things in life that are all they promise to be: wolford tights, dyson products, tretinoin, mdma, psilocybin, unspecified peptides, that one scene in phantom thread where she calls him a hungry boy, falling and staying in love, finding your vocation, derek parfit, anna karenina

“You can feel something intense for a person & still not love them. You can miss them,crave them,ache for them, & still not love them. Love is not the size of emotion.”

Reminds me of lines from Dream Count; “I thought about how desire can live beside love without becoming love.”

[Heidi Priebe ✈️🌞 @HeidiPriebe1]

“Do not say “deep down they loved me.” Deep down is not where your nervous system lives. You sleep in the shallow end. You wake in the shallow end. Your nightmares happen at the surface. You deserve a love that is honest there too.”

This is such beautiful writing (& beautiful sentiment).

This felt like a truck slam to my head and a flood in my heart all at the same time.

Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, had just given birth when she was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. She writes about her fear of adding another tragedy to her family’s life. https://t.co/GR1vSZYmsW

Forehead kisses used to mean something.

You being intimidated by me is not me being mean to you.

Need the Pixel P9P to fall in love with photography again.

I won my appeal! Omg.

Only the doors you believe are closed are closed to you.

If my dad taught me anything, it’s that, for me, every door is open or can be open.

[ria @ThaBigAppple]

Heavens! Mims and I have SUFFERED at the hands of tailors in this city.

Battered and bruised. Knocked over and tumbled around.

What I ordered vs What I got’s stuffed in my gallery and when I’ve encountered my 13th tailor, I’ll line them up here and call each one of them out.

[Autumn Christian @teachrobotslove]

When I was a child adults often expressed their resentment to me at how "easy" I had it because I didn't have to pay bills, go to work, got to play with toys etc. But I discovered being an adult was a hundred times easier than being a child. You shouldn't dismiss the work of children - it's very difficult and often painful to learn how to grow up, and it's tough to navigate a world you know nothing about and often get little guidance for.

And if you were even halfway clever you would question whether what I share is accurate, current, or even true. Don’t be an idiot, I could be a bot for all you really know.

[rue🌿 @Ruesavatar]

If you’re like, “but rue! You never posted about it!”
You’re a damn fool if you think I post even a fraction of my life here. Most things should and do stay personal, I overshare specific aspects and keep everything else quiet. So if you think you know me, no you don’t.

[ria @ThaBigAppple]

I’ve had quite a stressful & tiresome week. Wednesday felt like Friday (I wanted it to be Friday).

It’s over now and I’m so happy. Not bc it’s over but bc it felt like I had a good & fulfilling week. Bc I like what I do and the people who get to do it with the same devotion.

@the46thronin Some part of me lives for these photos.

@TasneemNabi @noampomsky This was so wonderful to use and I woke up looking and feeling so hydrated every time I used it. But the LRP cicaplast B5…idk. Two queens should be able to coexist.

[rly cool girl @hikingshawty]

no such thing as bad weather, only your attitude towards it

…who never learned to love past reason.

[🕊️ @lichthauch]

Bring back the madness of two people standing before God and each other saying "I choose you not because it makes sense but because it makes me whole, not until I'm tired of you but until my heart stops beating, not with conditions but with everything I am and everything I'll become." The world needs witnesses to forever again, needs proof that some things still can't be bought, sold, or dissolved by judges who never learned to love past reason
