#I felt like oversharing

[machiavellli]

the only thing I would really love to change about myself is my ability to console people. I know many would say that being there, holding them, crying with them is enough. but I just wish I knew what to say, I knew a way of actually making them feel better. I never know how to react when people say the worst thing that has happened to them. and there is not a completely right, clear and universal path for consoling people, but I just wish I knew how to be good enough in those situations.

ok i swear i'm not going to talk about my breakup forever but the thing that just keeps bothering me:

i know that not getting what you need in a relationship is a COMPLETELY valid reason to end it but also. i feel like having a very vulnerable moment where i opened up about my struggles with intimacy and being relieved that i didn't have to keep doing things i wasn't comfortable with, then being dumped a YEAR later because of my lack of intimacy. is something i should be allowed to be very hurt by???

10/10 would smash Yuri buuuuut this vid lived rent free in my head, I don't wanna skip to my next life just yet-

no because i can vouch that she is 100% correct. of course everyone's built different but i have almost the exact same opinions as her...they dont call it rearranging your guts for no reason yall.

BUT you can also make a lot work with a bit of time and patience :D and when you're sequestered in the deepest part of the woods, trapped in a village that most people that don't even know exists, there is definitely more than plenty of time :) though Yuri also tends to be impatient, so......................... good luck? ^^;

Is it wrong of me to feel just a liiiiiiitle salty about the fact that the x men are everyone’s favourite superheroes again but everyone’s decided to experience collective amnesia about the public perception of the x men in the 2010s during which I stuck with them as my favourite marvel heroes?

Even through the times marvel editorial actively tried to kill off their popularity plus being the only person I knew who got super hyped for dofp/apocalypse/dark phoenix while everyone else was hyped for the latest avengers film. (Also having to eat a big slice of humble pie when dark phoenix turned out to be total shit) Like I know this is incredibly minor and petty and unimportant but still stings a little you know?

OKAY SO

Sometimes I am not super steady with my meds. This doesn't happen super often, so I always forget a hilarious, heartwarming side effect of starting one particular medicine back up...

I get effusive. I mean every word, but I just want to reassure anyone who's gotten a message from me today that nothing's wrong, I'm not 'love bombing' or anything like that, I just get this urge to wordvomit how much you mean to me. I forget that this is a side effect every time, because it's maybe once every 6-12 months, and because telling people how they've made me smile is always a choice I'm going to make.

My oldest is Gen Z and she calls it 'NPC syndrome,' the way we can often take each other for granted. In truth, I really appreciate so, so many of you, and want to let you know that you've made Tumblr a refuge, a sounding board, a creative outlet, and so much more. Cheers, favorite treats, and respectful hugs to you all!!

sometimes i wonder how much covid really impacted me until i realize that the reason i still feel so nostalgic and sad that my teenage years are over and why i have trouble accepting that ive moved on and am an actual adult now is because the moment i turned 18 the world immediately stopped

[pinkmirth]

[cb-writes-stuff]

yknow what, you asked me what mine was, so now imma ask you!

what's your go-to ice cream flavor? :]

Cookies and cream! It used to be vanilla, but then one day I thought “why not try something new.” So I did, and now I like cookies and cream.

I made and deleted a post about this a few weeks ago but I've been thinking a lot about projecting onto toxic ships/dynamics in fiction, and not onto the romantic parts ("I relate to Pete in Vegaspete because I want someone to unlock me to human touch") but onto the very toxic parts ("I relate to Vegas in Vegasporsche because he's lying his ass off and orchestrating Porsche's downfall, and mentally blaming Porsche for everything he's planning to do to him, for believing the wrong things and choosing the wrong side, AND for falling for Vegas's obvious facade! Dummy I've always been your enemy it's SO OBVIOUS!! Yet in the moment, when they're riding bikes or hugging and Vegas is compartmentalizing, he does genuinely care about Porsche and feel honest affection for him, and that's what sells the lie... and makes Vegas hate himself for his traitorous weakness and want to sabotage any sincere moments they have"), and how huge this distinction feels to me. So I wanted to do like a Tell me the most toxic fictional thing you overidentify with meme.

Not sure that's the best way to word it, and you don't have to (and probably shouldn't) explain why, but like. Don't tell me "I relate to Korn as a parent;" tell me "I relate to Korn when he's preventing his children from competing by pitting them against their cousins instead, because he can blame that on their grandfather and his brother and not himself, and pretend his kids are fine and it's just the cousins who are getting destroyed". Does that make sense? This way also I don't have to know your toxic blorbo to understand your toxic emotion. Anyway do it

I’ve been sending one of my best friends postcards for the past ten years and she never sends any, which is fine, you know. It’s time consuming and not everyone has the time or wants to do it. But now she’s met her new boyfriend and she talked about how they established this ‘new tradition’ of sending each other postcards whenever they go on holiday. And I literally just sat there like. Oh okay.

web weave idea: loving someone but watching them grow apart from you and you cant help but still love them even though its no longer reciprocated and it hurts (totally not relevant to my personal life……..)
