I'm either too tired right now or too annoyed to spend my time here, instead I try to forget tumblr exists and just play my puter games.

Humans had always been better at killing than any other living thing.

Dmitry Glukhovsky, METRO 2033.

That's what it is.

What does it mean to be Human?

-People are so ridiculous.

So utterly uncoordinated; so strange; so emotional; so logical; so... messy.

But how can something so dysfunctional be so beautiful?

I guess that's what it means to be Human.

To be a walking contradiction. Constantly swinging left and right, up and down. In every direction but the right one.

To make no sense ever. To be a defying cause of nature. To be a disturbance to its own home. A danger to itself and others. A killing machine capable of the unimaginable. To be a unifying grace in-between worlds.

To feel; irrationally. To think you're doing what's best just to realise you were wrong all along. That's what it is. A mistake. Everything is a mistake. The Human is an inevitable being. It can't help but commit mistake after mistake. It can't help but fall onto its own face. The Human is a mistake, something that perhaps went too far, farther than they should've gone.

But not all mistakes are bad mistakes. - Far from that.

To think; exaggeratedly. Have the necessary complexity to come up with new things, things that didn't exist before. To make something with what they have at hand. That's what it is.

To laugh. To make. To feel. To think. To destroy. To create. To contemplate. To move. To dream. To be.

That's what it is.

To experience is to be.

A film reel flashing in your mind at the simple realisation of life.

The beauty of imperfections.

To be full of flaws. To be perfectly... horrible.

To be beautiful is to be ugly.

Simple.

That's what it is.

People are a lot like magical pockets. They're far bigger on the inside that they appear to be on the outside.

Roshani Chokshi, Aru Shah and the End of Time.

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?

[librarianofdreams]

it takes a village to live.

i think "it takes a village" shouldn't be just "to raise a child". we should understand it takes a village to do literally everything we do. all day every day. without our communities we would not have drinking water or electricity or clean streets or food or shelter or anything. we cannot do any thing alone. we just can't. and with that comes the fact that you are not alone. you already have a community, seek to be an active part of it, you will feel better. reach out and thank them, they're happy to have you too. i promise. it takes a village to live.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.
