#fall out of the line

[thedepressingdystopianblog]

Here's what my pro-aging routine would look like:

* They tell you to apply anti-wrinkle cream before bed? Don't slather anything on your face. Go to bed with a face that can breathe through all its pores.

*They tell you to botox all the lines out of your face? Slap away any hand that dares to bring a syringe close to your face. Express every damn emotion through every damn muscle in your face.

*They tell you to dye your hair younger? Leave your hair alone, give it the autonomy you crave in your life. Let them crown your head, your mind, your brain in a gradient of grays that is unique to you and the wisdom you've gathered in your years.

*They don't frown, or laugh, too much? Be the bitch who's the most extra in the room. Frown the deepest and the scrunchiest while you figure out how to deal with being a human, and then laugh the loudest and smile widest while you Tai the rewards of all that deep thinking.

*They say compete with younger women to be more beautiful, more sexy, more attractive? Reach out to a younger woman and show her that she has worth beyond her transient beauty. Model to her, and to all women, that being desirable is a false desire sold to them so that they can be whipped with their insecurities every time they dare to fall out of a line someone else drew for their own benefit.

*They say you should worry about getting older? Pop the champagne (or whatever you like) on every birthday. Show all women how you can saunter, vibe, and even dance without anybody's approval outside of that very narrowly defined line.

Repeat after me. Wrinkles are good because they are lines that YOU draw on yourself, for yourself. Every wrinkle is a protest against the lines that others insist on drawing for you.

Don't you get it already? A pro-aging routine is really a pro-living routine.

scrunching my face real hard rn

so i wrote a book that comes out soon and having that be real feels like falling down stairs because i wanted this since i was 7 years old so now what do i want after it.

so tell me why today all i care about is the word trundle, that the word trundle exists. of course i have things to do and emails to send and a world of suffering to protect but today my brain won't let me look away from the sheer linguistic improbability of trundle.

i saw a truck doing it. i imagine animals did it first. or people maybe. to trundle comes direct from old english. cows do it on occasion, but more often sheep (in my experience). someone had to name lope and someone had to name slog. the verbs to run and to leap make sense; they are singular and important distinguishers.

but we can bask rather than relax. we can scuttle rather than crawl. sometimes when i move in dance class it is to undulate rather than roll. someone had to name things like sonder and whimsy. of course we had words for tangible things like tree and grass and root. i love those words, i'm eating them.

i don't know the word for this thing. where it's real-now. sometimes i feel it when i am dating someone i actually like-and-love and i realize that is real, i am dating them and it's real that i like-and-love them. sometimes i have this feeling when i have been planning a vacation or an event for weeks-and-months and it finally happens - the feeling this is happening, it's happening right now.

it happens randomly sometimes too. i will be at the carnival or at an ice cream stand or with the last light of summer in my hair and i will feel it again, that sense - i have waited my whole life for this, and im finally experiencing it, and i need to pay attention to it.

but it's real! how amazing! how horribly tragic! it's real. it exists. the moment is here.

i have no idea what to do with it.

A thing I've never heard talked about but is so down right poetic as a wyllstarion concept is that the park right outside Cazadors was the one Wyll played in pretending to kill monsters when he was a kid...

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.

and you may say to yourself: "my god! what have i done?" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful wife!" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful house!" and you may ask yourself: "well, how did i get here?"

People on ebay trying to sell the first version of Journal 3 for $200... bro i got that version

Did you guys know the original line for:

"Although I confided in F that I was grateful to be traveling it with a friend."

Was actually:

"Although I confided in F that I was grateful to no longer be traveling alone."

Hey Shep! Idk if this is a weird question but, do you ship hex (Helsknight x EX)? This might just be me misremembering things but I could’ve sworn you said something about shipping them in the tags of one of your posts. You don’t have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable I’m just genuinely curious.
