They should invent a brain that lets you sleep

I am so so so tired in my fucking soul.

my toxic trait is that, i don't give up on people easily. you have to make me hate you to the point where i never wanna see you again in order for me to give up on you.

just because someone carries it well, doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy

"am I being annoying" are you aware that my heart is trying to crawl out of my chest to get to you

“how was ur day?” “how are u?” “i missed u today” “call me when u get home” “im proud of you”

Mary Oliver, from “Hum Hum”, A Thousand Mornings

Andrea Gibson, Birthday

“but what if i’m being annoying :(“ everyone’s annoying dipshit it came free with fucking being alive and existing. now go talk to your friends

— Stig Dagerman, from “In Grandmother’s House”, Sleet: Selected Stories (trans. Michael Hartman)

saw a quote that said “be the adult you needed as a child” and it's changed my whole perspective

Savannah Brown, from Closer Baby Closer; “Retroactive jealousy”

Gustav Janouch, Conversations with Kafka

Hey btw I don't know who needs to hear this, but those adults telling you that your teen years are the best years of your life? Yeah I don't know what the hell they're smoking, either. I'm 29 and every once in a while I just sit here and think "man, it sure sucked to be 14. Glad I never have to do that again."

The fact that it's a stereotype for adults to have nightmares about being back in high school and then wake up and be relieved it was all a dream should tell you something
