Openly communicating what you’re feeling is SUCH a great feeling. telling someone EXACTLY what you’re feeling. Telling someone WHAT you will not tolerate and what YOU do and DO NOT not like is sooooooo amazing. Say whatever you’re feeling, don’t be afraid to be blunt and honest! Always speak your truth.

if i say i’m a leftist don’t ask me what branch of leftism do i follow or what old white male revolutionary scholars i have read just know that i want everyone to eat food every day and i’m vibing

excuse me if this makes very little sense as i have been drinking and it is almost eleven pm on a wednesday but today i walked into my favourite cafe and the frenchman who makes my coffee, didier, told me about how he had just discovered that the woman who had left as I came in happened to live on the same street as his brother, “isn’t the world remarkable?” he said to me. I laughed, “don’t you wonder about how many people you meet on a daily basis that you have something in common with without realising?”

Tonight I had beers with a couple of guys, they were old friends. “How long have you known each other?” I asked. They laughed, “guess!” Turns our they shared a wetnurse, a connection their mothers didn’t discover until they became friends years later.

As I walked to the train I texted my housemate to ask where she was, if she wanted to meet up before we headed home. Suddenly I heard my name called as she ran across the station towards me. “Oh how strange, I just messaged you!”

Sometimes the world feels very large and our differences seem unbridgeable. Other days we run into one another over and over again, and I am glad to recognise friends.

parents be like “i know my erratic anger is terrifying and traumatizing to you but you going to your room to feel safe is making me feel like shit”
