Enjoy Your Youth

i’m such a slut for reassurance my heart literally nuts when you tell me you want me

unfortunately for everybody i will keep doing whatever i want

i have never felt as mature as when i finally understood (through therapy) and internalized (through emotional work) that you cannot connect and communicate with some people no matter how kind, compassionate, understanding, articulate, eloquent, or smart you are, and that sometimes a person not listening to you does not reflect on your communication skills or ability to connect or straight up intelligence. in a way, it’s letting go of the belief that you have the power to make people understand you. communication is a two-way street, and needs two willing participants. some people are just walls, and it has been unbelievably helpful for my mental and emotional health to let it slide and know that it does not affect me or my self worth. 

i can’t believe disney has me crying about a goddamn duck

Honestly I can’t believe that I’m watching this right now. This is This is the sweetest most gentle and loving and pure thing I’ve ever beheld and I feel so blessed to have seen this

“Sshh don’t cry, my baby.”

MY FUCKING HEART 😭

“My baby is big and soft and doesn’t look like me but he is my son and I love him.”
