So this is an actual thing I found at work.
I saw this book once and SO regret not buying it im so curious about what it entails 😅😶
“How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.”— Nina LaCour; Hold Still
My dreams include: getting all my friends with serious OCs together and playing as them in a game of DnD
Golden: All-nighters, remote beaches, escapism, forest trails, wet hair, salty sea kisses, a warm presence, drunken tattoos, split second decisions, choosing love over ambitions.
Kaito: standing on tiptoes, secrecy, sneaking out, bruises, an aching feeling of emptiness, hand holding, loss of conviction, overworking, scabs and bandaids, crying yourself to sleep, blood covered sinks, an overwhelming longing for freedom.
Ivor : The smell of turpentine, painting for days on end, dissasociation from time, wondering if you really exist, stargazing on wet grass, panic driven midnight jogs, liminal spaces, highlighting interesting phrases in books
Z'al : the calm after the storm, long naps, intense stares, Cavernous rooms, a calming sense of pointlessness, violence and disregard, a cold uncaring demeanor, meaningful hugs, rough sex.
Guy: No regrets yet no ambitions, entire Days spent reading, hot soup, the feeling of getting home after a long day, doing strange and random things just to feel human, overanalyzing pointless things, familiar smells that cant be placed.
Joseph: Sunrises, rainy mornings, fading hair dye, quick glances at passers by, going to the supermarket on a cold day, late regret filled nights, longing for a better time that never was.
Roux: a crushing loneliness, achievement and ambition, penthouse suites, early morning café visits, making friends with a neighbour, trouble letting people in, sunbathing, a big bed all to yourself, dusty art studios, self hatred, meaningful connections.
Drake: running from your past, cold showers, long walks, inside jokes, a feeling that something is horribly wrong, burnt toast, all night skype calls, waking up next to a loved one. Unconditional kindness, old scars, snow days, chapped lips, black coffee.
Spectrine: nighttime walks, romantic dates, bar hopping, crying in a public loo, expensive perfume, gritted teeth, determination, candid photography, stiletto heels.
Bianca: crunching leaves, feminist marches, running from the past, adventures with friends, studying, unfinished drawings, tough decisions, skinny dipping, clothes that don’t fit.
fat animals are cute and all these “absolute unit” memes are very funny, but i hope y'all realise it really isn’t healthy for your pets to be that overweight
please, please learn how much food your pet actually needs so you don’t overfeed them and make sure they have the opportunities to get enough exercise, and if they ARE overweight consult a professional on how to help them lose it. because let me tell you, it’s stops being cute real fast when they start suffering from health problems that could have been prevented if they’d been provided with a healthy, active lifestyle.
So important 👏👏👏 Our pets are our responsibility and they rely on us to give them what they need, not monitoring their diets and letting them get to unhealthy weight extremes causes avoidable discomfort for the animal as well as medical issues. Please take proper care of your pets and make sure you know how much and what to feed them.
Dudes, just write. Stop asking me if you should start/continue/finish what you’re writing despite having x, y, or z problem. If you want to write I am in NO WAY authorized to tell you when to stop/start. That’s up to you and always will be.
If you think “no one will ever genuinely like this” you are 100% wrong. 100%. Think about all the trash out there that has fans. I wrote stuff when I was twelve that had more genuine fans among my family/classmates than ANYTHING I never shared with another living soul. It’s impossible to write something no one will like.
If you think “I’ll never finish it so why even bother?” you’re only depriving yourself, man. That’s like saying, “I like this cookie, but I can’t eat the whole bag. Guess I won’t even try one.” ????? Just write the story, to hell with endings. Some of the best works in the world went unfinished by the author/composer/architect, yet we admire the heck out of them. Maybe, instead of thinking you’ll never finish something, tell yourself this is the one you will finish (and repeat it until you do).
If you feel “this hurts to write, I’m too close to the subject material” either set it aside or full speed ahead. You MUST know how many classics, prize winners, and life changers came from someone’s very real pain and experience. Addicts, traumatized persons, victims, quite often they find solace and healing in writing about their experiences. Most importantly, so do their readers.
If you want to write, write. Otherwise only you are standing in the way of what you want.
i genuinely hope anyone ages 13-15 on this website (or, god forbid, younger) stays safe and keeps their private information secure and really private
please, if you’re really young on tumblr, try not to get swept up in the discourse and the tremendous amount of arguing with strangers that goes on here. i know you probably feel mature for your age but this website, like, really psychologically affects youth, and i encourage you to be cautious about your interactions with people on here
please, kiddos, stay safe
additionally, for my young, non-adult followers,
- depression memes about wanting to die aren’t a healthy coping mechanism and can lead to worsening symptoms of your own mental health if overindulged in
- you are not garbage. or trash. i know these terms are popular on here, but you shouldn’t be calling yourself that. you have everything you need inside of you to become your best self, even if it’s hard to see that
- seriously, really don’t trust adults who want to date you. don’t trust adults who call you hot, flirt with you, ask you sexual questions, or ask you for nudes. (that last one is VERY illegal, also, please get help from a trusted non-creepy adult if this happens to you)
- the opinions of complete strangers who aren’t interacting with you typically aren’t worth it. move on, use the block button. it’s not worth engaging with people who are going to make you feel awful or unsafe
- take breaks from tumblr if it’s getting really stressful for you. talk to friends if you’ve got em, play a videogame or do whatever it is that can take your mind off the massive amounts of Hell on this website
- recovery is good. it’s really, really good. if you’re having mental health issues, please seek out help if you can, or ask a trusted adult or friend for guidance. you are not alone. don’t let this website make you feel like you are
If Kaito and Golden had instagram pages they’d look something like this
tips for how to live a kind life
1) don’t say mean things about people, behind their backs or to their face. it’s not cool to be inconsiderate of others’ feelings. ignore people who want you to participate in talking badly about others, even if you are not fond of that person.
2) speak gently with a full heart.
3) be perceptive of others’ trauma, daily struggles, disabilities, and insecurities.
4) treat animals with tender respect.
5) don’t act out irrationaly towards the people you love. before you lash out, think about the consequences towards their feelings that would follow.
6) always remember that the positive energy you put out will come back to you.
