i dont care if ppl think this is weird i think its sick af. this man is clearly so in shape and probably ripped and this level of mind body coordination is impressive. dude is moving like a human ancestor and hes fast and organic abt it. dude never lost the childlike wonder of moving like this. dude probably more in touch w nature and self than most ppl tf

anyway i know we talk a lot of shit abt this site but i just wanna say that tumblr taught me to romanticize life a little. like where else am i gonna find an essay abt how hands were made to hold other hands or posts with thousands of notes abt how peeling an orange for a loved one can be the purest act of care & love? all the softest, sweetest and kindest ppl on the internet are here and i'm so grateful to be here along with y'all. i love you and please keep romanticizing the smallest things... god knows we need that now more than ever.

Making a web weave seemed fun. Here’s one about being “masks the whole way down” (@/notquiteaghost) or something along those lines

"I love you , I'm glad we're friends"

Sometimes you stress yourself out to the point of tears and then u have to coax urself off the ledge by reminding urself that nothing is ever that fucking serious . It works out how it works out the point is we put in the effort

‘how would other people describe you’ why would i know this

[dumbass-archives]

hey are you the american prairies the way that people who don't know you make uncharitable generalizations and assume there's nothing of interest but people who do know you think you're beautiful and unique and defend you fiercely and consider you a vital part of the world

[dumbass-archives]

ok fine maybe i DID come back wrong. what are you going to do about it. kill me? put me back in the ground? after all this effort? all this pain and suffering only to find out bringing me back wasn't worth it after all? you worked so hard. are you going to waste all of that just because im not what you wanted? just because i belong only to myself? are you going to let me pick out my own coffin

The Aromatic pipeline of 'Friends -> Friends With Benefits -> Being Forgotten About When They Get A Partner -> Facing The Realization That Friendship Is Never Valued Equally To Romance' really fucking sucks, actually.

heya april, please please feel free to ignore this if you're not alright with asks about advice but your post mentioning burnout made me think a bit. wonder if you have any insight

how do you deal with the burnout from that exact thing? being okay all the time, being kind, being okay and healing all the time, and burning out on it? where do you even go from there?

i've sent you an ask before and signed it. i may as well continue that trend

-zero

Honestly, I think one of the crucial parts for me was realizing that healing didn’t mean I was okay all the time. Sometimes healing meant crying and breaking down and feeling things. Sometimes it meant asking for help and support. Trying to be “okay” all the time just led to crashes for me.

I don’t have specific advice for this I’m sorry! But I try to listen to my needs a bit more. If I’m feeling drained from being “okay” then maybe it means I’m not really okay and I need to admit and feel that.

When I feel burnt out, I try and make an effort to “have fun”. Watch a comfort show. Find something I’m looking forward to. Something I’m excited about. I try and break up my routine a bit.

This is different for everyone, so I just speak for me! But sometimes, I find that relaxing in bed just makes the burn out worse? I feel more drained. I find actively doing stuff I love and being able to laugh and enjoy things is what helps me the most. It’s different for everyone.

Reflection

My face is not my own.

I suppose Theirs isn't either.

Sometimes I'm so violently jealous of it, of Them. The opportunity to walk through the world and carve an identity for myself, just for a little while.

I get recognized, called out to with several different names, all wrong

My Mother mistakes us for each other, not even My voice is My own

And even in mirrors, the similarities burn like acid beneath My veins, in My very bones.

Someone asks us if we're twins. The ten years between Me and Them crackle, electric.

It's odd, I think. My Sibling and I are not twins.

But I find I relate to the twins I know more than I logically should.
