oh my god. Oh my god

@silkplay sent: of course you're going to see me again. / accepting.

❛ okay, but you don't knooooow that. not reaaaallyyyy. ❜

( they really do. they're going to college, not dying, amina. spare us the dramatics, will you? )

her voice comes out muffled when she speaks — probably due to the fact that her face is currently pressed tight against their chest from the hug she refuses to let end. can you really blame her though? she kind of thought this day would never come, and now ... here it is, in all its awful, awful glory. god, what is she even supposed to do next summer without them around?

from where she's still squished against andie, mina moves her head just enough so she can peer up at them, puppy dog eyes in full force — as if this being their last year of camp was a decision they were making and not, just, y'know ... the passage of time making itself known. they've always been a year older than her, and this was always how things were going to play out. yet somehow, she'd never prepared herself for it.

an overdramatic sigh leaves her lips, and she hugs them tighter, cheek smushing against their chest. as she speaks, she leans into them further, until her face is once again obscured in the folds of their shirt. ❛ what if college is so fun that you just, like, immediately forget about me? and then we never speak again, and then i'm alone foreeeeeever ... ❜

( and if there's a hint of real fear in that, she's hoping they won't pick up on it. it's a stupid thing to worry about, and not something she really thinks will even happen, so there's no point bugging them with it. she's just being dumb. )

❛ can you come visit, since you'll have longer breaks? or — ❜ and she perks up with a gasp, kicked-puppy pout exchanged for a grin and eyes so bright you can practically see the lightbulb switching on behind them, ❛ i can come visit you! and see all your cool college stuff! ❜ she beams up at them, bouncing up onto her tiptoes to grab their face and bring them eye to eye. ❛ you gotta promise me we're gonna do one of those, okay? i'm gonna need to hang out with you in person, like, at least once, okay? i cannot survive on just texts for a whole year, and we won't have summer as a guarantee this time. ❜

im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!

an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.

“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids
