feels really typical to say but

realizing i still have so many questions re: how to interact w people

when to bring up my feelings and how and what i expect in return

how expecting a cold reaction is p insulting to them

how being negative can make them feel bad/useless and what to do about that/how much to be concerned about that

how not talking about it when it’s obvious and getting in the way //covering it up may also make them feel bad/powerless

how i spend a lot of time wanting other people to be comfortable and even here and now i’m thinking about how to make people more comfortable

how maybe i don’t know how to have people like me without doing something that benefits them even at my own expense

what to do with all of this

“

How on earth did it happen, I used to wonder
that a whole city—arches, pillars, colonnades,
not to mention vehicles and animals—had all
one fine day gone under?

I mean, I said to myself, the world was small then.
Surely a great city must have been missed?
I miss our old city —

white pepper, white pudding, you and I meeting
under fanlights and low skies to go home in it. Maybe
what really happened is

this: the old fable-makers searched hard for a word
to convey that what is gone is gone forever and
never found it. And so, in the best traditions of

where we come from, they gave their sorrow a name
and drowned it.

Is anyone else weirdly self-conscious about wiper blade speed? Like, I’m always afraid that I’ll have them set too fast for the amount of rain happening, and people will look at me and judge me like “lol omg bitch be tryin 2 hard”

kilgorepout:

You’re here for a reason
You’re living and breathing
And if you keep on trying someday you’ll find out why.

If I love you and miss you because I probably haven’t seen you
In a long, long time.

Just don’t let it be the last time you come into my life.

Maybe all this rock’n’rollin’ adds up to nothing
but right now it’s the only thing that
keeps me going

And this road leads home if I turn the car around
but for now I gotta keep on moving.

Just don’t let it be the last time you come into my life.

I could write you a letter
but I don’t know where to send it
Hope it’s better where you’re headed
than wherever you are.

Everywhere I go
everyone I know comes with
Wonder how many more I can fit inside this crowded, crazy heart.

Just don’t let it be the last time you come into my life.

i do that too, and it makes me wary of criticising anything ever because i like to gripe a lot and not actually confront the people who do the things i don’t like, and i never want the people listening to me to think i’m talking about them! so. yep.

yeaaah i’m really careful about saying i don’t like a certain thing (outside the realm of bigotries - altho i get clammy about those sometimes if i’m not comfortable in the environment but that’s a different topic), i guess i like to think that there are not many things that are objectively and in every case bad, and my opinion shouldn’t make someone else scrunch up self-consciously. soo yes basically. because i fear a bit that everyone’s secretly judging me i worry that they will think i’m secretly judging them when i’m not

when people talk about things they don’t like in other people i have a bad tendency to think “oh, my gosh, do i do that? i do that don’t i? how can i have been so thoughtless to do that, they would despise me if they found out, what if they’ve noticed it and already despise me for it oh no etc etc” even if it’s a thing i don’t really do. i immediately shrink up and while YEAH it can be a good thing to inspect yourself and your actions re: bigotries and discriminatory acts, often it’s teensy things that make me doubt myself and my integrity and feel attacked for no reason and that’s not cool. this is just a post to be self-aware. thank you

are you sure you want to do this i’m in a very affectionate state in addition to being pitifully taken with those who profess to like me so you’re going to be hit with a lot of good Vibes soon if you take stock in such things

who’s grimy and gross (maybe from dancing to ‘kiss you’ for ten minutes, maybe from clipping back bangs and winding hair into loose, increasingly greasy buns the whole weekend, who can say) and eating the shittiest ever store-bought icing?
