i realized that a lot of adults are healing their inner child and that's one of the reasons why i don't make fun of people who have "childish" hobbies. some people didn't get to have a childhood until they became adults.
The fact that Michael B Jordan played IDENTICAL TWINS…. But gave them such distinct personalities differences that people find one twin more attractive than the other…. THAT’S some good ass acting boy
Fun fact: when women are on their period, they're being flooded with testosterone. which means when men say we're emotional and hysterical on our period, it's actually because we're acting like a man.
We were in the car after a long day, both of us exhausted. He was on the phone with a friend through the speakers, and they were talking about life, work, stress… all of it.
At one point his friend joked, “Man, marriage must be tiring.”
Without even thinking, he said, “Nah. Marriage isn’t tiring. Life is tiring. My wife is the part that makes it worth it.”
I froze in the passenger seat.
He kept driving like he didn’t just shift my entire world with one sentence.
Later that night I asked him if he really meant it.
He looked at me confused and said,
“Of course. You’re not my responsibility. You’re my reward.”
And I swear, in a world where people talk about marriage like it’s a burden…
He talks about it like he won the lottery.
And that’s all the reassurance I’ll ever need.
I don’t think people realize how heavy it is to always feel like you don’t belong anywhere. Always the one left out, misunderstood, or just… there. Not hated, but not chosen either. That kind of rejection builds a wall you don’t even mean to have. It’s been like that my whole life. And yeah, I’ve learned to deal, but deep down it’s a wound that never fully heals.
I may not ever fit in or belong anywhere, & I’m learning to just be okay with that. I’ll sit by myself.
Suicidal ideation, for many, isn't about death.
It's about relief.
From shame.
From feeling overwhelmed constantly. From feeling like a fucking burden.
The goal isn't always "not wanting to be alive"
It's just not wanting to live like this.
The weird thing about reading so much as a child and gaining a huge vocabulary from that is I can't define a lot of the words I use, I just...know that they would fit correctly in a specific sentence? Does anyone else experience that?
