no lie, the second half of this post really helped me put a different perspective on my life and greatly the decreased the anxiety i have about my life to come
One day you’re the awkward teen avoiding relatives at dinner and next day you’re the relative that the new awkward teens are avoiding at dinner and your heart yearns to know them but you know that they do not wish to know you because they are finding and discovering themselves away from peering adult eyes and you, against your will, have become the thing that they do not wish to be observed by and you miss when they were small, not because you don’t want them to grow up, but because that is when they spoke to you and were happy doing so. Because they did not shy away when you said that you loved them and because they seemed so happy and you know now that the weight of knowledge of the wide world is starting to set in and they don’t quite know what to do with the wide world or their newly adult brains and they certainly don’t want to be judged for their teenageness, so they retreat away from you and whisper to each other and stare at something in a book or on their phones or in their pockets and you wonder what pain and joy they are hiding from you that previously they wouldn’t have, and somehow the most heartbreaking thing of all is that you know that someday the same thing will happen to them that is happening to you right now. And you wonder how many billions of humans have survived this cycle of not exactly heartbreak, but tiny heart fractures. Hairline cracks that barely leak. Realizing that they have become the danger to avoid even if they didn’t intend to, and bathing in the sorrow and joy that comes with the uncontrollable passage of time. It happens so quickly that it’s frightening. In less than two or three years. And you are left wondering what tiny sorrows you are currently inflicting upon those who love you that you won’t know about until years down the line. You wonder what you’ve forgotten. What the adolescents know that you don’t. What you know that they don’t. And all of these thoughts go through your head in less than one second as your teenage cousin leaves the room during dinner, and you sigh a little bit.
heres the thing tho: this site is pretty much dead. almost a good chunk of the userbase went to twitter or elsewhere (or left social mediea altogether like brave soilders). so how much is tumblr excepting to make off this shitty subscription? a penny and two quarters?
dont you think its weird. dont you think its weird that the space race last time was two of the biggest powers in the world. and now its a handful of rich men. dont you think its weird they can afford that. dont you think its bad that rich men can afford the same things as the government.
dont you think its weird that while the world is suffering and poverty is everywhere, where there’s wars and climate change and human pain and homelessness. the same month I’ve watched people die on the news from unbearable heat and unprecedented flooding. that a rich handful of men are going to space, causing more carbon emissions. dont you think its weird that instead of putting their vast amount of money to use for good they’re using it to find a way off the planet theyre destroying.
I identify with the wizard Howl because if *I* had magical powers I would use them to get better hair, evade taxes, make computer games for my nieces and nephews, use aliases that imply I’m related to King Arthur, spend at least half my life as a literal toddler and discover alternate planes of reality so that I could flirt with the girls there.

Okay but this is the tweet I saw and I wouldn’t normally go to bat for people I don’t know, but they seem to actually be pretty genuine people who tend to stay in their own lanes, and are at the very least good sports about it.
