I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.

put a finger down if you: – edited one line for an hour – googled ‘how long should a paragraph be’ – changed your protagonist’s name 14 times – made a pinterest board that emotionally destroyed you – opened your doc, scrolled, sighed, and closed it – cried because you love your story so much but also want it to die in a fire

you’re a writer btw. hope this helps <3

“you couldn’t make this movie today” not because of cancel culture but because big studios aren’t willing to take risks on cool fun new ideas instead of adaptation number 7,000

ever notice how you can be emotionally mature, self-aware, therapized, journaled-up, and still fall face-first into your own humanity?

like you clock the red flag in real time, you name your inner child’s need, you breathe through the trigger—and then still spiral bc someone took too long to text back or you accidentally caught feelings for a walking trauma response

self-awareness doesn’t save you from feelings. it just lets you watch them unfold like, “ah yes. here comes the emotional devastation. completely understood. totally irrational. unstoppable.”

you can be wise and still messy. evolved and still yearning. a tragic little sea slug of consciousness, floating toward the light and bumping into rocks anyway.

and honestly? that’s kind of beautiful.🪼🫧

You see, dearest creature, I could sit up all night: we might go to moonlight ruins, cafés, dances, plays, junketings: converse for ever; sleep only while the moon covers herself for an instant with a thin veil;

Best conversation heard at Pride (between a woman and her 70-ish year old mother who was carrying a sign saying "I prefer my ICE crushed" and handing out water bottles to the protesters)

"So mom, have you ever kissed a girl?"

"Once. Against my will"

"So...it was unrequited?"

"Oh no, we were both married. I just didn't realize they were swingers"

"..........Mom."

"It was the 70s!"
