hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

I want to heal, therefore I will. It's the first step, one of the most important ones: to decide to heal and figure out how to do it as you go. This is a journey. I am not looking for a cure, I know very well some things in life can't be permanently fixed and life is never perfect. I am looking to live a comfortable cozy life in a way that is sustainable and achievable to me.

Sylvia Plath, from a letter featured in The Letters of Sylvia Plath Vol. 1: 1940-1956

I hope when the song the dog days are over by Florence and the machine comes up randomly on your playlist that it means that the shit you’ve been living through is indeed over and brighter days are ahead of you soon

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

don’t forget to be very very silly today. it’s essential

The universe responds to your frequency. It doesn't recognise your personal desires, wants or needs. It only understands the frequency in which you are vibrating at. For example; if you are vibrating in the frequency of fear, guilt or shame you are going to attract things of a similar vibration. If you are vibrating in the frequency of love, joy and abundance, you are going to attract things that support that frequency. It's kinda like tuning into a radio station. You have to be tuning into the music you want to listen to just like you have to be tuned into the energy you want to manifest into your life. Change your mindset, it will change your life.

s/o to ppl with intrusive thoughts that aren’t just like “eat sand” or “trample ur neighbor’s garden” but are really fucked up and immoral like u guys aren’t terrible just cuz the thought comes into ur mind doesnt mean u like it or want to do it i hope something good happens to u today

In case it feels overwhelming right now and no one has told you this: I’m glad you are here, still trying, still living, still holding on. You can do this, and I believe you have been doing your best. Please remember to take it easy on yourself ❤️‍🩹

You’re never too old to collect figures.

You’re never too old to be in a fandom.

You’re never too old to play video games.

You’re never too old to listen to music.

You’re never too old to enjoy things.

me & my weird interests against the world🫀🦷🕸️

Is it safe just to be who we are?
