and in the next fifty years, you will ache and you will glow. you will fall in love with people who don’t stay and still carry their names like pressed flowers in the folds of your memory. you will eat meals alone and meals with people who make you laugh so hard you forget the sting of silence. there will be mornings you can’t get out of bed and nights where you walk home humming under a sky so wide it forgives you. you’ll cry in public and smile at strangers and sometimes it’ll be the same thing. you’ll hear a song that reminds you of someone you promised you’d never forget and you’ll realize you already have, a little. you’ll outgrow versions of yourself you once thought permanent and mourn them like old friends and still you will keep going. you’ll see sunsets that make your chest tighten. you’ll be held when you least expect it. you’ll feel the cold on your face and remember what it means to be alive. and it won’t always be gentle but it will be yours.

btw if you’re fat and your partner doesn’t love you wholeheartedly, if they’re attracted to you β€œdespite” your body, if they avoid touching you, if they look away from certain parts of you, you’re allowed to break up with that person. look at me. you can do better. you are not unloveable and you don’t have to settle i fucking promise.

this post keeps coming back up in my activity and i just came back from a pretty long trip with my polycule and above all the fun posts i could make about the kinky shenanigans we got up to i need to double down on this one. love is out there and it is enthusiastic and kind and understanding and you are worth it. never back down never give up never kill yourself. that thin person who people say you’re β€œlucky to have” is not better than you. you’re not damaged goods.

They recorded tinnitus? It's a physical thing?????

Transcript:

The most mind-blowing moment, not only for De La Mata but the scientists too, came when they managed to actually record the sounds that she heard in her ears – which now appear as β€˜Left Ear’ and β€˜Right Ear’ which begin sides A and B on the album – and in doing so opened up questions about the nature of tinnitus itself. β€œThe NHS definition is that it’s a phantom sound that your brain is creating, that it isn’t something β€˜real’, so you should try to ignore it.” By having De La Mata place her ear into an anechoic chamber, with an ultra-sensitive microphone perched in her ear canal, they were able to provide significant evidence to the contrary. β€œAfter the first recording of it, it was β€˜There’s no way, this isn’t possible.’” They tried again with her breath held, and again with her tensing her ears, and again with other members of staff, but each time it became apparent that yes, the noises De La Mata hears are seemingly something physical.

HOLY SHIT THAT'S WHAT I HEAR ALL DAY

It is not possible to think your way out of an interpersonal conflict or ambiguous social situation. The information that you require in order to move forward dwells inside of another person, and you literally cannot figure that out yourself, no matter how good at perception, pattern matching, fawning, making up scenarios in your head, preparing, or minimizing your feelings you are.

i hate to admit this but i think if i were in a bad mood and spongebob were around i wouldnt be able to navigate that situation with the patience or grace it demands. and i worry he would blame himself
