”do I have doe eyes or siren eyes?” Yall are asking the wrong questions. Which Disney prince/princess would win in a fight.

so very fed up with Gen Z’s idea of romance. There are so many examples, the one that pisses me off the most was people thinking “My Love Mine All Mine” was a ROMANTIC love song.

You people heard “nothing in the world belongs to me but my love, mine all mine, all mine” and thought it was about a PERSON? Mitski herself said “my love” was in reference to the love you have stored inside yourself, that you give out.

I’m all for art being up to interpretation, but the truth is that your lover does not belong to you. Your lover has parents and family and friends and pets and people that see them in the places they walk by everyday.

this goes in line with people saying they love cannibalism as a “metaphor for all-consuming love”. Love is the root of everything good in the world, the most sacred thing in humanity. Love isn’t for consumption. You aren’t consumed by love. It fills you up and makes you whole. That shouldn’t cause violence?

You aren’t in love, you’re selfish. You should love your friends and you should love the universe and the sky and yourself and your go-to meal that you get every take out. You should be kind and you should have faith in other people.

I don’t really have an end point to this - I’ve never been good at writing essays - just that teenagers (or young people, that’s who it mostly is) need to understand that romantic love is not the most important thing in the whole world. You’re the most important thing in the whole world. The love you put out and the love you take in and being kind especially being kind, those are the most important things in the whole world. Romance is great, but that’s just a part of being alive. If you learn to appreciate yourself, and everything around you, instead of just this one, singular person, perhaps you’ll be happier.
