Wjen I Graduate And They Strip Me Of My Free Database Access Im Literally Going To Walk Into The Ocean

really wish i could be normal about any piece of media i enjoy and not terribly parasocial and utterly consumed by it to the point that i feel it in my dna

i see my future and it is bright (a lavender marriage with my best friend, our two cats, regularly hosting book club and game nights with our queer friends and being the go-to hang out home for our kids and their friends)

just watched one of the early bottoms showings and i cannot emphasize how madly i am in love with every single one of ruby cruz’s characters

love is stored in watching your friends spotify listening activity and knowing you are all experiencing music together <3

losing my MIND

casting a person of color as annabeth is such a POWER MOVE that single-handedly made it so much better than the movies. i am not wrong.

babygirl i can romanticize toxic behaviors you can't even imagine

there’s a misconception that grief only happens when we lose people. this is not true. we can grieve circumstances, relationships, missed opportunities. in fact, sometimes when you find yourself plagued with waves of emotion from sadness to melancholy you may be grieving yourself. the version of yourself that you might have been if things had been different, or if only you had said something, or if someone had stood up for you.
