i know you chose me and i should be over the moon and i am i’m in the stars but the problem is that i forgot in space you can’t breathe i forgot that with the sun lighting me up you’ll see all my flaws i forgot that if you get close to me you’ll realize how little i’ve got that i’m just a mess and bad with love and worse with other people that i’m alive only by the grace of god and barely living anyway and that you are too good for me and i know it i know it like yeah i should be living in the moment but what happens when you find out that you gave me your heart but i don’t know how to hold it

Rule number 1: Never fall in love. Being in love is a dangerous thing. You look at him in the wavering light of the room and watch amazed how the bright yellow flames reflect on your dark shape like a halo. It’s a sin, really.

Rule number 8: Don’t let them see behind the mask. He looks at you with something so utterly blank and insane that you don’t know how to react.  Your last lover, at least, had had the good sense to be disgusted. Your last lover, at least, had been smart enough to see you for what you really are: a broken shell of a human being. Hungry, desperate, eager to break open everyone around you to taste blood.  But his wide-eyed fear and adoration does something to you that makes it harder to breath.

Rule number 24: Never let your emotions betray you. Would you kill to save a life? The question is innocent enough but you hear the faint trace of a warning in the words. He’s the hollow chest and the bloody knuckles that stay behind. Broken bones and spiteful confession from cherry lips on Sunday duty. He knows exactly how to infect you inch by inch, sense by sense. You close your eyes and listen to his heartbeat - strong and honest and eager. But you don’t answer.

Rule number 29: Don’t let anyone save you. For the terrible split of a moment you are certain he is about to kiss you. You’re already anticipating the hard press of lips against your own and you’re ready to release all of your anguish and fear into the boy. Then he pulls away.  The warmth of his fingers still lingers on your skin but he is gone, his heart half across the room. It hurts but it’s better this way.

Rule number 31: Show no weaknesses. The boy hates your eyes. Hate, or some similar emotional. Something like love. You know because you listen to the fragile stagger of his breath each time it shifts and hitches as soon as he looks at you. Too raw, too expressive.  You feel naked in front of him.

Rule number 1: Never fall in love. Being in love is a dangerous thing. It makes you vulnerable and captivated and angry while you wear his name like a tattoo on your heart. Like a burn in your veins. A mouthful of apologies carefully tucked behind the bleak row of hungry teeth. He will become your prayers and your sins and when people tell stories about how Lucifer fell because he loved God the most, you already prepare for the fall.  Because love will strip you to your bones. Love destroys you. The boy half-lies, half-sits sleeping in your uncomfortable armchair, head slumped down, drooling all over the expensive leather of your jacket that is sprawled above him. He reeks of a long night with beer and fear clinging to his pores and the stinging sweat of adrenaline that slowly rushes off. You can taste him on your tongue and you wish, greedily, to run your fingers over the inside of his wrists and feel his pulse like braille on your fingertips. You keep your distance and watch him from the other side of the room. The orange light of the flames inside your head paint his shapes like something holy and divine. It’s enough for now, isn’t it?

One thing I’ve learned in life, if you act really self-assured and confident you can pretty much get away with anything.

dear teens out there struggling rn: I failed classes every year in HS and lost my summers to summer school and I barely graduated and my teachers thought I was worthless and a lost cause and my guidance counselor told my mom I wasn’t “smart enough” to go to college but then I saw a counselor and found out I just had unchecked mental illness and I took care of myself for a few years and  eventually went to college and I graduated with one degree at the top of my class and now I’m blazin’ another badass success trail toward my second degree so even if you don’t go to college and your path lies elsewhere just never ever let someone convince you you’re worthless or not X enough bc

ppl really do love to believe the worst and only you know about the light burning in your heart and one day everyone else will see it even if now nobody even glances at you. just keep moving.

take care of yourself as best as you can and one day your life will start to come together. I promise.

Brain teasers for egalitarians/equalists.

Say I’m 32 years old and you’re 22 years old.

In how many years will we be the same age?

…

Silly question, right? If you define aging as a process that stops at death, the only way we’ll ever be the same age is if I die first. If you don’t, then we’ll never be the same age. Every time you age a year, I also age a year. Since our ages increase at the same rate, you will never catch up to my head start. We have achieved a total equality of aging, but that does not change the permanent inequality of our age.

Okay, say I have a million dollars and you’re completely broke. If we both get a dollar a day, how long will it take you to catch up with me?

Now, this one’s even sillier, because if you have no other resources, your dollar a day is going to be eaten up by basic living expenses that it doesn’t quite meet, and I have an excess of money that can be spent on money-making opportunities that pay off far better than an additional $365 a year. I could literally burn the dollar I’m getting as part of our Totally Equal Income and still make more money in a year than you do just by sticking my money in the bank. 

But still: both of us getting a dollar a day is totally equal, right? It means we’re being treated exactly the same.

And now, final problem:

If we have a world that contains structural inequalities, systemic imbalances, disproportionate danger faced by some, and unequal access to resources and opportunities, is “treating everyone the same” really going to result in equality?

Show your work.
