i like to imagine that finding true love will be like stepping into a house i've never been to before and finding out i can navigate it with the lights off, in the pitch black dark. like coming home

"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.
Anyone else have that thing where you get stressed out when someone else is in a bad mood because now it's your responsibility to make them feel better, but if you're in a bad mood and someone tries to cheer you up you get stressed out because now it's your responsibility to pretend that it's helping to make them feel better.
please note everyone vibing with this post: a) I’m very sorry but also b) this is pathological people pleasing and is something to talk to a therapist about.
(signed, someone who vibes with this post, though less than she did once. )
This can often come from a place of trauma, if you were raised in a toxic or narcissistic environment, where you were VERY aware that a failure to manage the other person's (often parent's) emotions meant that it was going to be A Scene and you were going to be Blamed and so you've learned to perform in ways that manage other people's emotions in order to avoid uncomfortable situations, but as my tumblr friend findingfeather says, that is something to talk to a therapist about.
(As a note, I experienced this in religious environments growing up, so it might not have even been a parent.) (Also women often feel this obligation toward men because toxic masculinity has preached that men's emotions are the responsibility of the women in their life. This is Not True.)

when i imagine a hozier concert, i picture him laying down on the stage alone and singing like he’s dead or dreaming and we’re all just witness to his final moments
I'd imagine it looking something like:
