#everyday is a new beginning

[shimmeringweeds]

out of context ep 12 "my new boss is goofy" quotes that I've hidden in my drafts since december hoping someone not me will bring up as more "queer-baiting" examples but, well, here we are.

These quotes are about apartment hunting. But also, do they not read as one person's anxiety over a budding romance?

Momose is hesitant to move because he's found happiness with what they have. Yet he wants the space to grow by himself in confidence and equality. He wants to keep the relationship (broadly speaking) but realizes that continuing as they are will not serve either of them in the long run. (Plus, in a typical courting situation, rejection at this stage is not a good look. +10 anxiety.)

But god bless Shirosaki. Healing boss of our dreams. He explicitly states his feelings on the matter. Yes, he wants Momose to stay. Yes, he is sad. But if Momose wants to leave, then he will back that choice without sacrificing the relationship.

There's an underlying message communicated here that the quality of their relationship is more important than the status of it (status equaling colleagues vs. neighbors vs. roommates vs. lovers) At the same time, he recognizes that status (boss/subordinate and, yes, romantic/platonic) is important to society. The impact that weight has on a person's psyche cannot be brushed aside. It's respected by them both.

They've survived abusive relationships. They are finding the value in sitting with loneliness and building personal confidence. They know they have unconditional friends backing them up. They grace each other with the gift of understanding and space to heal and to grow.

No rush. No pressure. No rejection. Good vibes only.

Myka: Somehow I don’t think Artie will be convinced but know that I support your pursuit for hazard pay, one hundred and ten percent…

Helena: I had very few doubts.

Myka: …even as your room sits completely sealed off with caution tape from the last explosive idea you had.

Helena: Hm. I suddenly have a couple extra doubts.

remembering tonight "变得不适应因为它们原本来自江河大海 世上本不应该有池塘" (said by a monk character) and thinking about the sea being repeatedly suggested to be the place with the last traces of lxy - and llh - in this world

I don't think I'll ever be able to make a solid ranking of taylor's albums or songs because my favorites are entirely dependent on what's happening in my life at that moment

[rustinged]

on what account do your base your idea of yourself on? do you base it on your past actions, thoughts, ideas? how far back? do you account for how you have changed? do you base it on what you are doing in your day to day? I force myself to be brave. does that mean I am brave? am I simply feigning the personality of bravery? or is that what a brave person is to begin with? what is a brave person? say your current actions conflict past actions, but you feel your current actions (positive, negative, or neutral) don’t reflect you. what is “you” ? how are you defining you? for how long can you continue with your current actions before your past actions become irrelevant?

Can a day go by without someone getting exposed for being a scumbag? No? Well fuck me then.

"...The moon is quite small here", a sense of longing and unspoken wishes; a hand that doesn't reach out to catch it. How strange to consider a bigger one normal when it was everything but the first time they saw it, haunting and beautiful and ever looming. It's amazing what you can get used to rang true in more of their sentiments than just one. "Uh, from here", a weak addition, pretending the slip of tongue was human error rather than something more.

Thinking about a mechanic!AU where the 141 boys run a garage and need a new receptionist. They hire you because you’re just so cute (great tits) and have a decent resume but it becomes a slight problem when they realize you’re a bit… dense.

Total ditz to be precise.

But they can’t really get mad when you get the keys for clients mixed up and look at them with those big eyes all teary and a little pout pushing out your lower lip.

Price is the most patient, perfectly content to walk you through how to file paperwork and fill out forms. Instructing you in a low voice while his breath brushes the shell of your ear. It’s really their fault for having such a terrible system, you know? Don’t worry about it too much, dove. He’ll settle his big hands on your shoulders and gently trace up and down your arms. See? You’re getting it. Just needed some more practice, hm?

Johnny is more than happy to show you around the garage, rattling off everything he knows about all those nitty gritty details that go right over your pretty little head. He’ll pop open the hood of some sports car and point to the engine to show it off. No, bonnie, you’ve got tae get in close. Closer.

Until you’re bent entirely over in one of those too-short skirts you wear everyday. It takes all his willpower not to yank you into the supply closet.

Gaz is just so sweet to you. Always bringing you little treats and candies to suck on. To help you concentrate, of course. Always greeting you with a soft ‘baby girl’ at the beginning of your shift. Whenever you’re standing around be it at the printer or counter - wherever really - he’ll slip a hand on your waist. It always trails a little lower, his pinky just edging on the hem of your too tight jeans.

Ghost gets frustrated with you to the point of causing tears to well up in the corners of your eyes. He’s feels guilty, sure, but bloody hell just print the damn receipt. He avoids you for the most part. Until one evening when it’s pouring down. You forgot your rain coat of course, silly girl. He offers you a ride which you take happily.

After that he can’t get rid of you. You bring him coffees (how you remember his order word for word but not where you last left your own cup is beyond him) and giggle at his jokes. When a client gets too snappy or too loud he’s the first to step in - standing behind you glaring at them with his huge arms crossed over his chest until they back down.

i was in a very bad place mentally and i so happened to date a guy for the first time ever in the middle of it all- sweet boy but it got too much for me so i broke up with him and it's been like 3 years since then he has had a girlfriend for like a year now and he is happy (im so glad he deserves it! ) and im here miserable and every guy after him was just a dick, nothing worth my while, and all this makes me question... what if i lost my chance at love?

#timetovent

hi hi - you do things for a reason, even if it seems like it’s all for naught at the time. i truly believe that everything we experience is meant to guide us for a greater purpose in life and that we’re supposed to learn from hardship and happenstance.

with that being said, i also believe that comparison is the thief of joy. i’m glad that you have no hard feelings towards your ex. i always tell my friends that after a long/intense relationship, one needs to spend time by themselves to get reacquainted with who they are as an individual without the label of a significant other. perhaps where you are in life and where he is was meant to be for reasons unknown at this point in time.

we have so much to learn and experience. love is a fickle thing and we often find ourselves thinking we don’t deserve true love because it’s selfish and narcissistic. but love is all around us, it’s in friends and family and your daily routine. love is with you and it will present itself romantically when you stop chasing after it (or so i think through my own experiences).

edit: just wanted to come back here and reaffirm that you are worth every ounce of happiness and love, okay? don’t ever forget that because there will always be someone (me) who thinks you deserve all of that mushy & cliche things.
