"likes mean nothing on tumblr" you're sending me a little heart. that's not nothing it's your heart. look here's one for you <3

Im not ok. I’ve been crying in front of the mirror for the last hour.

What am I doing? I’m an adult, why am I still hiding?

My dad told me I need to stop “for now” after he noticed I had makeup on. I didn’t stop I just got better at hiding it.

The others in church continue to throw transphobia around like it’s tennis, not understanding that I’m in the stands.

Im NOT a creep, im NOT a pervert, im NOT a faker. I just want BREATH for the first time in my life.

College can’t come soon enough. I can’t stay here, I’m not safe, I’m not healthy.

Tumblr is my void that I shout at, cry tears into, and hug out of desperation. Every once in a while, it hugs back; I know I’m not alone.

I am so proud.

My mother, in her mid-50s, just came out as aromantic. She never knew there was a word for what she felt. She asked if this means she's "part of the LGBT now", and I got to happily inform her that there are more letters now, and Aces and Aros are absolutely a part of our community.

It's so important to remember that there are people in generations before us who still don't know themselves, and self-discovery is for any age. They should know they have a community. I am so proud of new, older queers!

The more despair I endure in life, the more I love Frodo. I'm just. I'm so glad that Tolkien wrote him like that. He was a hero and it broke him. He was given too much to carry. The circumstances were dire, everyone was doing the best they could, and Frodo tried so hard, for such a good cause, and he...broke. And the narrative has pity for him, the characters show him kindness. Even after victory, his hurts did not heal, and it isn't considered his fault. He must go to the undying lands, to seek out peace there. In universe, he is forgiven for being human - don't be pedantic - and his great torment is recognized. He fell. He could not have done it alone. He is still a hero.

And, I think that's important.

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌙🌛🌜🌝🌚

In the woods, where shadows dance,

The moon, a silver crescent, enchants.

Through branches, its soft glow weaves,

A celestial ballet among leaves.

Whispers of night echo through trees,

Moonlight reveals nature's mysteries.

Silent steps on a path unseen,

A lunar serenade, tranquil and serene.

The forest, a canvas of silver and green,

Moonbeams weave a nocturnal sheen.

A celestial waltz, a woodland tune,

In the quiet embrace of the enchanted moon.

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔
