when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever
#this but also just using this post to vent. so much has changed since i was last on here and yet today was the lowest i have ever#emotionalyly felt in 2025#this is not that serious its not the end of the world but it feels like it feels like sll the yesrs ive spent#trying to be more confident and proud and thickskinned... all of it is a facade

An incomplete list of Palestinians killed in 2022 labeled by name, age, date and location of death.
This doesn’t even cover the last 75 years since the Nabka! It’s clear who the victims of colonization are.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸

40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.
#everything encapsulated between hands and paint and a canvas#smth smth ai about not being able to do hands

unstoppable force (wanting to be the kindest version of myself) vs immovable object (all the anger and hatred I have inside myself)
#i havent reblogged properly since last year#i wonder who i was just those months ago#who i will be#who i am#:/#3 am and i am still awake bc i have horrible sleeping habits but most importantly many tears#and an ache#to love and be loved and to do it everyday#the sadness in me quakes and the desire in me rumbles

it is truly astounding how unembarrassed people are to have less basic curiosity about the world than a rural peasant from the 1400s
#the comment section is a warzone#the concept of engaging critically with a post like this is so ?? like yeah ok but not everything is about everything#if we continue to intersect a user’s hot take that is valid in their own right w like.. systemic discrimination it just dulls down the latte#like idk if what im saying makes sense#but some things are truly not that deep like some things apply some dont#there are ppl out here who activiely refuse to learn shit despite being in a position where they can and should#hot take ppl should learn basic life skills if they can ‘hmmmm actually-‘#like#this is the internet#agree to disagree ! ofc thats valid and ofc critical engagement is important but this is truly not s big deal#like its literslly nothing#its just an opinion that is not going to activiely change or harm the current narratives of dociety yada yada#like ?????#this shit is so common on the internet i honestly wonder how we as a species survive n communicate w each other#when we’re so busy trying to take everything as a personal offence but also as a moral indication of character#wild

a very quick poem i just wrote, made from excerpts of texts my mum has sent me this year.
#this made me cry#i think one day i will need to sit down and address why content about parents makes me sob so much#poems and literature but also those tiktoks of ppls parents being happy or texting them cute things#i love my parents but i am filled w some grief and anger and resent for them#i love them and could not imagine a life without them. could not imagine what itd be like to say goodbye to them forever#im literally cryingas i write this#and yet they have hurt me#and there is still so much love#and still so much tears#i need to go to sleep and finals have left me brain dead but#yeah

[tearing at my hair] no love however brief is wasted no love however brief is wasted no love however brief is wasted
#this is true#i may have loved you for just a while and it has not amounted to much (it has amounted to nothing now) but it was a wonderful time nonethele#i am grateful ive had opportunities to love and be love and enter peoples lives#i mourn some friendships and wonder how we couldve grown so different and so apart but our time together#although limited#are times i’ll cherish forever#none of the love i have ever given out is regretted#i regret that perhaps it ended so abruptly or it didnt last as long but my love was never wasted#on love and loss#thank you for entering my life and im sorry to see you go

you examine yourself like studying a virus.
for days after, months - years, even - you torture yourself over small objects. times where you misspoke or interrupted with a joke when you should have listened. times when you didn't know how to show your support. times when you were louder, brassier, inappropriate for the situation. times when you were too quiet, shy, cold.
fucker. you constantly promise that next-time you'll do better. you will make sure every person you come in contact with leaves smiling. that they'll all feel loved and accepted and held. that you take care. other people do it! other people are actually good people; you're just cruel.
it feels like you are fighting a horrible little beetle. one of those parasites that control ants. one who comes up and wiggles into your brain and makes you a shameful ghost of a person. too spineless to ever be a demon. so what if you were having a bad day? you don't get to stumble. so what if you are overwhelmed? you don't need to make a scene.
all this time on the earth. you are still somehow convinced: the mistakes you make are more important than any other part of you. you still feel like you are wrestling a nature you do not understand; one that coils horribly inside of you. one that seeks to destroy, to undo.
you go home. you replay the moments where you weren't perfect. be better, you scold. do more. you are an accident. a train wreck. something to abhor.
the questions always ringing in your head: why did i do that? why do i slip? why can't i just fucking be normal? what if all i am is just ... this?
#what if all i am is this and there is no better or worse or worse or prettier or skinnier or smarter me#apparently this hyperfocus on the self what i call introspection to legitimize is both my strongest suit and the most abnormal one#how do i begin to un-examine myself and every thing ive done?#i have memories from almost decades ago just of me making a mistake and its still haunting me#my memory is blurred save for these moments . all that exists in my head are the times j let myself pick myself apart#i am the observer and the mirror and the reflection all at once#all at once i am . my biggest critic#if this is all i am then this is it#there is no morality in this#i am this and#and thats good right?#to be here still#its good
