You’ve never met interesting women because you don’t attract them

I’m actually in favor of less teenagers on the road

Yet another friend with a child turning 16 next week. Hasn’t gotten a learner’s permit. Zero interest in a driver’s license. I keep hearing this same story.

What’s WRONG with these kids?!?! On my 16th birthday, my mom took me out of school to take my driving test. Same for everyone I knew.

Even if you couldn’t afford your own car, you could beg the use of the family station wagon occasionally. Freedom. Independence. Heck, privacy on a date! Are these kids giving all that up for scrolling TikTok and an occasional Uber?

I wish not to participate in society but rather frolic in the forest instead

Turns out cutting off people who secretly hate you does wonders for your mental health.

@ObservAstrology the woman who’s been my closest friend for 27 years has her rising in my 12H

and the woman who betrayed me the deepest that still hurts 10 years later, also has her rising in my 12H

12H synastry is very unique

Female friendships can become an incredibly complex dance of manipulation, gaslighting, people-pleasing, love, care, selfishness, selflessness, jealousy, envy, and competition.

There is often immense tenderness there, but also an entire subterranean social game operating beneath the surface.

If you are good at managing these dynamics, regulating your reactions, reading subtext, and still participating in the game while remaining human, you will probably have a decent number of close female friendships. But even a little social awkwardness, emotional transparency, or inability to tolerate masked behaviour can make female friendships extremely difficult to navigate.

Your friends can slowly become your bullies, and it takes an enormous amount of emotional labour to keep moving through those dynamics when you do not naturally possess the social machinery required for them. You begin noticing the injustice, indirectness, performative sweetness, hidden hostility, constant testing, and you cannot keep pretending it is normal.

That is why some women do not have many female friends. It is not always because they are jealous, male-centred, or a “red flag.” Sometimes they simply cannot metabolise the amount of social theatre, disguised aggression, and psychological negotiation required to survive certain female circles.

The amount of mindspace you have to pay to remain inside such relationships can be enormous.

for centuries literature was obsessed with loves that consumed people whole. now everyone wants healthy relationships. whatever happened to devotion, obsession, possessiveness, the desire to devour someone’s body and soul? what the hell is all this healing shit anyway

this app could be single handedly destroying my mental health and i would never fucking uninstall it because every few days The Transcendental Post will appear and for a brief fleeting moment our souls are freed from samsara as we gaze upon it in awe
