Sun Bleached Flies — Ethel Cain

guys the lack of urgency i have is going to kill me.. i have a test i need to study for but im scrolling on tumblr because i could care less rn

i absolutely love when i know my friends extremely well and i tell/show/send/give them something that reflects that i know them extremely well and they say “wow! i love this thing!” and you get say i know, i know you extremely well :)

to be known is to be loved but also to know is to love!!!

just saw the cutest little lesbian couple and smiled, god when will it be my turn ???

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
