Always Remember:
- kissing can and will, get boring.
- its ok to go to sleep on opposite sides.
- forgetting favorites, dates and replies is only human.
- you dont have to like, or be friends with all of their friends and vice-versa.
- they have a right to spend weekends dedicating to their friends and family. you have the same right.
- privacy is still in play.
- trying simple things that they like, no matter how much you are sure you will dislike it, is a very small step you can take to show your love to them.
- you dont gotta have the same taste in music, food, books etc.
- saying i love you, thank you, take care, please and i missed you really helps.
- you cant agree with all their life decisions and they cant with yours. keeping an open mind and having an honest and deep discussion about it helps.
- they dont need your permission to do things and neither you need theirs.
- the intention and care behind the gift matters. not its price tag.
- dont try and change them. help them become better versions of themselves and get the same help and support and care from them.
- know what matters most and focus on that.

Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with
you are good even when you are unemployed.
you are good even when you need to rely on others’ help.
you are good even when you are depressed.
you are good even when you are hurt.
you are good even when you are scared.
you are good even when you are overwhelmed.
you are good even when you are not tidy.
you are good even when you are confused.
you are good even when you have difficulty performing tasks.
you are good even when you feel like you’ll never measure up to being an adult.
symptoms are not morality.
honestly tho like people who aren’t…raised by alcoholics don’t really…understand roses distaste for the moments when mom lalonde is affectionate and Trying. theres something sickening and horrible about the way emotionally absent parents try to suddenly make up for years of neglect in short bursts but you really dont have any idea who this person loving you is, not really, so its empty, even if genuine. its hard to explain to someone who comes in thinking “oh but mom loves rose” the gut wrenching disgust and horror that comes with the territory of “this person loves me but i know this moment of affection won’t last” like. people who write off rose as just being 13 really just. they dont get it
a serious homestuck take in 2023.
nice.
I’ve never gotten into homestuck but I felt this hard
"you pay more for boujee products because they are made with love and care by small workshops uwu"

FUN FACT
Many designer brand names make their big designer labels and their affordable lines BOTH in fast fashion sweatshops with similar quality of labor, pay, and other detrimental factors. One of the major differences, of course?
The price they charge you, the consumer, for the finished product.
Paying more for a name brand doesn't free you from fast fashion, because fast fashion is not a consumer issue. It is an industry level failure.
The other thing so-called ‘prestige brands’ will do is bring in workers from countries where labor is cheap (like China) to places like France and Italy, pay them garbage wages, treat them like shit, and slap a ‘made in Italy’ label on the product to sell it for thousands.
