#on the future

[akindplace]

I don’t know what the future holds. I can’t control a lot of things. All i know is I want to write, to read poetry, to go to museums, to have a place of my own and fill it with orchids, to have nights of sitting around a table laughing with friends. I want to slow dance with my boyfriend. Maybe I will have a kid, maybe I won’t. I’d like to study more, learn more. I’d like to not feel so much shame about being a flawed human being. I want to see the ocean again and again and again. I want to hold life in my arms, to embrace everything and everyone, to hold onto hope and to let go of guilt and hurt and fear as best as humanly possible.

And when it’s my time, I hope I feel it’s okay to go because I’d know I’ve done the best I could with what I had, that I gave love and was loved. That I didn’t hold back, that I tried to live my own little life in the best way to find my own happiness. I’m still so young! And all I know is that there is a lot of grief in this world, but there is a lot of people trying to do good too, and there is a lot of beauty to behold, a lot to learn, to understand, to feel.

I know the world is full of love because I too am full of love for it.

There's a bunch of stuff I wanna do for the Dreaming Memories AU but I just can't find the right moment to sit down and work on it orz

had a minor freak out over academic achievement.... i put a lot of pressure on myself to do well and i need a specific score to get into the course i want to study in at uni and my prediction says i'll over shoot the score by a few points but that was when i thought i'd actually perform well in my 50% weighted exams.... i'm not performing how i was meant to perform.... which really sucks when you're me and you put a whole heap of your worth on how well you perform. but my mother, the beautiful woman that she is, reminded that i'm 17 and this score isn't the end of the world, it's not even the beginning of it either. it's just a score, it won't matter in 6 months. i can work around the things that need working around. it doesn't make me more or less of a person. i'm 17, i'm not expected the know what i'm doing or where i'm going, all i'm expected to be is 17. this is only the very beginning of my life, i just got to try my best and cross my fingers; thats all we can ever do.

breathe. we'll be ok.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Apparently the local university’s undergraduate entomology course sends students to catch insect specimens at the same place I like to go birdwatching, which explains why I saw three enormous frat looking dudes with tiny bug nets and overheard one emphatically say “bro BRO I told you we already have enough lepidopterans”

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

I love how Gerald was trying to keep Shadow from spoiling anything about the future meanwhile literally everything Shadow says and does around Maria is the biggest death flag ever
