There are raspberries in the world. And moss. And people who wave at trains. There are books with cracked spines and sweaters that smell like home. There are forests that keep growing back like nothing ever tried to end them. You haven’t missed life. It’s still happening.

"If you were stuck in the woods, would you rather find yourself alone with a man or a bear?" Women immediately and without hesitation: A bear.
Men bitching about women picking the bear: you would not pick a fucking bear you liar.
A quote I heard someone (itzkenny via TikTok) say in response to these type of men: "This is a hypothetical question and you still won't take no for an answer."
