I am a huge fan of retiring to my quarters

the aroace read of ryland grace is so personal and haunting. "you don't even have a dog." was it not enough to love the world for the sake of living in it. was it not enough to live for the thrill of discovery. was it not enough to smile at your students. was it not enough to be afraid.

I hate people who call themselves “brutally honest” when really they’re just mean. You don’t need to be brutal to be honest. You can deliver the truth in a way that’s direct yet kind. If you only use the truth to hurt people, that’s not honesty. It’s just being an asshole

magic is real you fools it happens when you make other people laugh

"but the text never explicitly stated it!!!" hey, so that's actually what they tried to teach you in those english classes you barely passed 😁

i cannot overstate how good it feels to watch older movies where the actors were still allowed to look kinda weird and not be conventionally attractive. like it is genuinely healing

Submitting myself to the terrifying ordeal of hope

Grown adult friend groups that are like cliquey and still operate off high school dynamics are absurd why are you larping euphoria plots in your 20s

People really underestimate the power of just telling someone you like them. romantically obviously but hell even just platonically too. You can admit you enjoy peoples presence it doesn’t have to be mind games it’s okay to just be sincere and true with your thoughts and intentions btw

people should be allowed to have low ambition, and also be able to feed a family on the salary of a cashier at a convenience store.
