Gotta know the difference between being patient and wasting your time
call me cliché, but i want to fall in love in a library
your standards should be high for both your friendships and romantic relationships. everyone you surround yourself with should have qualities you actually admire.
my favorite trope is the ‘we HAVE to kiss in order to keep our cover and that’s when we realize we actually have feelings for each other welp’ trope and i’ll love it every time
I’m that kind of person who keeps letters and birthday cards, tickets from trains, parks or museums.
me: *pours my heart out*
everyone: :) anyway……..
Kids. Teenagers. As someone staring 40 in the face lemme tell you a thing.
You are going to be horrified and embarrassed at some point by the shit you are doing now.
And you are going to wish with all your might you’d done moreof it.
You’re gonna wish you had more selfies, more photos, more videos being dumb with your friends. You’re going to wish you’d had your hair even higher or your shoes even sparklier.
Go. Document the shit out of your ridiculous life. Fuck trends but if you wanna be trendy, go all in. Fuck in-groups and subcultures but if one sings to you, do it all. Be exactly as cool or punk rock or goth or fandom or country or hardcore or hip hop or whatever, and don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Just don’t hurt people. That’s the only thing you’ll ever genuinely live to regret.
IMPORTANT. TRUTHS.
Reminder that there is nothing wrong with you being 18, 20, 30 and not having had sex or not having kissed someone etc. There is not a time limit on when you need to have your first kiss etc. It’s also a reminder that you don’t have to do anything because everyone else is, just because your friends are drinking doesn’t mean you have to if you don’t want to, just because your friends are having sex doesn’t mean you need to either. Only do things when you want to and when you’re ready to.
imo we need to swap the phrase “no one will love you until you love yourself” with something to the effect of “if you dnt recognize your own value, you’re a lot more likely to put up with mistreatment that you dnt deserve”
it’s not rly a matter of self-love as much as it is being able to stand up for yrself when you need to, and even though the latter is part of that process, it’s still not the same thing
You ever sat back and realized how much you allowed yourself to suffocate at one point in time because you were too kind?
i noticed this thing with a lot of men. they tend to be really generous and kind only to women they’re attracted to. duh, obvious statement to most of you but it’s jarring when you see it first hand and it’s so prevalent and insidious to the point that it feels uncomfortable accepting help from a strange without thinking of the possibility of him having ulterior motives. and it’s disheartening knowing that if you’re in a position needing a man’s help, a lot of times it will depend entirely on whether or not he’s attracted to you. and the problem is that they think this goes both ways. i can show a simple gesture of kindness and a man will take it as me coming on to him. me letting you go in front of me on the checkout line because you have one item, me offering change because you don’t have any, or anything other well-intentioned act of kindness results in a man trying to eventually make a move thinking that it’s mutual. how sad it must be to think that there’s no kindness for the sake of kindness. that all good done in this world is based on sexual impulses instead of the desire to help another human being just how you like to be helped.
me: *keeps creating dramatic love scenarios at night and can’t fall asleep*
“mad for no reason” = “I can’t understand your anger so I’m going to paint you as irrational”
