i wish i were a tiny mouse tucked up in a tiny bed under a tiny patchwork quilt in a burrow under a tree. no responsibilities except making raindrop wine and rose jam and making sure i sweep the little doorstep every morning
Dear god, sleepy intimacy makes me so very happy.
One person sleeping with their head on the other person’s lap. Getting all drowsy-snuggly when they’re too tired to see straight. Being tucked in and kissed on the forehead before they pass out. Gentle touches while they drift off. Trusting the other person to watch over them and make sure nothing happens to them while they’re out.
Just… sleepy intimacy, man.
sometimes i forget how many times i’ve picked myself off the floor, how many times i’ve washed away smudgy makeup and put myself to bed. how many times i’ve said no to something unhealthy. said yes to something good. how many times i’ve treated myself with kindness and patience. i forget how many times i’ve tended to wounds and made peace with my own anger. if i was taking care of a body that was not my own, i’d believe i was doing everything i could. so here’s to remembering that i’m doing the best i can.
The goal is to laugh forever with someone you take seriously.
we need to be taught disability history in school because it is 2019, i am 20 years old, and i am only now learning that the National Association of the Deaf had to take Netflix to court in 2012 in order for closed captioning to be required on streaming sites (source). any amount of accessibility in our lives has been fought for, and those stories need to be told.
“And,“ she said, “if you have someone who stays up with you in the middle of the night to make sure you’re okay - somebody who answers your calls at 2 or 3 or 4am - someone who listens to your sobs, or your silence, or your words with patience, you have somebody who loves you. And you’re lucky for it. And no matter how dark things get, you shouldn’t forget that.”

i know people always insist that if an actor changes their hairstyle or appearance or whatever halfway through filming a show then the show should give a legitimate in universe explanation for it but honestly thats nonsense like the funniest thing parks and rec has ever done was that bit in s6 where andy “goes to london” for 6 months and magically comes back with a six pack and blond highlights and the only explanation he gives is “I stopped drinking beer”
“Watching the river freeze, I imagine what happens underneath. Ice begins on banks, constricting flow to middle, bends water in new ways. I imagine this is how an artery clogs, or pipe corrodes, calcifying from outside in. Snow falls and the river grows a crust of ice, refusing witness. Life moves beneath. Begins translucent, then clouds. Thick flap of owl wing. Difficult to trust that which is less visible, honor the work that must be done out of sight.”

Sex is great but have you ever fell asleep holding the love of your life?
No thanks for reminding me

crazy how we as humans just like. wanna touch each other and watch people from afar and love them…..and we wanna be loved back and we will give things up for that feeling and for certain people because we LOVE them. and hearts have so much empty space to fill up with good things and warmth and it’s so easy and so hard
