don't find it you make it

if you dont decouple your drive to create from your desire for attention you will go insane. simple as. you will never feel satisfied b/c you will always want more and you will feel perpetually bitter that you did not get what you are “owed”

It’s an unpopular opinion but it is absolutely and completely true. I’ve never seen someone who creates for engagement happy with the engagement they get. I posit they can’t ever be happy that way because it will NEVER be enough

After Shane and Ilya get married Ilya is so happy to finally change his pfp to be one of him and Shane. To piss Ilya off Hayden also changes his pfp to him and Shane. Cue different NHL players slowly changing their pfp to photos of them and Shane. It basically becomes and unspoken trend that when you enter the NHL you need to get a photo with Shane Hollander to change your pfp as a right of passage.

Shane joins in after months of this by making his pfp a pic of him and his reflection in the mirror.

if anyone ever broached the idea of buck being in love with eddie TO eddie but they do it with the implication that they’re not sure if eddie feels the same. eddie would be SO offended on buck’s behalf. he’d be like buck is great!! and handsome!! and a good firefighter!! and a great partner!! and a better co-parent!! so the other person is like damn okay fine i guess you’re in love with him too sorry. and eddie’s yeah that’s what i thought. wait.

never forget that time buck Amazon Primed a basketball so that eddie would play with him and stop playing with tommy and they could get their own hoop so it could just be them and no one else forever and then he cradled said basketball in his arms while eddie, beautiful, had a giggly phone conversation with someone who wasnt buck. and he pouted about it because no one else should get to play with his eddie. thats his eddie
