#SMALL WORLD WE LIVE IN

[kyoghurts]

Kenji, dear beloved Kenji. Happy very belated bdayy :((( I can’t believe I missed it, but I just wanted to drop by and say that I’m happy to know such a beautiful soul and another amazing writing mutual such as yourself. I appreciate you for also sticking around since our wattpad days, since that was the first time I interacted with you.

I know you’re probably gonna face many trials and tribulations irl, and many more research torments (trust me, as someone who went though that, it gets really dicey and difficult) but ik you’ll do just fine, I treasure you lots even if we don’t talk a bunch due to being busy.

This is getting too long TT excuse my cheesiness, I just wanted to show a bit of Kenji appreciation because I really don’t think I’ve expressed a lot of it, I hope you enjoyed your bday!! <333

lots of love and support, Kou 💌

you see me tearing up like this and its all ur fault kou

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

I’m going to paint you a picture of modern communication, and how it is fundamentally broken.

Let’s look at one friend. You chat pretty much everyday, and mostly talk to this person on twitter and discord, with occasional tumblr DMs. That’s three places you talk. But that’s actually not true, because you also have each other’s priv twitters and talk there as well. That’s four. Now account for, let’s say, one post reply per account per person, in addition to your DMs. That’s eight. But that’s ALSO not true, because not only do you talk in discord DMs with each other, but you’re in a friend group server as well! And you talk in those channels together! That’s nine.

This is one friend.

Now look around you. How many friends, how many mutuals are you in contact with. A few, a handful, a dozen, more? How many accounts per person do you have, how many places can you send each other posts, devolve into separate topics and conversations? How many people text you as well. Friends, family, coworkers? What do you do day to day around catching up, what IRL commitments will rip you away long enough to let the pile build again?

I can’t do it. I cannot live an actual life in the real world and balance this much interaction, it’s crushing. I reply to a friend’s post because I’m interested in the subject, I want to have a discussion! I WANT to talk about it with them, but I immediately kick myself for adding another conversation to the pile. Day by day, I ignore messages for hours on end and watch mountains pile around me, to reply en masse at the end of the night to let the cycle repeat. I wake up to six discord DMs and as I clear the third, the first replies back again.

We weren’t meant to have thirty simultaneous conversations. We weren’t. And you know in your bones that the number isn’t an exaggeration.

me bc every group under the sun except wayv gets to have concerts n tours

i just wanna say if not for fma 03 i wouldnt have the views i have as an american on palestine so implicitly, because fma03 already taught me years ago what complicity in imperialism and genocide looks like and why i hold responsibility as a citizen to speak out

shoutout to the person on the bus with the tadc keychain who i think was scrolling through tumblr... i now know there is an actual chance that a total stranger within like 1km of me has seen my fanart online and that is a haunting prospect

There are many reasons to vote come November, but up there is the question of who do you want to have the honor of hosting the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles.

That's on the ballot, too. Just sayin'.

If I see a non-passing t woman in the women's bathroom I feel the need to compliment her, even if I don't love her hair or what she's wearing all that much, because I cried the first time I heard somebody on a show use they/them pronouns and if I can make somebody in real life feel a fraction of that safety and acceptance, I will
