Why Aren't Cuddle Hookups A Thing? I Just Want Someone To Drop Everything At Midnight To Come And Hold

"And I don't even care if it's just a summer fling" (lies) "if it's all experimental and you go back to safer things" (more lies) "but i swore hand were made for fighting, i swore eyes were made to cry, but you're the first person that I've seen who's proven that might be a lieeeee" ( truth) "so don't leave me hanging" (a threat)

8 February, 1936 Letters to Véra by Vladimir Nabokov

I was watching Spiderman: far from home the other day. When Mysterio told Peter "you're not selfish for wanting a normal life" I almost started bawling my eyes out.

One thing I noticed is how Iron man brings out the worst in many people. There were multiple times when someone wanted to present him with something that they thought could change the world, and instead of trying to make the best of it, he ended up being dismissive or completely ignoring them, resulting in a traumatic event that triggers the worst aspects of their personality to come forth. Now ofc I'm not excusing their own bad choices, but I thought it was interesting how it seems like Iron man has inadvertently sabotaged Peter in several ways.

Mysterio could have been the perfect mentor for Peter. But he chose to be a terrible person. And that just makes me so sad.

Even still, a broken clock is right twice a day. And that speech "you're not selfish for wanting a normal life" means alot to me.

*La vie en rose plays in the background while I write a letter to my younger self about how being a teen didn't unalive me, and how I've discovered so many beautiful things to love about myself and the world. How I'm so grateful to little me for not giving up despite the hurt. How I met so many beautiful people, and how it did matter. I matter. In the letter I make sure to promise my future self that my teen years won't be the best years of my life bc life is what you make it, and for me this is all just the beginning. *

Imagine wearing a dress the color of these flowers and running through a cathedral

A genuine question: is it possible to have a crush on a song?? Like not actually having a crush on the song itself, but getting butterflies when you hear it bc the song just has "crush energy" and you find yourself longing to feel the feeling that's in the song??

I am a summer child and all I feel is most definitely not mild *screams elegantly*

Life is a gift. Don't slap away her outstretched hand. Show that you are grateful by being kind and gentle.

Why so often must

"deserving"

be used as a cudgel we wield, blunt and unwieldy, against our own hearts?

No one "deserves" anything --

The world just is, and things just are.

If it is offered and you wish for it? Take.

If you desire to give it, then offer it without fear --

You are valid simply for being --

Worthy of being seen as who you are --

Maybe it's alright to reach out for the things that you desire,

without forcing your way into guilt for things you have not done and have not yet happened --

Maybe it's alright to just be.

We should just let ourselves fall in love with life.

i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here
