wheres that one quote about the guy obsessively downloading media and staying up all night to do it and saying "its like all my birthdays have come at once" and its about like.. attachment in the digital age where archiving is easy as fuck. i havent given enough consideration nor read enough on the topic to have well formed opinions but the wording of it is so good it plays in my mind without warning

People who are starved out of conversation will approach it as if it was sacred, people who are starved out of touch experience any touch given to them as the highest form of intimacy, people starved out of gentleness will react to it as if it’s an invasion, an attempt to break them down, and people starved out of a community will approach it as if it was a minefield.

I do not respect the grind. Go to bed

that lizzo quote about loving yourself as a tactic of survival

friendship can be so fleeting no wonder humans are so scared to be vulnerable . what do you mean we put our hearts and souls into people only for something as simple as time to rob our bonds … what do you mean some friendships just aren't meant to last forever?? that sometimes we outgrow people we once knew better than the lines on our palms?? when the version of them we have in our heads becomes outdated, when it means nothing that we know exactly how they take their coffee and why they don't talk about their brother. that today I mean the world to somebody who might only think of me on my birthday in a years time. what an open fucking wound.
