If you are alone when you crack open a peanut, you are the only person in the world to have ever seen that peanut.

Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad, and philosophy is wondering if ketchup is a smoothie.

sometimes I get so angry thinking about ‘The Imitation Game’ that I have to go in a little ‘upset big tantrum room’ in my head for a calm down

like, Benisnatch Cumberque played the same character he’s always plays as an asshole genius and we were all supposed to be okay with it, but it’s basically character slander

at different parts of the movie Turing is described as ‘arrogant, “inhuman,” “narcissistic,” and even “a monster,” in the film he goes against those around him and is shown to periodically ignore and belittle his colleagues

And. I. Am. So. Angry.

Alan Turing was described by his friends and people that knew him as “intensely shy and kindly”, he was said to “inspire loyalty and affection among those who appreciated his unusual gifts” and was “unfailingly generous with his time and expertise, especially toward younger recruits”

He was kind, he was kind, HE WAS KIND, he was kind

he was kind and geeky and awkward and gay, I don’t care if the whole of society doesn’t find that compelling, I don’t care if we don’t value kindness as an attribute in men, he deserved to be loved and respected as he was, not as we wish he was

I am so sorry Alan Turing, I am so sorry your story was not told with care and thoughtfulness, I am so sorry you didn’t get to be shown to be deeply in love with the men you loved, I am sorry your great and terrible tragedy was never unfolded as a kind and brilliant man abused by a horrible homophobic system

You are a hero that turned the tides of history like no other and I am so sorry

u can fall in love w anybody whether its romantically or not and i think ppl forget that. i think falling in love is jus..knowing that a person heightens your sense of happiness so much that you know you’d be empty without them

well some time passed and i found myself. i am no more afraid and i am not scared of people. i found love and i am happy. it gets better i promise <3

my life is dreadful.

I just realised that my two biggest fears are: the truth about myself and not having control over my life.

so when someone learns a tiny piece of truth about me and I cannot control that I panic.

the solution: isolation

no more people around me
