hold on a second man…

showering:

pros: you get to feel clean. you get non greasy hair, non oily feeling skin, it just in general makes you feel better, more energised, refreshed.

cons: there are so many steps. oh my god are there so many steps. before getting into the shower there are steps. during the shower there are steps. and once youve gotten out of the shower? guess what!!! more fucking steps!!!!!!!! UGHHHH

"In addition to the process of mourning and self-forgiveness, another aspect of self-compassion I emphasize is in the energy that's behind whatever action we take. When I advise, "Don't do anything that isn't play!" some take me to be radical, even insane. I earnestly believe, however, that an important form of self-compassion is to make choices motivated purely by our desire to contribute to life rather than out of fear, guilt, shame, duty, or obligation. When we are conscious of the life-enriching purpose behind an action we take, when the sole energy that motivates us is simply to make life wonderful for others and ourselves, then even hard work has an element of play in it. Correspondingly, an otherwise joyful activity performed out of obligation, duty, fear, guilt, or shame will lose its joy and eventually engender resistance."

--Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD, "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life"

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time

also i know what i want. i know the risks. everything has risk. i am already living! why am i living half a life because of what YOU fear? stop talking down to transsexuals

i'd like to get to know you i'd like to take you out we'd go to the hail mary and afterwards make out. instead, im typing you a message that i know i'll never send, rewriting old excuses delete the kisses at the end. when i see you, the whole world reduces to just that room and then i remember and i'm shy that gossip's eye will look too soon and then im trapped, overthinking and yeah, probably self-doubt you tell me to get over it and to take you out but i can't, i'm too scared and here's the night bus, i have to go and the doors are closing, and you were waving and i like you, and i'll never let it show and you won't wait, and maybe i won't mind i work better on my own and now i'm home, a little bit drunk and i ask myself what if it's not meant for me? love. what if it's not meant for me? love. a few days pass since i last saw you and you've taken over my mind im retelling jokes you made that made me laugh pretending that they're mine i wanna tell the whole world about you i think that that's a sign im losing self-control and it's you, it really is, 1000 times i look at your picture and i smile how awful's that? im like a teenage girl i might as well write all over my notebook that you rock my world but you do, you really do. you've turned me upside down and that's okay, i'll let it happen 'cause i like having you around im electric, a romantic cliché yeah, they really are all true when we catch eyes at that stupid party i know exactly what to do i'll take your hand, and we will leave french exits from me and you and now im home, a little bit drunk some things don't change, and i know now me and you were meant to be in love

"you will look for themes and motifs in media that isn't worth the effort" i will look for themes and motifs in the dirt. on the ground.

This is a super cute idea and I wanted to take a crack at it, too.

prince zuko's arc is like what if you were good. what if you were passionate and loving and good down to your bones, but you were raised and indoctrinated in an abusive environment that you want so badly to be right, and good, and true, but it's not and the very values you've learned are good are actually not good, and your real goodness gets you hurt by the people who are supposed to love you. what if suffering is the only thing that can teach you because in order to be truly happy, you'd have to flip the table entirely. what if you can't do it. what if you can't bring yourself to leave. what if you believe that the only way you can be powerful, stronger than suffering itself, is to be unhappy and obedient. but then why are you so angry. what is the true reason for your obedience. are you in control, or have you simply given up control to someone who knows better? but do they know better? and does it even matter? you are sixteen and in command of an army and if you can't be good, which is to mean bad, you are worthless. you are bad at being good, but equally bad at being bad, and not once in the past 5 years have you actually remembered that you can just be.
