nowadays i am surrounded by nothing but the kindest, most loving humans on earth. friends who throw me surprise birthday parties and travel the globe just to keep me company! (things i never ever thought i would deserve!) people who visit me in the hospital and people who call me late at night just because! i am a highly successful and accomplished lesbian, and i am finding so much love and support despite the sexism and homophobia i face, and every night i go to sleep happy. i used to cry every night as a teenager, and now all i do is smile and feel so at peace. i never thought i could feel this stable. i thought i was somehow worse and doomed to always feel unstable and sad and always have panic attacks, and now its been about three years since my last one

it genuinely gets so much better. you just have to survive the hard parts, then the growing pains feel like heaven. moving 5k miles from my home, leaving bad friends, it was all so hard and all so worth it. i thank the world i got to get old every day, and i cant wait to get older :-)

to anyone struggling right now - all you have to do tonight is survive. you will flourish someday, but if all you can do tonight is live, then live. it wont be easy to change your lide, but itll feel like the best thing on earth, and the feeling you get at dinner surrounded by people who love you and you love, that will make it all worth it. its beautiful to be queer once you make it out <3

Can we just appreciate that no matter how many versions of Peter Parker we get...

The one thing that never changes is his willingness to sacrifice everything for people who may never even know what he gave up.

That's why he'll always be my favorite superhero.

Not because he's the strongest.

They will try to convince you that femininity isn't attractive,

That children can give consent,

That men are only valiant when they are feeble,

That your life on planet earth is a valueless expense,

They will try to call fair, "foul",

They will try to call foul, "fair",

They will arrest the constant gardener,

Then eradicate the forests from the air.

It seems some people have forgotten in the fog of illusion,

That Lucifer was once a Being of great Light,

Evil doesn't need to come upon you forcefully

If it can woo you softly in the middle of the night.
