2017 better be nice to my mom

That’s all I hope for

this but in early 2026

Be kind. Everyone is healing from something.

some of you have never fallen down an enchanted well and traveled feudal era japan in search of sacred shikon jewel shards with a ragtag gang of demons, monks, slayers, and other weirdos and it really shows

you change people. your name makes others smile. your work moves people. someone might compliment you somewhere, right now. someone’s heart will beat faster just thinking about you. your friends remember your experiences fondly. someone might see a book in the store and think of you, too. you inspire others to keep going, or you will someday. your presence matters and changes the world every day. 

oh fuck it turns out i love my friends very much

Can we just skip to October

I appreciate those people who are just genuinely nice. Like their mindset is instead of making others miserable, they give people tools to better themselves because why not. Thanks for putting that good energy out into the universe.

I live for the way your eyes light up when you talk about the things you love

There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.
