Students,
If you're wearing the same sweats over and over and eating badly and drinking too much caffeine, you're not a depressed student.
You're just stuck in the second half of The Secret History.
“you’re so pretty,” okay write poetry about me then.
Tumblr is just mentally ill people quoting dead mentally ill people.
One of them.
This close 🤏 to walking into a mysterious fog and never coming back
It's always 'I love you' and never "kora kagaz tha yeh mann mera, likh liya naam ispe tera".
[Translation: My heart was a blank paper, but I wrote your name on it.]
That best feeling where you’re like, “I love books. I wanna read all the books. I just wanna spend all my time immersed in all of the books.” And then you inhale and just get that feeling of peace and anticipation and slight anxiety but it’s okay, because you love the books and no one can take that away from you.
yeah yeah yeah girlhood is grief and godhood and cruelty or whatever but also girlhood is your friend telling you what sex is because nobody else will, girlhood is walking you to the nurse’s office when you’re too nervous to go on your own, girlhood is the journal you kept together and hid under your mattress, girlhood is going downtown for the first time by yourselves and sneaking into the PG-13 movie and then going next door to eat french fries, girlhood is coordinating outfits to let everyone know that you’re best friends because girlhood can be love as well
"Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not."
