when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit

Everyone remembers their first love, feeling that adrenaline rush for the first time, the naivety, the feeling you are scared of but crave, the labyrinth you want to explore.

But the second one, its different, it somehow feels purer, it's new but charted, exciting,wild, overwhelming and cautious all at once, its the forbidden wild flower you want to touch,soak in. It's the maze you wish to get lost in. It's what you now remember as your first. What you write in your diary about and what you safeguard from everything.

in this household, you are encouraged to read, use escapism as a coping mechanism and so on and so forth

I think everyone should make dumb ugly zines and bad music and write shitty books with weird premises and publish them for pay what you will online. I think people should write plays that are only ever intended to be performed with their friends in their living rooms. I think people who like ttrpgs should explore bizarre itch.io games and new systems that have no affiliation whatsoever with any major publishing house. If youre lucky enough to have a cool local community radio station nearby you should listen to that and what people close to you have to say and what they're creating that has no focus on being nationally appealing. I just think creation should be more joyful and local both in a geographic sense and a personal and social sense and unconcerned with whether or not it will be commercially viable or slick or even good beyond your own pride in it. And I think it's good to seek out art that exists for its own sake or to appeal to the community it was created within

ur early 20s are about being obsessed with kindness and mary oliver and seasonal fruits and recreating comfort foods you ate as a child and learning how to love and crying because you have no choice but to live the life before you and finding god on the bus back from the grocery store

I want to be myself again. I want to be six. I want to stop knowing everything I know.
