When I was young, I was poor.
After many years of hard work, I am no longer young.

love is insane you feel like you’re always subtly asking “do you still love me even though i’m flawed” and the answer just keeps being yes
i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that’s a poem already what’s the point
you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling
Omg, it’s NOT cute that calling nonbinary people “they/thems” or “she/theys” ect has become like a default normalized thing even outside of trans people joking around.
It’s real weird and hackle-raising seeing presumably cis people (but honestly anyone) be like “some he/they I met” or what have you. That’s so dehumanizing and no one would say that about cis people. Just say nonbinary person you lunatics. Jfc
Tbh there is an overabundance of media about a nonhuman creature’s deep desire and journey to become human, and so very few of the opposite
Many of those movies/shows are very good and I like them but the whole time I’m feeling like it’s tragic in a way. The thought of a creature giving up its otherness to assimilate into humanity is really fuckin sad to me. Or a human getting the chance to be something else freaking out and rejecting it.
Just makes me feel all the more alienated, y'know. Like “damn why don’t I relate to this allegedly universal enthusiasm for being human” and “why is the desire to be anything else always wrong”
wanting depressed and traumatized middle aged characters to kiss and hold hands can truly be something incredibly personal.
