Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do
This
there are more tweets in this thread
fucking SLAY
this isnt even the full thread, there are even MORE tweets to this thread that i think are really necessary to read if you do what op is talking about! it is not enough to know that feeling this way hurts the people you love, we already know that.
this rest of the thread continues after the third tweet from the reblog.
like THE FULL THREAD is genuinely so reassuring.
sometimes, it is not enough to just know, sometimes you might need that reassurance of “do you really think of me when i’m away?” and someone reassuring you that yeah, they do. and evaluate that! trust that! just like op did.
and then learning that ykw, it’s NOT any of my business really. and finding comfort in that trust that like. whether they are or aren’t thinking of me, they really do love me.
this full thread changed my life and i am ALWAYS going to give the full thread because the parts people cut out aren’t enough for the people experiencing these things, speaking as someone who does. it, really it just makes us, made me, feel bad about my own capabilities when i saw the unfinished thread.
Watching the UK results roll in and seeing the voter turnout and just how many votes the Reform party is getting like:
ALT
Jesus Christ.
THANK YOU. This is legit giving me fits bc sure, they only got 4 seats, blah blah, but if you look at the actual breakdown of voters, they’re literally the third highest voting bloc:
And if you look at the vote tallies of individual constituencies, especially ones that flipped CON>LAB, you repeatedly see where it’s obvious that if there hadn’t been a schism between the Tories and Reform, Labour wouldn’t have even remotely had the votes to succeed. Examples:
Everyone celebrating Labour sweeping really needs to analyze this for what it actually is and plan/act accordingly before the pendulum swings back again!! The evil hasn’t been defeated by a long shot!!
Christ, I hadn’t seen the final numbers yet. 4 million people voted for the fascist party. I’m not even being hyperbolic. The Reform party ran on the platform that the Tories/Cons were too liberal.
literally no better feeling than blurting out some loud dumbass joke with your buddies and hearing a total stranger ugly-snort-laugh as they walk past bc their own laughter caught them by surprise. find joy and connection in the spontaneity of strangers you son of a bitch. i fucking got your ass
This is what it’s like when I say the dumbest things imaginable to my wife or partner in the checkout lines to see if the cashier will crack a smile. A little human connection between the drudgery.
A few years ago when my little sister was maybe ten or so we went to this like, novelty/antiques store which had an impressive amount of really bad taxidermy. We were sort of doing our own things and I was across the room from her so when she spots this horrible fish she has to run over and yell “ come see the ugliest taxidermied old fish I’ve ever seen “ at me. Without even thinking I just said “you’re the ugliest taxidermied old fish I’ve ever seen.” Which got a snort from an old man across the room. Anyways a few minutes later my stepmom came in and my sister said the same thing to her, and without missing a beat my stepmom deadpans “your father’s the ugliest taxidermied old fish I’ve ever seen”. The old guy absolutely LOST it
And the real trick to it is falling madly in love with literally everything. Gomez Addams isn’t just madly in love with Morticia, he’s madly in love with his house, with his train set, with his kids, with his brother, with his weird normie neighbors, with literally everything. Different kinds of love for each, but love all the same. For having such morbid tastes, Gomez is madly in love with life. THAT’S how you land a Morticia, by being unapologetically and madly in love with everything around you.
Bitches love me for my passionate swag and my unrelenting appreciate for the zest of life
I often see people ask how to get started with doing this, because it seems like a daunting task to be in love with everything, when you are starting off in love with nothing, or very few things perhaps. But the answer isn’t grand or elaborate or secret. The answer is to pick something, and choose love.
And then do it again, and again, and again.
The act of being in love is just choosing love over and over.
The act of being
in love is just choosing love
over and over.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
The act of being in love is just choosing love over and over
I wish I had the entertaining ADHD that people think people with ADHD have and not the catastrophically fucking bad with deadlines ADHD that makes me scream internally while doing nothing
