Hey Students, Here’s A Pro Tip: Do Not Write An Email To Your Prof While You’re Seriously Sick.

Being an awkward romantic like:

If you don't confess your love to me in the pouring rain where the water runs down your face like tears and your hair is messed up in the sexy way and you're avoiding eye contact out of fear of rejection and my makeup is miraculously perfect after saving me from my loveless abusive relationship when you've been watching me be with that person for three years seven months and six days while pining for me all that time then what are you even doing besides wasting my time and yours

BUT

if you say anything even remotely sappy to me besides telling me that my outfit is hot or try to make me hold eye contact with you while you satisfy my soul deep need for validation I will hit you in the ballsack with a chair calculated by the force of my embarrassment and rage condensed into the state of a collapsing neutron star in the vacuum of deep space so don't even fucking try me

...Random stranger on tumblr, I literally love you. (Not in a weird way lmao)

Just did a google form for a new therapist's office, and one question was about addictions. Was very disappointed to discover that books, webtoon, and bluey were NOT options.

If your theme doesn’t scare you a little, it’s not deep enough.

Look, surface-level themes are cute and all “love conquers all,” “good always wins,” “believe in yourself”...but they don’t hit the jugular. The best themes crack you open. They dig into the uncomfortable, unresolved questions you’ve been avoiding. 

Why do we stay loyal to people who hurt us?

Is forgiveness selfish or selfless?

What does it mean to feel safe in your own skin?

If you’re writing something that makes you squirm a little, like something you wouldn’t casually bring up at brunch—that’s probably the real story you need to tell. And that’s also the story your readers need to hear. Vulnerability isn't a weakness; it's the damn foundation.

writing is 10% inspiration, 90% googling synonyms for ‘said'

AND THEY’RE FUCKING CORRECT

Well. There are two ways to take this... 😳💀

"Don't rile me up or you'd be regretting those words soon enough"
