the woman you’re becoming will cost you people, relationships, spaces, and material things. choose her over everything.

GOOD THINGS ARE COMING!

“you’re such a ray of sunshine!” thanks! one day i chose to act happy and then i kept choosing it over and over and over and over until the neurological pathways formed like desire paths in the thicket. i dug and clawed my nails into the grooves of my brain and carved out joy. i retouch it every day.

i love divorce i love when people realize that they aren't a good fit for each other and get divorced about it. more people should get divorced

my least favorite thing about this website is how culturally protestant some of you are like divorce is almost always a good thing in the long-term especially when the alternative would be a miserable/abusive marriage. but instead divorce is always framed as this social and moral failing of the participants. but whateverrrr i'm always a fan of divorce i think it should be recommended more often in more circumstances and i'm not joking

honestly what the hell are you supposed to do. is my question

when James Baldwin said I can’t be a pessimist because I’m alive

when James Baldwin said to be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So I am forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe that we can survive whatever we must survive.

it is important to cling to wonder btw

many people grow up and forget what it feels like to be a child. we must remember this. we have to remember what a joy it is to play. to learn. to build connections. to grow. to experience. we must hold onto the things that awe us. we are changed by what we love
