I love going to second hand bookshops. For some reason old books feel so mystical. Like tell me your secrets. What have you seen. Who has read you before me.

I wish I could make myself understand this

you will live and you will say the wrong things and make mistakes and people will love you anyways.

you know what’s wild is that all these crazy standards we hold ourselves to are things that we don’t even value in another person? like i’ve never been like “wow I love that this friend of mine is too proud to ask for help and never complains about their feelings” or “my favorite quality about this friend is that they get straight A’s and never get overwhelmed and has never told me about a problem” or “i love that this friend has never been wrong about anything or slipped up and said something embarrassing once in their life” and yet here we are, pushing ourselves past our limits for and beating ourselves up over slipups of things that our friends probably wouldn’t even rank in the top 50 reasons they like us

you have to stay alive. you're going to be such a beautiful middle aged freak. young freaks will see you in the street and know that things can be okay.

that james baldwin quote where he says, “it took many years of vomiting up all the filth i’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before i was able to walk on the earth as though i had a right to be here.”

Oh my god you guys, you NEED to watch this interview

It's so amazing to see how people before us bravely chose to be themselves despite living in a world where they weren't really understood, which paved the way for our generation to have words to describe ourselves and examples to look up to.

Both the interviewer and interviewee are being so respectful, too. Just honest and open dialogue, I love it.

"Why do you have a mustache as a girl"

"Why do you wear makeup as a boy"

Oh haven't you heard? The future is androgynous

Going through my drafts and i found this. I remember writing this in the middle of the night after waking up from a dream, but I CANNOT for the life of me remember what the rest of it was.

Any guesses?

It’s crazy how low self-worth fucks with peoples lives

[amomentwiser]

“When you feel perpetually unmotivated, you start questioning your existence in an unhealthy way; everything becomes a pseudo intellectual question you have no interest in responding whatsoever. This whole process becomes your very skin and it does not merely affect you; it actually defines you. So, you see yourself as a shadowy figure unworthy of developing interest, unworthy of wondering about the world - profoundly unworthy in every sense and deeply absent in your very presence.”

— Ingmar Bergman

When people are like, "oh I was talking about you the other day."

I'm like ????

I exist even when I'm not present?

Like it's so weird that people think of me when I'm not there. Like, idk.

I identify as a girl but my knees identify as a granny

Fuckin hell.

Or an adventure between adventures.

I don't like smiling on command. Like when people take pictures and are like "smile!"

Why do I have to prove I'm happy? I'm happy on the inside, leave me alone.
