thoughts from a restless mind

i love you guillermo del totoro

[ID: Four gifs of Guillermo del Toro in an interview. He says, “I think the sublime confusion is from 19 to 29. You think you are late for everything, you’re a has-been, nothing is happening, there’s no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you’re 30.” /end ID]

compliment recklessly! say the nice things that come to your head! we've got better things to do than resisting the instinct to be kind!

feeling safe around someones energy is a different kind of intimacy

hard pill to swallow: the idea that your ‘soulmate’ or ‘the one’ will know exactly how to make you happy without you ever having to communicate is fake. the fantasy that you will have all your needs met in a relationship without ever having to be vulnerable is fundamentally not true. sometimes you have to express your needs and desires, you have to ask for things, you have to communicate how you want to be loved, it’s uncomfortable and clumsy but relationships are about learning to love each other not being a mind reader

Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear so immediately that the two of you, on some level, belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you’re in love or creating things together or foxhole buddies or partners in crime. It’s so clear, right off the bat, that this is what you’re supposed to be doing, that this is what you’re for. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest of circumstances, and they help you make a life. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but. It definitely makes me believe in something.

I really love those other forms of “i love you”. Like you know, when they tell you to put your seatbelt on, they make sure you dress warm because it got cold outside, they remember your favorite ice cream flavors, they know how you drink your coffee, they always got your back etc. All of these lowkey “i love you’s” are the best.

love triangles can’t exist without at least 1 lgbt person. cishets just don’t know how shapes work

Most of the characters that people call a love triangle is really just a love corner. And the woman is usually backed into it.

Oh snap
