Don't allow others to consume you. If they don't call, go to sleep. If they don't message you, put away your phone & have a good day. If they are distant and refuse to tell you what's wrong, go home and do something fun. You live for yourself first. They are secondary.

Just because we aren't seeing more posts about Palestine, doesn't mean the genocide has stopped. Let's keep Praying and speaking up for Gaza, Palestine.
i am not immune to stories in which characters who have endured harsh, empty existences become absolutely transformed by someone’s sincere love for them and learn to live
can i be honest im 100% for the fact that like the tradwife stay at home mom thing is really fucked culturally but also like i think we as a society have to figure this shit out because a child needs the equivalent (if not more) of a full time job's worth of work from an adult who (for the health of the child and for the ethics of the situation honestly) needs to be able to function in a way that isn't making the adult miserable because being raised by miserable adults has really tangible negative impacts on children. whether its community childcare so that simply more adults can be involved in the situation or much more robust social aid towards young families. like this might he stupidly idealistic but i think really the root of a lot of issues in society come from the fact that people refuse to understand the gravity of like. parenthood. its an insane responsibility. i think it should be treated as such
being in your twenties is like experiencing being jesse pinkman for a whole decade
I pray every book girl finds the type of love she reads about
people will go on and on about creating strong community and prioritizing friendship, but will absolutely refuse to have even a mildly uncomfortable conversation with a longtime friend or family member. like. listen. i might be an argumentative asshole sometimes, but at least i've never given anybody the silent treatment. at least if i don't like you or want you in my life, you know about it.
and by the way of course this isn't referring to situations of abuse where you have to slip away in the night for your safety. i know if this post gets out of containment that'll be the first comment lmao.
and also i am saying all this as someone who hasn't called my dad in 4 years (and he knows why). like, by all means, be around who you wanna be around, but if you can't have any difficult conversations with your fellow human beings, even those relationships you want will start to splinter.
and also, i can't stress this point enough: avoidance to the point of total radio silence is not neutral! that's not peace! that's not a consequence-free act. that's a deeply painful and unhealthy and fucked up thing to do, especially to a person you aren't actively trying to hurt. that is so much worse than even an argument. figure ur shit out.
the worst thing that could possibly happen to ao3 is it being put on the app store so please stop asking for it because you don't understand what would happen if that went through. ao3's whole deal is it archives EVERYTHING, while the apple app store's whole deal is keeping everything clean and safe. so if ao3 were to have an app all of the 'bad' stuff, including nsfw in general, would have to be censored at best or would be purged at worse. the google play store is more lax but who fucking knows what GOOGLE would police if they got their hands on the archive. do not ask for an app. do not use third party apps. it's on mobile browser functioning perfectly, just fucking use that before you ruin everything for everyone please.
