Hi—I’m Ash💫27. Bi. She/Her.
Here’s an absolute cluster of my heart.

I know this is weird but I really want to know. This is a serious poll. Obviously don't feel pressured to elaborate on any of these answers, if you choose to answer. But I'd appreciate a reblog.

OP I hope you know that this is poetry even if it's also a serious poll

this notion that if you're an adult still on tumblr it's bc something is wrong doesn't sit right with me... unfortunately I can't refute it bc there is something wrong with me

But one is a stranger, a woman she notices while she sits on a bench, gathering herself. It’s a type of woman she has never seen before, because there are no old women in Barbieland. When Barbie looks at her, she finds her beautiful and tells her so. The woman already knows. Suddenly Barbie, the fraught aspirational figure, has beheld someone she might aspire to be, and it is a radiantly content nonagenarian, reading a newspaper on a Los Angeles bench, who knows what she’s worth.

“The idea of a loving God who’s a mother, a grandmother — who looks at you and says, ‘Honey, you’re doing OK’ — is something I feel like I need and I wanted to give to other people,” Gerwig says. When it was suggested that this scene, which Gerwig calls a “transaction of grace,” might be cut for time, she remembers thinking: “If I cut that scene, I don’t know why I’m making this movie. If I don’t have that scene, I don’t know what it is or what I’ve done.

New game every time I check tumblr I play Foolish One

I stayed there

Dust collected on my pinned up hair

I cause no harm

Mind my business

If our love died young

I can’t bear witness

And it’s been so long, but if you ever feel you got it wrong I’m right where

You left me
