Falling out of love doesn’t happen in one moment. It doesn’t happen in one day and there isn’t one specific time that you realize you are out of love. Falling out of love happens in days, it happens in weeks even months, little by little there are sparks that seem to fade. You forget to kiss him back when you wake up in the morning and the taste of his lips just doesn’t quite feel the same. You don’t say I love you in the tone you used to and you get tired of his coffee breath that used to make you smile. Inside Jokes become words that don’t have a meaning anymore. The butterfly you had in your stomach got set free and you can’t just capture him back. You see it’s so much harder than that, the fire that used to burn in your heart gets let out. You start to question what you ever saw or if you ever were ‘in’ love and I promise you were. Falling out of love is one of the scariest things that you will ever encounter because it just h a p p e n s you have no control, your heart starts to beat a different rhythm than his and you beg to get the music back again. But once it’s gone, it’s gone. I think the worst part about falling out of love is thinking it didn’t happen in one moment, it happened in a period of time but you were too busy focusing on getting a fire you forgot the matches.

- preparing a fire

One day you’re going to wake up and realize you don’t feel the same way anymore. It’s like every single butterfly in you’re stomach has died and there’s no way you can resurrect it. Not another kiss or a hug or even the simple way of saying I love you. It’s just that you don’t feel it anymore. In his eyes, you search for the answer but there is none. You look for the feeling again, in his kisses, maybe somewhere beneath his words, but again there is none. Everywhere, you search and you find nothing. Emptiness. A sudden void in your heart. Even in your memories, he has never looked lesser magnificent and wonderful and breath-taking until this moment. And then it hit you. Suddenly you can un-love a person; or maybe love a person less. You don’t want to hurt his feelings because he loved you, he loves you and this is what he gets for loving you. And then you realize you’re stuck in this labyrinth with horrifying twists and turns, and even when you desperately look for a way out, there just isn’t one. And it’s suffocating. Really. 

Falling out of love. It’s painful to know that I don’t see you the same anymore. Those butterflies you used to give me, have flown away. It’s breaking me, to break your heart. However, the worst thing I could do is keep you in love with someone who doesn’t feel the same. I must let you go because you deserve someone who is sure about you and unfortunately, that cannot be me.

Falling out of love taught me eight things-

1. It is surprisingly easy to stop loving someone, no matter how magnificent you once felt together.

2. There will come a time when you have to decide whether or not you can fix whatever went wrong; that decision will haunt you, no matter which way you go.

3. Even if you are no longer in love with someone, you can still care about them and watching them crumble because of you is still something terrible to witness.

4. There will be times when you doubt your feelings (do not tell them unless you are certain- it will only hurt you both).

5. People will ask you what happened and there is no easy way of explaining that you just could not be in love with them anymore.

6. Hearing about them dating someone else is still weird if only because of a leftover imprint of your name beside their’s.

7. You now understand what it feels like to fall out of love and that is something utterly terrifying when contemplated for too long.

8. It will surprise you how long it will take for you to love someone after this; the fear of them leaving you never really resides.

Reasons Why Sims Society is Better than Ours

1. Sex is ALWAYS consensual. You can not WooHoo with anyone if they are not 100% into it too. 

2.You can love WHOEVER you want, same sex, opposite sex, aliens, robots, werewolves, ghosts, politicians with no judgement from your neighbors. 

3. Men and Women get paid the SAME amount for the same damn job. Equal fucking rights. 

4. Free health care.

5. It takes less than a minute for police and firefighters to reach any house once dispatched. 

6. If  child is being neglected or abused, a social worker automatically finds out and takes the child away from an unhealthy environment. 

7. Adopting a child is free, easy, and known abusers of children can’t adopt. 98% of Sim orphans find a loving home before they reach their teen years. 

8. Racism is just not a thing. 

9. Universities have free tuition; the only cost is how much it is to live on campus. 

10. The motherlode cheat. 

Okay maybe I'm grasping at nothing, but hear me out:

We all know Peter has spidey senses. He used them to defeat Mysterio in Far From Home.

But we see Peter struggling with them all throughout the movie:

(Peter not sensing the banana)

(Peter not sensing Nick Fury in the room)

(Peter not sensing everything around him in the pub was an illusion)

(Finally, Peter not being able to decide whether Happy is real or fake)

Now here we wonder, why is that happening?

Take into account the events of Infinity War. When Thanos snapped his fingers, unlike others, Peter could sense his death coming, that's why he fell into Tony's arms saying, “Mr Stark I don't feel so good”. Imagine such a terrible thing happening to you, feeling the pain everywhere yet not being able to fix it. This could and HAS led to post traumatic stress in Peter. PTSD leads to changes in the body and impotence is one of them. Also the added trauma of his mentor dying? Anyone's mind could've become fucked up after that.

“Okay, so where are you going with this?” you must be thinking.

Well, what if Peter sensed something was unnatural about the water monster (other than the fact it was a monster made up of water, of course) so he shot something at it, just because? But he turned out to be “wrong” because it went right through the drones. He was right about it, but he didn't know then.

Wrongly sensing something so big like that would have created some serious self doubt in Peter.

That's why he must have discarded every tingle in his skin that sensed the illusions around Mysterio in the pub. That's why he must have ignored the possibility of someone being in his and Ned's room. That's why he asked Happy if he was real when he got off the plane.

It's because he was doubting himself and the very abilities that made him Spiderman.

Peter wasn't dumb. He was right about shooting a web at the water monster.

i just found out merriam webster has a time traveler feature that tells you some of the words that were “born” the same year as you. it’s pretty neat yall should do this

people will say they aren’t attractive and then go create art and then go write beautiful poetry and then go bake a cake for a friend and then go spread positivity and then go write a novel and then continue to say they aren’t attractive, as if everything they do doesn’t count or doesn’t matter, as if societal expectations somehow decide their worth and fate.

Why do the young poets  all write about Persephone? 

                               Maybe it’s because                                we can relate. 

To a goddess?

                               To being half                                sunshine                                and half                                grave. 

i want a “wanna go watch the sunset?” kind of love. a “just one more minute, one more touch, one more kiss” kind of love. a “mario kart after dinner, loser does the dishes” kind of love. an “i can’t sleep, wanna go for a drive?” kind of love. a goofy and cliche and almost too good to be true kind of love. that’s what i want.

ONE STRAW TO END THEM ALL 💪

Americans use 500 million straws every single day with the majority of those ending up in our landfills and oceans. Here at Save The Turtles, we created a simple and effective method of reducing our reliance on plastic with our Collapsible Straw. 

While the push continues to change how big restaurant chains and corporations operate, we must be the change we want to see. Without grassroots movements like this, companies would continue to operate under the premise that our oceans don’t matter. Make a small difference in your community by getting a reusable straw. 

Here at Save The Turtles, our ultimate goal is to keep our oceans clean. In our pursuit to achieve this, beyond offering our reusable straws, we donate 5% of our profits to Sea Turtle Conservancy. 

While straws are just the beginning, our team is hard at work designing more eco-friendly, reusable products to continue the push towards a plastic-free ocean.
