the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong you just need better friends for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.
Living on Earth is actually very magical. Imagine how for someone living on a different planet butterflies would seem like a dream - flying little colorful things that resemble flower petals. Or how they would describe snow. "When it's cold, little cloud flowers fall from the sky and they're so fragile that they melt instantly as soon as they land on someone" Or sun and moon. "They switch places on the sky, one starts the day with its golden light and provides warmth and another one lulls people to sleep. And they do it every day, again and again.” We’re actually living in fantasy lands, we just got used to it 🪄
what if I decide to let the joy slowly creep into my life the same way dread does…… what then
people in gaza have already endured more than 45 days of unimaginable violence, fear for their safety and the possibility of losing their loved ones or being harmed themselves. just imagine the fear of losing your limbs, eyesight, hearing, or everything at once, and having to live with it for the rest of your life. they have already lived with these thoughts and fears for over 45 days. and then, on top of all that, they face the devastating reality of losing their lives. it's truly heartbreaking to think that they may already imagined themselves in that picture before you saw it. the suffering and pain they endure is beyond words
