So lovely. by aethr𐀔
I don’t think I’ve ever met someone more inconsiderate and selfish in my life.
Someone who is so convinced they’re a good person they’re able to convince other people they won’t destroy their lives.
Liars who can lie so well you would never know the person they showed to other people.
Serving irony while feigning ignorance.
Someone who can live lives while destroying every single one of them for a moment of bliss.
A creekless minnow.
A warmthless burning fire.
A loveless cupid.
A sinning saint.
Lovely is the girl he holds in his mind.
She isn’t real.
Maybe once, but never again.
So lovely he calls after her.
Because he doesn’t know her name.

My name is Ash. I'm 24 years old and writing this from the harbour city of Newcastle, Australia. It's my second-last fully uninterrupted day here. I've lived in this country for 17 years and immigrated with my family from India to Perth, WA.
I've begun this blog to put into practice my love and affinity for writing, even if it is in a bite-sized form. I've wanted to chronicle my life experiences for a while, no matter how fractured or tinged by the habitual chaos of your 20s they may be.
The glaring truth is that this period in life is taking its natural toll on me as an individual. The starkest experience has been that of failure - to feel the bruise of imperfection in early adulthood, in lieu of the rosy days of high-school. It's been nearly 7 years since then.
If I could condense my feelings towards beginning a blog, I would say I wish I had started earlier. The 20s are a formative phase in life from any angle. I feel that growth and betterment are inevitable - but the uncertainty of that when you are wedged in such chaos makes verbal snapshots all the more necessary.
a couple years ago, i got really ambitious and decided i was going to make a uquiz. it would be the uquiz to end all uquizzes, it would mean i used my history degree and it would be queer with a capital Q. and to be fair to past me, i did all the questions, had chosen what (or who, in this case) the results would be, and just had to write the bios for those results, which i did half of... and then crashed. two years later, i finally convinced myself to finish it off, so i mostly proudly present the 'which historical gay are you?' uquiz. if your result's bio is a little lacking, thats not because youre boring, it's because i'm chronically ill <3

*stands on soap box* oscar piastri is sexy actually! he is very dedicated and focused and talented! just because he was quiet in his first year thrown into the insane media circus and with two big personalities (lando and zak, not to mention the other 19 drivers + team dynamics on the grid) doesn't mean he doesn't have a personality! he is tactical and smart actually! he has that cool composure that mclaren really needs right now! he has the insane juniors track record! he said "fuck it" to $4mn of Alpine investment and advocated for himself to have the best possible f1 drive! he gets this look in his eyes when he's determined that is extremely compelling! he drives like a capybara with a toothache and the only antidote is him winning! his eyebrows are cute when he does that frowny thing! his story is in the making and he is writing it right now and we have the privilege of watching! *alarms sound* *is dragged offstage*
realizing that despite how old she my be, marcille will be younger than falin very quickly. Marcille will have walked the earth for many decades to be a young adult, but only in a few heartbeats will falin look at her with an infinitely more worldly glance. Falin's face marked with wrinkles and her mind filled with the wisdom only approaching death can bring you, marcille will be unable to understand her. Marcille will be too immature, too naive, and too many worlds apart for them too love each other the way they used to. Marcille's body and mind were never meant to change so quickly and by the time she catches up to where falin is in life and can finally understand falin will be long gone.
