“You are your family’s hope now.”

— Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte (b. 30 July 1818)

what I wish my parents had told me: sometimes you will fail, and it will be scary and it will suck, but you will probably not die

Happy Narumayo day, y’all.

Shisho, wait! My hat flew—

“Whatever happened in the past, we’re just us. But… maybe it’s really special for our dads to see you and me standing side by side like this.”

but she appeared before the hopeless me once again. to be with me, close to me. she even listened to what someone like me had to say. she wasn’t disgusted or didn’t scold. time after time. she accepted me time and again. she’s beloved to me. like how the sky feels so close, yet so far away. like a mother.

“But rather than being someone I was romantically attracted to, she felt more like a mother to me.”

I have things I cannot give up, just as you do!
