actually you know what? it IS okay to look back. you won't turn into a pillar of salt. you don't have to be mourning, either, although that's fine. you can just look. you don't need a reason and you don't need permission and you don't need to be "forward focused" or even "in the moment" every minute of your life. also fuck moving on if you don't want to

it's your life and it's probably the only one you'll ever get. do whatever you want with it and romanticize whatever you want and do things when you're ready instead of when people tell you to

i'm going back through old posts and shit and one of my old old old (like 7 years old) text posts said something like "i'm such a control freak i plan my meltdowns" and i read that and then looked down at the list i was making of how i was going to have an efficient meltdown during my lunch hour on friday

too busy to update my blog today, but PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO RECOGNIZE BLACK HISTORY MONTH! fight for Black lives, celebrate Black stories, and support Black causes!

[ID: a tiktok by @/christiantheshowm, with a caption that reads “Millennials/Gen Z’s as Therapists:” and is a conversation between a therapist and his patient. The therapist is a black man with a beard, wearing a suit and round glasses. the patient is a black man lying down on a couch with one hand resting on his head. he is also wearing a white hoodie. the hoodie is up and the drawstrings are pulled tightly so that only his eyes, nose, and mouth are shown.]

Transcript:

Therapist: So how have things been?

Patient: Maybe I was just put on this earth just to die.

Therapist: Ok.

Patient: Like I’m not meant to find love or be happy.

Therapist: I got you.

Patient: Like I’m just supposed to die.

(the patient turns to the therapist who nods. the camera zooms in.)

Therapist (putting a pen up by his mouth): It do be like that sometimes.

Patient: It do be like that sometimes.

(the camera zooms in more)

Therapist: But not all the time.
