#act of love

[apenitentialprayer]

My children, the three acts of faith, hope, and charity contain all the happiness of man upon the earth. By faith, we believe what God has promised us: we believe that we shall one day see Him, that we shall possess Him, that we shall be eternally happy with Him in heaven. By hope, we expect the fulfillment of these promises: we hope that we shall be rewarded for all our good actions, for all our good thoughts, for all our good desires (for God takes into account even our good desires). What more do we want to make us happy? [… L]ove; oh, we shall be inebriated with it! We shall be drowned, lost in that ocean of divine Love, annihilated in that immense charity of the Heart of Jesus! So that charity is a foretaste of heaven.

Saint Jean Vianney (Catechetical Instructions, Chapter 2).

rosekiller would peel off their skin for one another so they’d literally just have a skeleton hand with their names carved into it (barty would have evan’s name carved whilst evan would have barty’s carved) and say if one of them died the surviving one would eat his heart

like i can just imagine evan sat over barty’s dead body, skeleton hand intwined with his sloppily eating barty’s heart until there’s nothing left but the blood smeared on his hands and face (he would eat that as well)

The point is, I have so much love inside me.

And yes it finds its place inside people’s hearts and I’m grateful for that. But despite all that, it never finds a home where it can rest easy and rejuvenate. I pray to God.

I am choking on the love I hold back on. The love that never makes it beyond my thoughts, the sheer helplessness of it smothers me sometimes.

Then, again. I suppose the holding back itself is also an act of love.

And perhaps the love with always seep through, no matter what I do.

We talk about the Orange Peel Theory but we should collectively look at the Tea Theory too.

I give my mom a cup of tea in her favorite cup after an argument. I give my grandma a cup of tea to tell her I love her. I give my friend a cup of tea because she is sick. I give my lover a cup of tea because they feel alive by it. I give myself a cup of tea because it's a cheers of peace.

Tea isn't looked anything close to coffee but i believe, tea feels like a second birth, a chance to grow, a way to warm your insides. Tea will always find it's way closest to your heart and to your head and nothing comes close to the power it has.

It's the handpicked magic.

If you don't know what to give someone, give them a blanket that's large and soft enough to sleep under.

“these characters should be mentally healthy before they get together 😌” ummm no I actually think we should smash their mental illnesses together like clumps of play-doh and see what colors it makes

Kinda fucked up that we all coo and sympathize with "former gifted kids" but never talk about the students who had to stay late after school or over the summer for remedial classes/clubs, who struggled to get above a C, who were given up on or punished. Who tried so hard to understand or just couldn't. Who were grouped with the "stupid kids" (a classmate called us that in remedial math btw)

Autistic kids and adhders who can't relate to their gifted peers and are constantly alienated by them. Kids who struggled in school due to dealing with a chronic or mental illness or physical/learning/developmental disability. Those of us who have had to drop out of highschool or college. Kids who worked so hard and wanted to be seen as smart, but never were. Who watched as their peers seem to fly by them in school, while they were left behind. Who were bullied and put down by those in the gifted and honors classes. Whose confidence was absolutely destroyed by education.

I love you all and I'm so sorry the school system failed you. I'm sorry you weren't properly accommodated and given the education you deserved. I'm sorry people put you down for something that they never had to fight for.

I spoke with a woman today who bought a really expensive pair of shoes to impress a man. on the one hand this is coded - 'ew you did what to impress a man!?' and on the other hand it's super sweet and very bold of her. sometimes other people can be the prize too and we can act like it, and that doesn't make us a simp or needy or desperate or any of that. It's lovely, and romantic and hopeful and we need more of this asap. he might not even notice her shoes, but it's about the possibility that he might and that they might have a lasting impression on him, enough for him to alter his opinion of her or form a brand new one. what an act of love to go out of your way to impress someone. & not bc you want them to like you, but bc of how much you like them. so admirable. yes we are the prize, but sometimes other people are worth going the extra mile to show them they are the prize too.
