I Give Up. You Win.

A Tumblr because everyone keeps nagging me to have it. Mostly fluffy animals and pretty boys with the occasional political issue. AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/butterflyslinky Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/butterflyslinky

When I was younger, I wish someone had told me straight-up that not all adults experience “a calling”. That many of them never find particular purpose in a career. That sometimes, their job is just what pays the bills and they have to seek satisfaction and fulfillment elsewhere. 

Because as an adult, this pervasive notion that there exists a perfect path for everyone, that people should love what they do, and that work is meant to function as a vehicle for fulfilling a person’s grand life destiny is not only inaccurate for many of us, it can be toxic.

The ideal is so ingrained that I have to remind myself constantly I’m not a failure because I don’t adore my job, and because I’m not rocking the world with my work. That is okay

Sometimes, work is just work. There isn’t always a perfect career path, magically waiting to be discovered. There might not be this THING you were born to do. Sometimes, you discover that what you really want to be when you grow up is “paid”.

chuck when he has to resurrect the angel of thursday from the dead AGAIN because his beloved all american macho protagonist is refusing to be the hero without him around and is instead drowning in grief (ie. drinking himself into a stupor while hiding in his room and it's neither hot nor productive):

it is important to me that we all understand that Cas is the sexy popular jock of TFW. he's athletic and a little bit mysterious and kind of a dick but like in an endearing, oblivious way and everyone is sooooooo obsessed with him. Dean meanwhile enjoys LARPing and doing recreational electrical engineering projects in his spare time.

(Sam is in the corner collecting serial killer facts and hanging around the theater kids btw)
