note to self: you are an intelligent woman. forgive yourself for all the times you were stupid and naive. you are a woman of heart. forgive yourself for the times you were soft when you should have been hard.

I really love this and I know exactly why but I can’t explain it.

I am not in this life to fucking watch ads

I enjoy soulmate aus as much as the next person but I don’t think they really reckon as much as they should with how the existence of soulmates would change nearly everything about human history and society.

You have to understand that if there were mysteriously ordained soulmate marks on all of us it would change the structure of religion. Divinity would be evidenced through it, correct or not. Sacred texts would change. If soulmate marks appeared on people of the same sex we would have completely different interpretations of sexuality and gender. About what it meant to have children! If the mark appears at a certain age, coming-of-age/adulthood ceremonies and traditions would be only about that!

And if the soulmarks are names, naming conventions would be wild to ensure the certainty of that person being your soulmate. Writing would be less an invention than an evolution of the base marks seen on the first homo sapiens. We would have had writing first!

Politically, wouldn’t a majority of people be nomadic in order to seek out their soulmate, if indeed they could be born anywhere? And maybe seeking out your soulmate could be seen as going against destiny, intervening “too early”? Family ties and inheritance would be altered by a vast amount of people leaving or coming based on a population which sought partners through soulmate-bonds. War would have to consider not just economies and borders and resources, but an attack on a population that could be and likely are the soulmates of your own. If soulmarks don’t recognize borders, what would nations even be?

In the contemporary age there would be agencies dedicated to uniting soulmates and scientific disciplines dedicated to them. There would be movements against them; there would be inquiries into their removal; there would be arguments against this based on their being sacred and/or natural. The entire philosophical debate over free will would begin and end with them. And what about legislation? Are crimes against soulmates punished more severely? Are crimes committed for them, less? When would marriage be allowed between non-soulmates, if at all? What would grief look like? The cemeteries? Would cremation be even considered if the marks are of the flesh?

Anyway it's just. Soulmarks would change everything.

Is there a word for occupying the space where normies think you're a freak and freaks think you're a normie?

sorry for being indecisive, I haven’t had any prophetic dreams to guide me in a while

you must remember that you're gonna continue to find things (art, nature, people, etc) that amaze you and ground you and you're gonna be glad to be alive to experience it

proving myself to myself

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost
