I can’t ever leave tumblr because I just love the tag function.. no other social media platform allows you to heckle yourself on your own post. you get to preemptively make metatextual commentary abt your OWN POST. how cool is that

reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a fucking break
The lack of sound is… unsettling. It forces you to take in the absolute chaos for what it is.
I am, like, a long running proponent of the "eat something and you'll feel better" crowd and am often one of the first people to suggest "maybe it's time for a snack before I get whipped into a frenzy" but I really do resent how instantaneous it is. like it'll feel like I'm having my worst day in months and then I'll start eating and literally before I even finish I'm like oh yeah the world is beautiful

Vienna here refers to the song by Billy Joel. When he was young, his parents divorced and his father—originally from Germany—left him behind to grow up with his mother.
He eventually reunited with his father on his first European tour, in Vienna.
He was young and feeling desperate to achieve everything he wanted before he grew old, but then he started to notice that elderly people seemed to have more of a place in daily life in Austria than they do in America. He saw them out and about more, socializing, working, enjoying life.
He later said in an interview,
“I realized they [Europeans] don’t throw old people away like we tend to do here in the States. They allow for people who are aged to have a useful place in the scheme of things, and I thought, ‘ya know that’s a good metaphor for someone my age to consider.’ You don’t have to squeeze your whole life into your 20s and 30s trying to make it, trying to achieve that American dream, getting in the rat race, and killing yourself. You have a whole life to live. I kind of used ‘Vienna’ as a metaphor, there is a reason for being old, a purpose.”
It’s a song about relaxing about growing old and taking life as it comes. That some of the things you want can wait, and other things you want might never happen, and that’s all okay.
I don’t mean to be rude but I need someone to gingerly cup their hands around my face and convince me I can handle everything
There’s power in telling yourself ”no we don’t do that anymore” in response to self destructive urges.
not to be insensitive but some of the salem witch trials were so funny bitches like “i saw her at the devils sacrament!!!” girl… what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament 👀
