who did you want me to be

@firebrand-witch

I'll be whatever you need

acts of bravery that go underappreciated: - taking medication/seeing a professional - bringing up something that makes you anxious and talking through it - admitting you made a mistake - sending a message first - apologizing - standing up for yourself

feel free to add on!

"Hi. Thank you so much to iHeart, and thank you so much, mainly, to the fans. Tour of the Century—I really can't tell you how much this means to me, because I accept this on behalf of all my tourmates, all my fellow performers, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew. You know, this is actually the two-year anniversary of the first show of the Eras Tour, so I've been doing a lot of processing, since I've been off the road these last few months, and you know, people often say that sometimes, the greatest challenges in life end up being something you're so proud of, or end up being the most gratifying feeling in the end, if you can rise to the occasion. And this tour was absolutely the most challenging thing I've ever done in my life. It was a three-and-a-half hour show, it was more shows than I've ever done on a tour, and it really was the most gratifying thing I've ever done. I think about that tour constantly, I'm so proud of it, and the only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others—the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows, all the different countries we played in—it was all because of the fans. To the fans, you made these songs for the last couple decades into what they became so that we could do a three-and-a-half hour setlist. You had the passion adn the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour, in all these places all over the world. It blows my mind. I'm never gonna stop being grateful for it, and I appreciate this more than you know. Thank you so much for honoring this tour, and to kind of take us back, I wanted to sort of revisit the very first night of this tour, and give you an exclusive performance from the first night of the Eras Tour, two years ago.

“Was that what was so painful: that nobody had ever come so close to me — nobody had ever seen me, and come right up to me, and kept going, and looked into my eyes so seriously, with so little fear?”

— Elif Batuman, Either/Or (via quotespile)

One thing that helped me in life is like realizing that everybody else gets away with being ugly. Everybody else gets away with confronting people. Everybody else gets away with accidentally bothering people. Don’t worry about anything ever lol

i love divorce i love when people realize that they aren't a good fit for each other and get divorced about it. more people should get divorced

my least favorite thing about this website is how culturally protestant some of you are like divorce is almost always a good thing in the long-term especially when the alternative would be a miserable/abusive marriage. but instead divorce is always framed as this social and moral failing of the participants. but whateverrrr i'm always a fan of divorce i think it should be recommended more often in more circumstances and i'm not joking

Getting a divorce at like 25 was like discovering I had free will for the first time like actually this feels bad and I don't want it and I don't need to spend the rest of my life unhappy with a decision I made when I was 21 ??!!! And all I had to do was be comfortable with people having Opinions about that and not knowing what the future would hold and hire a shitty lawyer for $300 lmaooo highly recommend

the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with... and you cannot! because they live one million miles away
