the resolution of difficult contradictions, thus the only truly pure justice is achieved through the inability to take any action at all. and also it has an embarrassment kink.

emotional maturity ain't about never feeling angry, it's about not letting your emotions run the show. some people don't know how to regulate themselves, so they try to regulate everyone around them instead. they'll provoke you, disrespect you, ignore your boundaries, and keep pushing until you finally react, not because they want peace, but because they need proof that you're the problem. then, the second you react, that's all anyone's meant to look at. funny how months of disrespect suddenly disappear, innit? now it's all about your response, not everything that led to it, that's how accountability gets dodged. make the reaction louder than the reason, and no one has to look at who started the fire in the first place. proper convenient, that. if you've got to push someone until they're no longer acting like themselves just to prove a point, you haven't exposed their character, you've exposed your own. people with integrity don't need to manufacture chaos just to feel validated. stop setting fires just so you can complain about the smoke. you don't get to play the victim in a situation you created, simple as.

you solve the mystery of what to have for dinner one night and you think "hell yeah case closed forever" WRONG there is a dinner mystery the next night too

Actually when I say “fuck all billionaires” I particularly mean Taylor “having my wedding in the middle of the busiest city in the world on the busiest weekend in the world in the part of the city the majority of commuters need to get through because fuck working people” Swift
