idk who needs to hear this today, but don't go lurking on ex friends and partners. nothing you see or read will make you feel better there. all you're doing is hurting your own feelings. leave them in the past and do your best to move on with your own life, to make what you have now happier rather than dwelling on things that used to be (:
Being a goofy lil' goober, a strange fellow, is a very weird experience if you think about it. 'Cause like, even if you know you're weird, it just kinda doesn't register with you most of the time. You do things that are just like "yeah, that's about right, checks out" to you, but would seem like a sign of total derangement to other people
you can love someone so much platonically that it feels like you’re gonna die. platonic feelings can be just as intense as romantic ones, and that doesn’t make them any less platonic.
STARING AT UNFAMILIAR CEILINGS AND I SHOULD LEAVE CAUSE EVERYBODY HERE IS TRIPPING SOME NEW DRUG EXCEPT FOR ME… CAUSE I DON’T HAVE THE MONEY.
sexual activity
how you dress
stealing my food

my cat likes you more than me
no no see, domesticity IS hot. how intimate it is to make food with someone, to share a bed, to brush your teeth at the same sink, to shower and use the same towels and the same laundry soap, to grocery shop and hold hands through the aisles, to be cornered in the kitchen to make out while a pot of pasta boils over on the stove. to fall asleep and hear them snoring softly and laugh at the little trail of drool out of the corner of their mouth. to spend money together and share chores and pick on each other for your weird habits. it's not always perfect and beautiful, but it's comfortable and familiar and I just think it's neat.
“I hope you all find yourselves sleeping with someone you love, maybe not all of the time, but a lot of the time. The touch of a foot in the night is sincere. I hope you like your work, I hope there’s mystery and poetry in your life — not even poems, but patterns. I hope you can see them. Often these patterns will wake you up, and you will know that you are alive, again and again.”

“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”
