Motherhood is sleepless nights and endless feedings and dirty diapers and cold coffee and holding your bladder and forgetting to feed yourself and screaming fits and tears (not just the baby) and mom guilt and mom guilt and mom guilt But motherhood is also first smiles and laughing while dreaming and little toes and fingers and that baby smell–you know the one–and cuddles and cute clothes and discovering–people, places, smells, books–together and grace and love and love and love

Guys it just keeps getting better though

Honestly, me too.

it’s kinda heartbreaking to me that adrien’s best friend really is ladybug. like he has nino chloe who? and the others in the class have been showing more interest in him, but the person he feels closest to in terms of trust and friendship is ladybug, a girl whose real name he doesn’t even know. to me it just shows how much time outside of fighting crime they spend with each other, that he feels like he knows enough about her to call her his closest friend. sorry it’s just a revelation i had. it’s really soft and i’m emo

The iconic last scene of the origins episode took place in the rain not only because it was a moody backdrop to a cinematically beautiful moment but because it was meant to symbolize Destruction and Creation coming together for the first time out of superpowered suits, marking the end of what both characters had known, as well as the beginning of who they could become. The rain is meant to symbolize washing away and destroying what had come before and bringing new life, and it was in this way that the creators contextualized what would become and has been the heart and soul of this show. In this essay I will-

I never should’ve taught my parrot how to laugh it’s given him far too much power

do you know how embarrassing it is to have a pet that can laugh at you? I dropped my ice cream and wailed in despair and my parrot zoomed out of nowhere JUST so he could stand on the couch and laugh at me. I’m being called a dumb bitch in my own home by my OWN SON.

Adding a caption when u reblog a post is like… serious business. You gotta have something good to say. You can make or break a post with that caption

cutting a worm will not make two worms

lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.

Fuck. This makes so much sense and explains so much about me. I must have inherited this from my mum.

so I’d normally put this in the tags but it’s kind of a lot so just reblog this from OP to skip my commentary. But I dogsit for a family who is clearly LOADED. Their house is immaculate. High, vaulted ceilings, wood flooring, two chandeliers in one room. These things are fancy, right ?? I really don’t know, anything that isn’t tile or 30 year old carpet seems fancy to me. It also so… bare. Everything is organized perfectly, they have no excess. Their decor is extravagant and yet minimal - it is carefully and precisely executed. Nothing that doesn’t match the aesthetic sits in their living room. I tried to replicate some of it, but it’s just not possible. I have every book I’ve ever owned, my mom keeps papers upon papers, VHSs in a dresser, how do you just get rid of these things when you know you may not have the opportunity to buy them again? How must it feel to live in such orderly quarters where everything is replaceable?

This really locked into my brain when I was reading one of the declutter your space things and it suggested getting rid of duplicate highlighters and pens. /Pens/. It suggested that you needed one or two working pens, so if you had extra you should get rid of them. That was when I realized minimalist living was /innately/ tied to having spare money, because the idea was, of course you just went out and bought the single replacement thing whenever the first thing broke. You obv. Had the time and money to only ever hold what you needed that moment, because you could always buy more later.

there’s a nice article titled “minimalism is just another boring product wealthy people can buy” by Chelsea Fagan which i feel addressed lots of my problems with minimalism, you can read it [here]

It’s also incredibly depressing to live a “minimalist” living space when it’s because you can’t afford to buy yourself things. Keeping the things you *do* manage to accumulate can be a balm when things are terrible 

WHY DID THEY DELETE THIS

He’s such a sweetheart
