warm orange windows and blue night in the background save me. save me warm orange windows and blue night

the idealized version of my tomorrow self will fix this

not again

sometimes it’s better refrain from deep introspection and allow yourself to just be.

and by that I mean: I don’t have to sit with myself and overthink and analyze and rationalize every ounce of my being. I am not a case study I am a person. faults and all. like any other person. sometimes I have to look at my mistakes and avoid self flagellation. sigh and learn what I can and move on. remember that I am living, and this is part of the process. free myself of that inner critic. allow myself to be, and try again.

[Video transcript:] Person angrily yelling: “–fucking computers bullshit. It’s fucking sick! It’s not cool anymore! It’s not fun! It’s not fun to be on the fucking computer! They changed everything about it! It used to be so coooool!”

quick question: how the fuck do I get through the rest of my life like this

Where it Begins, Erica Jong 

[ID: The corruption begins with the mouth, / the tongue, the wanting. / The first poem in the world / is I want to eat.]

sometimes the moral of the story really is just "you cannot go back and what happened to you is going to be with you for the rest of your life. but it's still going to be okay" huh

yall mind if i preemptively grieve what i still have yet to lose

i have poetry in me but mostly it rolls around in me like a marble at the bottom of a glass

lets out a single agonized bloodcurdling scream but doesnt elaborate on why and just walks it off

A lot of people on this website make great points that could be phrased a lot less condescendingly

I just think we shouldn’t hurt people on purpose and every single day I grapple with how upsetting and angering that idea is to people. 

People will say things like “if you think we shouldn’t hurt people on purpose that’s disrespectful and deliberately callous toward those who have been hurt on purpose already” and I have yet to find language to express the magnitude of how much that’s not true. We shouldn’t hurt people on purpose. Punishment is nothing. Cruelty is just cruelty and it just makes the world we live in a crueler world.
