There’s just something about love, and time differences, talks in person, and long distance, that aches so much like this: like when Billie Eilish said “midnight for me is 3:00 a.m. for you” or when Shawn Mendes said “I’m three hours back seems like your always six ahead” or “All it’d take is one flight and we’d be in the same time zone” or Taylor Swift said “Words, how little they mean when you’re a little too late - We wake in lonely beds, in different cities” or Lizzy McAlpine said “Someday we could be in the same city.” or Lorde said “It drives you crazy getting old. - I want 'em back, the minds we had - You’re the only friend I need, sharing beds like little kids, laugh until our ribs get tired, but that will never be enough.” Head and the Heart said “A year from now, we'll all be gone. All our friends will move away. - Been talkin' 'bout the way things change, And my family lives in a different state.” or Avery Lynch said “I wish I could remember what it feels like, to touch your skin. And what your voice sounds like in person, I know FaceTime can distort it, and I miss it. I wish I'd fall asleep with you. - I know I'm more than lucky just to have you. If you're here or not. But it's hard to comprehend the amount that I would give, To have you in my arms, just in my arms. And I'm sick of kissing you in my head. Tell me, when can it be real instead? 'Cause I would do anything to be close to you again… And it's hard being here half empty. When somewhere different is my favorite part of me.” or FINNEAS said “I was strung out in Austin for nearly a week, Anxiety like we were kids. I've been thinkin' too much and it's ruined my nights, But it's hard when it isn't, to let yourself slide - And my heart doesn't slow down when you kill the lights - I never learned to call it quits. If I could see the future, I never would believe her. - I'll wait for years, but I won't wait alone. - Can I take you out? To a concert Six months from now?”
Waking up with the bitter realization that today might as well be my last day.
every time you leave the house w some aspect of your physical appearance challenging norms but honoring yourself, you get a little firmer in your conviction that you have the right to exist and be a body however tf you want
“Any form of human creativity is a process of doing it and getting better at it…[Writers] don’t usually peak in their 20s. It’s usually quite a lot later on.”

It's so important to remember that tumblr is bad. Has been bad. And will likely remain bad for the foreseeable future. And that is vital to our survival. If Tumblr was a good website that worked, it would get turned into a corporate hellscape like every other site. It's so important that Tumblr is broken and poorly run and impossible to effectively navigate. It's all that's keeping us safe.
