There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kids’ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like “enjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best it’s gonna get”. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? i’m tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 she’ll be so depressed she’s just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids don’t need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, it’s a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future that’s worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and i’m about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. i’m sorry you hate your life but you don’t get to dump your issues on these kids. don’t piss me off and leave these babies alone!

too much emphasis on girlbossing and not enough on girlsnoozing girlsleeping and girlchilling

don’t take my defeatism too seriously I will always begin again and again no matter what

I might sound miserable most of the time but at my core I’m a very hopeful person

"Why would this character be jealous of their friend's romantic relationships? Clearly they're in love with them" I don't know if you guys have ever Had Friends but it's actually pretty common for people to feel jealous if their best friend suddenly has less time for them and is prioritising someone they just met over them. That's not inherently romantic, that's the general human desire to be valued by the people you value.

Truth is you will never go back to your old self, life is about redefining and relearning to live with all versions of yourself

When I die I want to become a tree, I want my future generation to plant me in the backyard, I want my family to gather underneath me and take group photos knowing I’m there physically and spiritually, I want them to lay underneath me on hot summer days and understand I’m here to supply shade when the weather is sweltering, I want them to pluck fruit from me when they’re hungry, I want to supply them with the fresh oxygen they need. I want to grow to be hundreds of feet tall and millions of years old. I want the birds to create nests in me. I want initials of first and last loves carved into me. I want to be remembered forever.

why dont you make like a tree and feel the breeze and the sun and the changing of the seasons. and Grow

the intimacy of feeling safe enough to be vulnerable

not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!
