have courage and be kind

today a first grader told me “when the sky turns orange, my grandpa picks me up” :)

shout out to all the people who identify with gifted kid burnout syndrome who are probably just neurodivergent but werent diagnosed as a child, who used to devour books like it was nothing and never really understood why the protagonist would leave their cool fantasy world behind to go back home at the end of the story, and who are now extremely disappointed in reality and use escapism as their primary coping mechanism. how’s that bisexuality and deep-rooted anger at the school system going for you?

i bought a small little paddington bear in a cute little bag for $0.49 today and the bag said “please take care of this bear!” and there was a little note in the bag from someone named jay that was for someone named emma that said that this little bear was a good luck charm and that if you took care of it you would have good luck wherever you went so what im trying to say is its my most prized possession

When Florence Welch said “you don’t have to be a ghost / hidden amongst the living / you are flesh and blood / and you deserve to be loved / and you deserve what you are given”

you know what’s really hot.. healthy communication and reassurance
