We must leave evidence. Evidence that we were here, that we existed, that we survived and loved and ached. Evidence of the wholeness we never felt and the immense sense of fullness we gave to each other. Evidence of who we were, who we thought we were, who we never should have been. Evidence for each other that there are other ways to live—past survival; past isolation.

I see a lot of older women #onhere say things like “ohhh god I’m so old” or “what am I doing on this website still” but listen to me: you are like the older sisters I never had. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being a living, breathing, blogging reminder that we can keep surviving and growing and we get to still be silly and thoughtful and alive. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine having a future, so thank you for reminding me. I love getting to see women living at 27 and 33 and 45. Even if you just post selfies! Even if you’re sad a lot! Thank you! Older women have taught me everything worth knowing. Thank you for being around.
“Living at 27”

Vampire writers really are not tapping into true potential. Why whine for eternity about their lost humanity or fall in love with a mortal teenager when vampires could like walk to space or some shit
Vampires who finally get all the dead bodies off Mount Everest so they can be buried.
Vampire policemen who can easily walk into danger and rescue others, wearing bullet and stab wounds as badges of honor. Some kid they saved started giving them corks to “plug” the holes, and it’s become a trend, kids decorating plugs to give to their local policemen for the vampire department.
Vampire scientists who can work 24/7 when a new epidemic shows up, or when working in forensics, and then just take a few years off.
Vampire scientists who can research radiation and just get a laptop with internet and wait the few hundred years until they’re safe to be around again, watching tv shows and reading all the books they want to, because yeah, it gets lonely, but they’ll have centuries after to make up for it.
Or maybe they’d be doing it in groups so they don’t end up lonely. Earning their money for the downtime by making it a realityshow. Who needs Big Brother? We got a pile of vampires who have to live together for decades, that’s gonna be drama! If you donate blood this month, you get to choose a challenge for them!
Vampires, guys, Vampires.
I am 100000000000% here for this.
