Are you a stayer or a goer? Figure it out.
There’s no wrong choice, but it is a choice. Don’t waffle in the moment whether you should stick something out, or bail at the first chance.
My friend Cat stays. She likes the stability, likes working things out.
I’m a runner. First whiff of something wrong and I’m gone.
I’ve wished I didn’t have to run away from things. Work, friends, school. I was running away from home long before I recognized that’s what I was doing.
I’ve never regretted running away, though. I’ve always regretting staying too long.
"it's concerning if university students are genuinely struggling to read full adult-level books for class" and "don't overstate the reporting of a single news article" and "if this shift is genuinely real, it's reflective of broad curriculum changes in lower education levels, probably at least in part due to remote schooling during COVID, and doesn't mean the new generation is being willfully Stupid and Vapid" and "when reading for personal pleasure people should read whatever they like without shame" and "reading from a broad variety of genres, styles, and authorial backgrounds will improve your understanding of both literature and the real world" and "actively mocking people for their tastes in books does not encourage them to become more adventurous you're just being mean" and also "but seriously adult books are not just boringly pretentious nothingburgers padded with pointless sex scenes, and claiming they are just shows how little you've read" all can and should co-exist.
Things my grandma thinks “made me” a homosexual:
#2 My best friend had a “lesbian” haircut.
She had the same haircut.
My vocalization of this thought was not appreciated.
I decided to fix this problem by walking 30 minutes in the rain, so I could go sit in a coffee shop
Soaking wet
Leaking misery and Tiger Balm
(I do actually feel better.)
I’m popping pills left and right
(It’s ibuprofen)
(The rain makes my joints ache)
I have not even brought up the “villains.” I say villains because they are not so much evil as they are violently protesting for human rights. Good for them.
My favorite character can open dimensional pockets. She kidnaps her favorite monsters and locks them in an old school to make them play dolls.
Generator Rex is legitimately one of the best cartoons ever created, and if I could find a way to watch it I would promptly write a 10k essay on why.
Does anyone still give a fuck about ROTG? because I’ve been sitting on a conspiracy theory essay about Jack Frost for years and I’m happy to post it
“You make a mess of mistakes, I just savour the taste, but I forgave this worthless world, because it gave me you.”
“I did this all so you could have your happy after, a never ending chapter. Call you up in the middle of the night just to enchant you[…]Now I’m part of you for the rest of your damn life.”
“Said you wanted closure, it’s never really over, didn’t wanna scare ya when I lost all my composure. Wishing you would save me, am I going just crazy? Every shooting stars rolling their eyes at me lately.”
I swear I meant this to be a writing blog where I distract myself from my obligations but I keep thinking about Batman on main
I love things more than most people. People often assume I’m manic. I’m not. 15 or so psychs have checked. (insert 2009 joke from Big Bang Theory here) I am So Tired of being told that there is something wrong with me and the scope of my obsessions and convictions simply because they’re more intense than others think appropriate.
I get that not everyone is gonna get my shakespearean poetry about religious trauma but
Everything that is me at my most undiluted is what gets me accused of putting on airs. I’m not trying to sound intellectual. I am not bragging about my education.
I don’t know what to do about that.
