You have to love her. You have to love her when she sleeps til noon because she was up late. You have to love her when she doesn’t have the energy to do anything but lay in bed. You have to love her when she didn’t shave today. You have to love her when her thighs are hairy because the sensation of shaving them is too much for her to handle. You have to love her when she spends a day playing games because working is too overwhelming. You have to love her when people assume the worst of her. You have to love her when the world turns against her. You have to love her when she feels powerless and alone and abandoned. You have to love her unconditionally.

You have to love her when she's plural. You have to love her when she's little. You have to love her when she's racialized. You have to love her when her autism isn't just quirky hyperfixations. You have to love her when her mental health isn't just #Relatable Internet memes. You have to love her when she's disabled. You have to love her when she has chronic pain. You have to love her when she needs help with the little things. You have to love her when she's unemployed, broke, struggling. You have to love her when people ignore her. You have to love her when people talk over her. You have to love her enough to lift her up. You have to love her enough to give her what she needs. You have to love her enough to stand by her no matter what, because no one deserves to be without love.

Baby don't you know the whole world is different now. I'm falling back in love with cliches. Every sunset and four leaf clover and fairy light moment. All hopscotch and garden gnomes and bonfires. I'm done with irony and playing hard to get or being the person who wins by caring less. I am living joyfully for ugly clothes and bad art and singing loudly and eating well and kissing any person that lets me. No more hiding. I got two shaky hands but if you take em, we can go dancing. Don't you know spring has sprung? Follow me up. Come play in the sun.

why does it take SO much energy to keep your house only sort of clean

"if you forgot then it obviously wasn't important to you" is an ableist thing to say and i'm tired of pretending it's not

I've forgotten *my own birthday* before. There are several years of my life just straight up missing. In the past I've forgotten silly little frivolous things like NAMES OF LOVED ONES or WHERE MY HOUSE IS. But obviously none of that was important. Fucking awful, ableist thing to say.

Chronic illness sucks because you’ll catch yourself thinking shit like ‘I wish it was possible to bathe regularly’ or ‘they should invent a digestive system that doesn’t hurt’ and then realise… that’s actually the case for most people. That’s the norm. Not only do most people have that, they don’t even think about it

the funniest moment in dungeon meshi is when marcille is having her nightmare and brings up her dead bird while also talking about her dead dad, saying “papa and pipi” and laios automatically assumes pipi is marcilles third nonbinary parent on top of her mom and dad
