My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.

Headcanoning a character as trans is one of the highest compliments I can give them

Love character relationships that can only be described as "whatever the fuck these two have going on"

i think maybe "sapphic yearning" is a kind of false consciousness that justifies one's own continued immiseration

i was once a yearner but at a certain point you have to grow up and let your private, overwrought fantasies confront real love in the real world and put yourself at the mercy of honest dealing with people
