chrysalism

everyone acts like your only choice is total excess or complete abstinence. what about moderation… what happened to my good old girl Moderation?

Always always always tell people you love they are so smart and capable. I will die on this hill. More often than not people are raised in unforgiving environments that tell them they are inherently “stupid” and not good enough for things, whether that be parents or cruel bosses or unsupportive friends. An underrated way of supporting people is reminding them they are brilliant no matter what anyone has ever said about their intellect and potential. People can do wonders when it’s affirmed to them their limiting beliefs are just that: limiting beliefs.

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

the most important virtues for the young woman are as follows: time theft, selfishness, orgasms, irreverence to authority, sacrilegious behavior, a questioning mind, and eating regular meals.

Everything about this is a masterpiece: the girl that says “wow” and the girl that says “hi” shyly and bill awkwardly lifting his hand to say hi to them I’m cracking THE FUCK UP

The way they all immediately straightened up their postures like the fuckin pope walked in 😂 the sheer power this cool science man has over the american people is palpable

Now why would you base your sense of self on the distortions of people who don’t know you. Idealization / demonization are both not accurate portrayals of someone.

I so wish everyone the peace and maturity that comes with truly understanding and honoring the grey area in all things, the maturity that comes with learning that opinions are not currency, and our society’s instinct to make them such is very dangerous. The desire to say “x person has x opinion so they are this category” only gets you so far before you find yourself isolated and disconnected. Find comfort in more evolved ways than knee jerk reactions, it will set you free.

if you're quiet as an adult they kill you

Still a hopeless romantic after all this time. Very insane of me.

going with the flow in a face down in a river kinda way
