How Do I Make My Entire Life A Love Letter To The Moon?

reblog this if you think scars, stretch marks, chubby tummies, hip dips, literally anything on the human body that society calls “not normal”, are cute and valid and loved <3

people are so lovely‼️ they do these ordinary and mundane things like someone is walking hand in hand with their lover and someone is helping a blind old lady cross the road and someone is dancing in the rain with their best friend and someone is helping a little girl find her mother on a crowded playground and someone's cat is lying next to them on the couch snoring loudly and it's adorable and someone is dancing to music alone in their room and someone just went into a bakery and is deeply inhaling the sweet smell of freshly baked bread and a little kid is waiting for his grandpa to pick him up and someone is making dinner for their family while singing their favorite song and someone just confessed their love to someone and someone is talking about something they love with a sparkle in their eyes and you’re reading this and you are alive and you are loved, everything will be fine, you'll be okay and you'll be happy

Bi culture is coming out to your friends and them immediately asking if you’re sure or you’re just experimenting

Here’s What’s Happening In Cuba

This is a basic summary of yesterday’s events. It is important that word of what’s going on gets out and spreads because the Cuban government is tying to silence and isolate Cuba from the rest of the world. I am begging you to read and reblog this.

Yesterday, Cubans took to the streets and started to protest against the government, the Castro regime, and the current president, Miguel Diaz-Canel. Do not be fooled by the word president, Canel was not elected by the people, he was placed into power by people who were already in power. Cuba isn’t a democracy, it’s a dictatorship.

The protests started in San Antonio, and they spread to every province in Cuba. People, all kinds of people, were out there in the streets protesting against the dictatorship all day. They faced off against police officers and the military, these protestors were unarmed. These unarmed protestors were beaten and arrested right there in the street, and shots are heard to have been fired. There are videos of Cuban protestors being shot at by the police, and these are the kind of videos that the government doesn’t want you to see. A child was killed. As of right now, I know of a 13 year old child who was out there protesting, and the police murdered him right there. They don’t care who they have to hurt, they just want Cuba to be silenced. Younger children have probably also died at the hands of the police yesterday, and I wouldn’t know about it. They say that there’s a massacre happening over there right now, but I don’t know the exact number of people who’ve died.

Protestors have thrown rocks at the police, they’ve overturned police cars and dumped garbage cans on top of them. Protestors are out there, filming everything to try and get the word out, outsiders need to see what’s happening. These same people are having their phones ripped out of their hands, these same people are being dragged away by the police and being beaten and arrested right there.

Any Cuban person with any sort of influence, mainly Cuban singers, who have been seen supporting the protests have been arrested in an attempt to have the protests die out.

5 people that I know of where killed by the police in Santiago de Cuba.

Later into the night, the government shut down electricity everywhere in Cuba and most access has been cut off in an attempt to silence them from speaking out about this. As far as I know, the people continued to protest late into the night anyways.

These protests are important because Cubans have spent 62 years without nothing. There’s barely any food on the table, not enough to feed one person, much less a family. The people have been starving for 62 years. There aren’t any clothes, not nice clothes anyways, most people have been using the same clothes over and over for the last however many years because they simply can not afford to buy new clothes. There’s barely any electricity or internet access everywhere, and those who do have those privileges are now being silenced by the government. There isn’t even any medicine! So many Cubans have died because of  medical incompetency, they died because there’s no medicine. My aunt’s mother died this year because there was no medicine, because Cuban doctors didn’t have the proper tools to actually help her. Covid has been mismanaged terribly in Cuba, 6,000 cases daily, and those are the numbers that we know of, who knows how many it actually is. My aunt died in the hospital because of this. And nobody in Cuba knows much of the outside world because Cubans don’t have access to the outside world. The government controls everything in Cuba, from the press to the internet service. The only things that you can see there are the things that government wants you to see. You have no freedom of speech there. If you so much as dare to say anything bad about that government, you will be thrown in jail. They torture you in that jail. You have no freedom in Cuba. These protests are important because Cubans deserve justice. These protests are important because Cubans deserve freedom.

The world needs to see what’s happening in Cuba, do not turn a blind eye. You want to help us? This is how. Stay informed and spread information, the government wants to silence Cuba, the government doesn’t want the world to see this, so we will make the world see this. Please, stay informed.

There are the hashtags #soscuba and #cubapalacalle that you can use to spread information and stay informed. On my blog, you can use the hashtags #patria y vida and #cuba protests to see more of my posts on this. Please, spread the word in whatever way you can and do not let Cuba be silenced.

Mutals, SB this please. I’m begging you.

the utter romantic notion that the stars have a hand in our fate.

What is dark academia, if not studying late into the night on dangerous amounts of caffeine

i would rather say "i love you" too much than too little, yk? i would rather yell "i love you" across a parking lot at 8:40 pm than to quietly go home, i would rather scream at my friends that "i love you" before i turn a corner, i would rather live in a world where my friends yell "i love you" back at the top of their lungs because life is so insufferably long but its also so so so short and i just. i would rather tell my people that i love them a ridiculous amount than have them not know,

yk?

how to fall in love with life again

go cloud-gazing, lay down in the grass on a sunny day, or empty roads on a rainy day, stare up at the sky and let your mind wander.

read a book so complex that you don't understand anything, fill your arms with scrawled definitions.

writing poems and notes of kindness, hiding them for other people to find and pass along!

read passages of love in another language, untranslated and realise that love can surpass even the greatest of barriers.

find your favourite flower! hunt for it, research it, write an essay on why you love it and how much it means to you!

buy another copy of your favourite book, fill the pages with annotations and give it to a second hand shop for somebody else to experience it the way that you do.

fill a journal with moments of your life, even if you don't think they're very interesting.

listen to music whilst looking at the moon and stars, realising how beautiful life is.

visit an art gallery or a museum near you. become familiar with it, visit it until you know it inside out. make it your special place.

learn the little things about people, including yourself. find their favourite colour and why, find their music taste, their taste in books until you know them perfectly.

the small things! taking sips of warm beverages becomes the most comforting thing, closing your eyes for a moment on a bus and focusing on the lull of movement.

bake/cook your favourite treat. experiment and find the way that makes it taste simply ethereal.
